    sunnyf's book review was featured in Black Belt Club #1: The Seven Wheels Of Power.
    This book seemed to be a childish and shallow book when I first saw the cover. As I read, I realized I was wrong. Honestly, the words this book used aren’t hard at all. They can be understood easily. However, deeper behind the words, there’re a lot more meanings beyond. The four kids in the Black Belt Club have distinct personalities. Max wasn’t confident about himself at the very beginning, but as he fought against their enemies with the three other karate students, he found himself and his bravery. The four karate students’ hearts also came together at the end and, they successfully defeated their enemies.This motivated me to keep up what I believe and my perseverance to fight until the end. Even though this story has a typical good versus evil theme, it taught us the importance of keeping the balance of everything. In my personal opinion as an example, a life without goals is boring, aimless, and wasted, but a life full of expectations will be too stressed and tired. This story can be inspirational to people that are feeling low, helpless, and uncertain about themselves. You might not succeed if you try hard, but you will never know you can if you never give it a shot, try hard, do your best, and give up your best effort and spirit.

    The Great Gatsby is personally too deep for me to understand and dissolve all of it. This story was based on the Jazz Age, when the rich and fabulous were having marvelous parties after World War I. I like Jordan Baker the most in this story, because even though she is cynical, I think she was wise and knew a lot of things. Daisy was the person I don’t admire the most. Although she was beautiful and men were infatuated by her, but I feel like she was just a pretty shell without a deep soul. Her desires weren’t realistic and she was greedy. However, she reminded me and taught me to not become someone that resembles her. I saw there are a lot of things that weren’t reveal. I learnt that the world is make up of greed, lies, and insidiously and undoubtedly, reality. It’s hard to face the truth that people are actually selfish creatures that often think about themselves. People are fickle, like plants, we often choose the way that benefit us the most. It might sound disappointed and dark, but sadly and truly, it’s the truth.

    sunnyf's book review was featured in Stargirl.
    In my opinion, I think Stargirl is an important reflection, or mirror that all of us lack. In her study in Mica High, she didn’t dress up or behave in the way everyone else did when she first showed up. Leo was later attracted by Stargirl and loved her, but he actually expected she would keep trying to blend in and act normal. To me, in this story, Archie is the symbol of wisdom and our soul, because I think when we feel perplexed, it’s essential to listen to our hearts and make the wise decision. However, he isn’t my favorite character. I love Stargirl Caraway the most. She was outrageous, courageous, extraordinary, differently amazing, and beautiful from the deepest part of her soul. Maybe she seemed to be a careless person in the story, but actually I think the only thing she was doing is being herself and enjoying her life. Honestly, I personally think the most common way people encounter others’ disapprovals is to change ourselves even we actually don’t want to and aren’t willing to. Well, at least I admit that’s me. After reading this book, I found the power to love what I did and do what I love as well as love myself.

    sunnyf's book review was featured in Paper Towns.
    Paper Towns is definitely a straight masterpiece to me. Under John Green’s writing, he exquisitely described a high schooler, Quentin’s life. Well, not just writing down his personal life and daily routine in an interesting way, but also an admirable description of his feelings and thoughts about Margo, his mysterious neighbour as well as someone he love. I would call this book an incredible piece, because through the journey Quentin was finding Margo, he wasn’t just finding her. In addition, I think Quentin was also finding himself and his soul. I really love the part Margo and Quentin went on their adventure during the midnight. Reading this book was like appreciating an artwork. Different kinds of feelings and thoughts popped out in my mind as I read through the story while having different emotions and reading through different perspectives. This book kept me reading incessantly. In my opinion, this book is attractive and can interest teenagers since the characters are mostly close to their age and this book is extremely affective in a lot of ways. I have to say I’m not apple-polishing this book. I really enjoyed it, because it gave me ups and downs, or I would say laughters and tears. It also motivated me to look things through more than one perspectives and it's fine to get lost, because you have to get lost before you find yourself, as the book expressed.
