The 14 Fibs of Gregory K. my opinion

Okay. I'm going to make this clear, this is NOT a book review. I just wanted to say what this book means to me . In The 14 Fibs of  Gregory K; he hates math, but loves to write poetry. I can relate to this. I hate history, and grammar, and sometimes math. But I love to cartoon. Please do not get mad at me all you history-grammar-math lovers, I'm not saying that they are terrible subjects. But why do we study them? I guess after reading this book, it kind of tells you why these things are so important. In my eyes, I've always asked: 'When I get older, I'm going to draw comics for a living. History and math doesn't help with that. And sure grammar is important with any kind of writing, but I'm drawing! Why does it matter if you know this or not?' Well, I guess if your life goes a different way, then these things are important to know.  If you've also got trouble with one subject, and don't know why it's important, I suggest reading The 14 Fibs of Gregory K.

   Do you like a book with a good scare? Well then you are going to love this report.( Maybe.)It is about the original story of Dracula by Bram Stoker.
   This story is about a realtor who has no idea of what he is about to face. His name is Jonathan Harker and his client's name is... you guessed it! Dracula.
