The 5th Wave - Trailer Thoughts.

Ashvini:
January 17th, 2016!!  First off, I absolutely love this movie poster and I think it totally looks 5th Wave-ish.
Now, my thoughts on the trailer… It looks good. I just find that the way this trailer is cut up is very confusing. I showed this trailer to a cousin who hasn’t read the book and his reaction was: “It’s okay.” I feel slightly nervous about this because The 5th Wave was such a successful book and in turn I feel that the movie should appeal to more than just readers of the book. One thing in the book that Cassie said was “Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping against the sky.” That’s a very unique thing to say when you’re about to fight evil and that quote contributed quite a bit to my love for the book in so many ways, so I was a bit disappointed when they changed that up in the trailer to, what I find a very common (in general) thing to say.
The cast and characters… I really love Chloe Grace-Moretz though I was a bit nervous at first that she was playing Cassie, but after watching the trailer I think she looks good as Cassie and I’m hopeful. Did anybody else visualize Ringer differently than she is in the trailer? I did. I didn’t even recognize her until someone in a reaction video pointed that out! Though I’m pretty sure, isn’t Ringer quarter-Indian? I guess that threw me off… #lifeofabooknerd. One other thing I noticed in the trailer was one or two scenes with Ben and Cassie. I’m guessing those are from the end of the movie because they only know each other after The Others for like a half an hour in the book. If not… Yikes! That’s another thing that makes me nervous.Now that we are done talking about the trailer lets talk about the actual characters.

Emma:
My first thought is that the cover looks so cool and totally represents the book and what it is about! I don't really know what to expect.
The trailer was interesting but I feel like it didn't really capture the essence and it was all over the place. There are some books that you read and you really wonder how they will manage to turn it into a movie. This book was like that. Through most of Cassie's perspective she is alone and it is just her and her thoughts. I am really scared that they might add in a voice over (which never go over very well) or have her think out loud which would be even weirder.
 The thing with trailers is that some times the producers put in the action packed events. It just so happens that the action packed events are normally at the climax which results in either you being spoiled for life or very, very confused. I felt more confused than spoiled but since I already read the book I was able to tell what was happening (just barely).

So I think that Chloe Grace-Mortez is a good pick for Cassie. There are so many other (minor and major) characters that I look at and I just shake my head. Because with all of my characters have at least one characteristic or symbol that I think of when I think of them.
I Almost don't recognize most f the characters including Ringer, Ben, Evan, Teacup,
Poundcake ( whose supposed to be 12/13ish), Sammy etc.
not much more to say so ... um ... have a nice day!

                              
Are you as psyched as we are for The 5th Wave movie? Let us know your opinions in the comment! Oh and let us know if you recognized Ringer in the trailer!

 More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

 Yours Truly,
Emma and Ashvini

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w

Out With The Old - It's Time For Some Changes.

With school in full swing and crisp autumn air rolling in, it’s been about two months since the publishing of our last post. Two months . We’re sorry for that. Truly. Here’s the thing, though... TwoGirlsThatRead is our creative space.   A place where we create content about what we love: literature. However, for too long we’ve been unsuccessfully attempting to continue our regular weekly schedule and have concluded the mission by posting for the sake of posting. That is not okay. We want to ignite TwoGirlsThatRead to its fullest potential, and to do so, we need to make a few changes... Quality over quantity . Our posts may not be regular, but you can still expect a few posts a month...we promise :), but  we want to refocus on presenting the best representation of our ideas, thoughts, and writing. Improve our content . We’d like to spice it up a little. The origin idea for this blog was to create a space where we could discuss our ideas.

Wrapping Up Summer TBR.

Hello Everyone, As we bask in the last month of summer and all it’s glory, as the season comes to a close actually; we’re still holding onto some really amazing and “summery” novels in our TBR. So, as, booklovers it is our faithful duty to...READ THEM ASAP! Like, now. Before summer ends (or attempt to). So, the following novels, as requested by a wonderful reader, are 5 reads that are most definitely to be gobbled up by us before the end of the season. We have each selected two books that we would love to indulge in, regardless of whether or not the other has ANY interest for us to read it, and one that we both mutually MUST agree on. A total of five "summery" books shall be read. An updated post with mini reviews on each of the books shall come soon...wink, wink!                        Ashvini’s Pick: Until Friday Night - Abby Glines.
