Current

1.  "And even though it was just a flesh wound, you climbed up that tree every day for a week to bring your victim a bowl of Screaming Yellow Zonkers."
     -I liked this sentence because i thought it was funny how Shawn used to go out everyday and feed the squirrel Yellow Zonkers, which is cereal, because he had hit it by accidentally droppin hbis beebee gun and giving the squirrel a flesh wound
2.  "The magic words!"
     -Its simple but I liked it because "the magic words" were the magic words to get into the Fortress which is a magicians club.
3.  "Why would there be a guard dog out here?" "Mayeb to guard the place?"
     -Just think its funny because Shawn throughout the book so far has been kind of dumb about certain things and he never puts two and two together. So Gus uses sarcasm a lot throughout the book to contradict what he says.

The Green Monster..... Oh and the Chubby guy

Gus remembered that the invitation said there were certain magic words that needed to be said or else they’d be eaten to death. Shawn knew the entire time what they were. He said, “the magic words” and lights turned on and the growling stopped. Shawn also knew that the growling was a stereo because it had a pattern. When the two entered the fortress they were surprised by how run down and trashy looked. This was supposed to be an exclusive club where magicians performed their most illusionary tricks. As Shawn and Gus proceeded to the bar area to give the bachelor the gift; they were stopped by a magician on the ground “picking up” his cards. Gus took a card and continued with the trick and as they walked away from the magician he found his card in his sock. As the party continues a loud shriek comes from the front of the building. Everyone ran to the front and the building started to shake as if there was an earthquake. It shook again. And again. A large green monster like guy came in and walked spontaneously around the room weaving in and out between people. His name is P’tol P’kah and he is a “Martian Magician.” He was there to perform his signature act. He would dissolve in a glass tank of water and then materialize in the back of the fortress. A volunteer named Balustrade came forth from the audience of people to prove that the tank actually had water in it and there were no stipulations that would allow him to escape the tank of water without materializing. P’tol P’kah shut the glass covering while Balustrade was still inside. He was struggling and gasping for air when P’tol P’kol pulled him up by his feet with a rope. When everyone noticed that the tank had no fake flaws about it; the “Martian Magician” continued on with presenting his illusion. He got in the tank and the tank started filling up with bubbles which were being released from P’tol P’kah’s body. Slowly appendages began to look like stubs and the tank was empty…… The crowd turned toward the back of the room where he said he would rematerialize and he wasn’t there. He hadn’t come back? Where was he? A woman screamed when she noticed that his boots and hat were still in the tank and they were being worn by a chubby fat man who was clearly dead. The Santa Barbra Police Department came to the fortress and was surprised to see that Shawn and Gus were there. No on the Department wanted them to be there. Detective Charles Lassiter was directing people to be organized into one room and figure out what magicians had a problem with P’tol P’kah. And they all had something similar to say and that was they all hated him for some reason. So who did it? And where did P’tol P’kah go?

The Truth...

It was red paint beginning to peel. Gus’s dad comes around the corner and Shawn exclaims, “I thought it was an emergency?” “Thank god it wasn’t because I could’ve been murdered a thousand times by the time you got here,” replied Henry Spencer, Gus’s father. Henry just wanted Gus and Shawn to take a certain “gag gift” to someone he knew that invited him to his bachelor party. Henry says he can’t go because of something that happened a long time ago. The club wouldn’t allow him to enter the premises. Henry handed them an invitation to go and drop off the gift and figure out if his friend’s fiancé is actually loyal or just a “floozy” who is out to steal his money. They were to drop off the gift at the fort which is short for fortress. As they were walking up the hill they could hear growls and howls in the near distance. They continued on and as they grew nearer they realized the growls were closer and closer and then all of a sudden the lights go out and nothing is to be seen and the only thing to be heard is the slobbering and howling sound of bloodthirsty dogs.

Psych: MIND OVER MAGIC

Gus and Shawn, who are part of the Santa Barbra Police Department, live a very adventurous life. They see things from a different point of view, and that’s because they are psychics. They think and work hard but they play harder. In the book, Psych: MIND OVER MAGIC, it begins with a chilling phone call made by a mysterious man. He mentioned its life and death that it’s an emergency. They hang up. As Shawn and Gus despairingly try and locate the call and track the number of the “unknown;” the man calls back and says its life and death and someone is dead you need to hurry. As time passed Gus realized there was a tone to the caller that was familiar. Shawn announced “Dad?” and Gus’s stomach dropped. Perplexed of how he couldn’t recognize the voice of his own dad right away angered him. Gus and Shawn sped through town to his father’s house, Shawn kicked the door in, and once they entered they noticed redness on the wall.

My Type of Book

I enjoy reading books about serious or comical investigations, family problems, abandonements of family or even a child, life problems such as a struggle with an addiction or thoughts of suicide, and at a rare occasion I like to read a book with a problematic love story.
