WALL-E
Movie Review
Rated G


WALL-E : Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth Class. (In case you were wondering)

Man has abandoned Earth, which is now a lifeless planet coated in trash. They left behind robots to clean up their mess, Wall-e being one of them. But unlike his predecessors, Wall-e has developed a personality. But his world is turned upside-down when another robot arrives, Eve.
I loved this movie. It may seem like a little kids' movie, but I still enjoyed it. It has a very good message and is also very entertaining.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Summary from sarahdessen.com
"Ruby, where is your mother?" Ruby knows that the game is up. For the past few months, she's been on her own in the yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return.That's how she comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn't seen in ten years, and Cora's husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future—it's a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give?

This book is a great summer read. Very deep, but easy to get through. Not my favorite of her books, but still awesome. 4/5 stars.
