City of Bones

City of Bones is book one of The Mortal Instruments series, by Cassandra Clare. As most people would know it has been made into a sparkling, supposablyl funny (I sat with a frown through out) action packed film. It is in my opinion adequate. If you have never read the book, by all means go I’m sure you will love it, but if you have you may not want to hand over your money. If you do decide to go then this brilliant blockbuster will present you with large sections missed out, main characters have seemed to disappear and the structure of the movie will take on a whimsical path all of its own, only remember in parts that its meant to be a book called City of Bones. I say this with a heavy heart because I wish too much from a movie and I am always disappointed when I see the adaptation. I will the movie to meet the same standards of my imagination. I know to expect it; I continually say to myself I wont watch the movie because it will disappoint me with its absolute diversion to the written word. Then what do I do? Now, I’ll stop talking about my hatred for the movie and move on to the book because I could rant my life away. 
The book itself (that I am now rereading) is just as witty and enthralling as the last time. I am now remembering why I loved the book so. The book starts in New York, were we are introduced to a 16-year-old girl called Clary Fray who is starting to see strange things. Her mother has disappeared and the creatures are taking form, demons. Clary knows she has entered a new faze of her life when she meets the secretive shadowhunters. 
The main character in City of Bones is a strong woman like most teen fiction books and has a love story entwined. It’s a thing young girls, I predict all crave for: independency but always an arm to fall back on… or is it’s just something our society hasn’t shuck of yet? Even though city of bones has the same basic story line (we have to start somewhere) it molds it into something all of its own. It has something that has me rereading it and not many books can do that.
