Anti-Hero Realization.

Well, with the lack of books I have to read...

And of course the lack of time I have to read books.

There is one book that I'm reading, which is pretty good, and was recently a movie.

And while reading it, and thinking about the character...

She kinda relates to Harry Potter.

I know, Harry is quite the anti-hero.

But this book, the main character's name is Valerie, is somewhat like the other series.

The main character:
-lacks perfection and purity, she is definitely not like the other females in the village.
-of course, female.
-she's pretty, but she denies it.
-she has two masters, because I cannot choose just one, her sister and grandmother.
-The "DID" is actually the man she's betrothed to.
-Her fault is her inability to follow directions and society.
-A flaw is that what blood actually runs through her veins. (( I can't tell you this without telling you the end of the story )).

Overall, a pretty good book.

And movie, but you know...

If anyone has seen Red Riding Hood in theaters...

You'll like the book.

It's short, but good. (:

Anyone agree??

  1. I have not read the book, or seen the movie, but I love when women are the heroes! I don't think it's fair that a hero has to be a man, and there has to be a damsel in distress! I say, go Valerie! She sounds like an anti-hero to me for the most part, but I can't judge for myself, the movie looked great though. Girl power!

  2. Hey my anti-hero is female but not human. So I did make my anti-hero very different from most stories. I would love to read it, of course after I read the many books I have planned on reading over the summer.

  3. I like how the DID is a guy :O haha. It's usually the other way around, and it's nice to see a change!
