   Let me begin this review by saying I'm biased. Yes, you read correctly--biased, I say! I absolutely adore anything written, directed, and drawn by Hayao Miyazaki. Thus, it is very …

Nothing Personal
I didn't expect much from a book that cost me $0.99 at Borders; it was on the clearance rack. I was correct in my skepticism. Nothing Personal contained a rather tepid romance with multiple …

Stone Fox
This is a surprising, quick read written for children, grades 3-6. I would classify it as a chapter book because it has chapters (ten of them), simple, easy to read language, and an elementary plot that …

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
This is a book that I've been wanting to re-read for a long time. From what I recall, it was haunting, moving, and engaging. I read it quickly, and to some degree, I regret that fact because there …

Devora just doesn't answer. No reason or rhyme.
March 19, 2012
Doesn't seem like her. She's usually very attentive.
March 19, 2012
I know!

Sorry you missed my reviews. I've been taking them down. My John Carter review and my 11/22/63 reviews are on Amazon. The 11/22/63 review is also on Goodreads and Shelfari.
March 19, 2012
Yes, I noticed that. I'm sad. I don't check as often these days to stay on top of it. I'll have to look on Goodreads after this last week of finals.

I really liked the new John Carter film. It helps to be familiar with the early ERB books. The film takes a few elements from the books and expands them a bit. No astral projection to Mars as in the book, but it's still fun to watch. A lot of pro reviewers really missed the mark, comparing it to Star Wars, etc., when ERB came up with fliers back in 1912! He pre-dates Buck Rogers.
March 19, 2012
Does sound like a fun watch. I'll have to see it sometime!
March 19, 2012
Yep.
 
March 04, 2012
I created a Hunger Games badge for those who have read the book and seen the movie at Forbidden Planet. From the trailer, the film looks faithful to the book.
March 09, 2012
Congrats on creating some cool new badges. I haven't had time to create some, but I will make some time during my week break before the next quarter begins.
March 10, 2012
Yep, can't wait for this movie. And John Carter, since I am a big ERB fan.
March 19, 2012
Keep me informed of what you think of the new John Carter film.
