BookReviewThe Same Stuff as Stars
By: Katherine Patterson
Angel is a girl with a father who is a thief and murderer now locked up in
jail. She has a mother who doesnt really care for her kids so she and her
brother are taken and left in their grandmothers care while her mother
runs away with another man. Angel soon finds a Star Man who shows
her the beauty of the universe.
This book is really touching because it shows how a little girl tried her
best even when it wasnt going so well. Abandoned by her mother, she
found happiness when she was with the Star Man learning about the stars.
Angel was a character I really liked because she was smart and caring.
She never gave up hope that her mother would come back and that they
would have a better life.
Teen Idol
By: Meg Cabot
Jenny Greenley is the schools secret Ask Annie, who gives people
advice about their problems. However she is soon asked to help the
famous Luke Striker fit into school while keeping his identity a secret.
I really enjoyed this story and it was really funny. The main character hada really likable personality and had really funny thoughts. I was confused
when I first read the book because there were Ask Annie letters on
every other page but later I found them really interesting to read. The
story showed the meaning of friendship and secrets and how you have to
stand up for yourself. It really makes you wonder what kind of
personality one really has.
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
By: Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Kimberly Kirberger, Mitch
Claspy
This book is filled with personal experiences from teens with themes from
love to family, this book has it all. When I first read this book I thought it
was really boring. But, now that I am older and have read it again, I found
that it is actually a really good book. It has stories about things that
everyone has to face and the people who wrote these stories share their
experience and how they dealt with their problems. It is really worth
reading!

Jokes
Lawyer: I have some good news and some bad news.
Client: Well, give me the bad news first.
Lawyer: The bad news is that the DNA tests showed that it was your blood they found all over the
crime scene
Client: Oh no! I'm ruined! What's the good news?
Lawyer: The good news is your cholesterol is down to 130!

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party.
Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking
the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people
from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

FIFA 09
Release Status: Already out
Genre: Football / Soccer
Price: HKD 299 (ToysRus)
Platform: Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, PC and NDS
Ratings: 4/5
Review: FIFA 09 is a must-have game for all soccer fans on all the platforms, from beautifulgraphics to unbelievably realistic game play. FIFA 09 is extremely good at making you feel like
youre in control of everything on the pitch. Fully customizable tactics, plenty of depth in the game
play and of course the Be a Pro mode allow for realistic game play. Unfortunately, the game does
have its flaws, the AI is extremely good at getting the ball away from you, which makes new-
comers to the game annoyed. The goal keeping of the AI is also a bit dodgy, playing online does
suffer from lag frequently and worst of all, the Adidas Live Season which updates the game hourly
costs a lot for Xbox Live and PS Networks subscribers.
METAL GEAR SOLID 4
Release Status: Already out
Genre: Stealth Shooter
Price: HKD 496 (HMV)
Platform: PS3
Ratings: 5/5
Review: Metal Gears Solid 4 is another must-have game for all PS3 owners. Why? Because itis said to be The Greatest Game Ever Made The game excels through the story line and game
play. The game basically lets you complete the game in anyway you want. The game also has a lot
of mind-blowing audiovisual presentation, tight shooting mechanics, and lots of cool gadgets you
can use. There are only two bad things about the game and those are, the story-line is heavy-
loaded, basically meaning that if you havent played MGS before, then you wont understand the
story at all. The second thing is that this game is the last of its series.

Skate 2
Release Status: Already out
Genre: Skateboarding
Price: HKD 299(HMV)
Platform: Xbox 360 and PS3
Ratings: 3/5
Review: Lots of EA Skate fans found Skate 2 extremely disappointing. They have said that it wasnot worth the long wait and the main reasons was the game play. The on-foot movement was filled
with glitches and was not realistic at all. One classmate said, It was like watching a robot ice-
skating on concrete. As well, the pedestrians on the street get in the way almost every race you
play in the game. The story line is also a bit weak. But there are some good points in Skate 2, there
is a big gain of tricks, like the hippy-jump and the hand-stand. Exploring the city is also pretty
fun, specially when you find new skate spots. And, the races in the game are pretty fast and fun.
Overall, Skate 2 is a decent game but not as good as the first one, I wouldnt recommend you to
buy this if youve played Skate 1, but if you havent, this could be the next new game for you.
