The best known novel that people have never read.

This is the number one work of literature (except from the Christian Bible) that people have heard of but never read. This is due to the controversy it caused when it was published, which resulted in the author receiving death threats (or a fatwa) by the Muslim community for depicting the prophet Muhammad as a paedophile.

Full of magic realism and fantasy elements, The Satanic Verses is a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions. An absolute must read for the secular and religious communities because it makes one think deeply about religious matters.

The third and final of the X-Wing omnibus editions, which contains the following 5 stories:

In the Empire's Service
The Making of Baron Fel
Family Ties
Masquerade
Mandatory Retirement

Well, when I say stories it's really one story arc told over all 5, with most of that arc concerning Baron Soontir Fel who (according to one panel) Vader had his TIE prototype made in order to avoid being beaten in sims by Fel. Set before the novels, the arc also takes in Ysanne Isard's - the main villain in the X-Wing novels - rise to power, but also leaves some plot elements hanging.

This, I felt, was the best of the three omnibuses: pity it was just in time for the series to end.

Halloween II is a better film
Contains spoilers, click to show
I like rob zombie's : Halloween II, i think its better than Rob Zombie's : Halloween.

Halloween II- focus on the charcters truma after the frist film, how its hard for them to get over micheal myers. Laurie learns that shes realated to micheal though Loomis book, intstead in person. The truma, the psycological elements are good.

Halloween II- makes the mistake of grown up micheal talking. In the directors cut michael tells sam loomis to die. Its very odd, ruins the charcter and breaks the lore of micheal not talked. Micheal is a non talking charcter with him saying die ruins everything about him.

Halloween II- is barely better, but again its not a great movie.

I liked Halloween II but felt it ruined a lot of essential elements that make Halloween what it is. The r rated version has some pretty messed up psychological aspects to it for Michael and lori/angel but I can see what they are trying to do with it. I'll be watching and reviewing the latest Halloween this week hopefully will redeem
