Book Rating
If I'm honest I was more interested in the conclusion of Cyn and Raphael's story than the missing person case in this. Jabril was a bit of a psychotic control freak that I would have gladly staked myself if I could have jumped into this story. Power hungry a-hole.

As for the romance aspect. It took way too long for Raphael to surface in this--almost half way through--and the mystery aspect wasn't holding my attention that much. So when he reappeared I was jumping for joy wanting them to just get it on. It took a little too long for Raphael to admit he was wrong in what he did and for them to get back together but in the end, they did. Woohoo!

Hopefully the rest of the series will be more romance orientated or I won't be distracted by will-they won't-they storylines.

How Games Should Be Done
This game should have been game of the year last year. It has it all. Graphics, gameplay, story and characters. You play as Jin as he struggles to keep the code of the Samurai in order to free his clan and his family from the threat of the Mongols. The story makes you care not only about the main character but your friends that accompany you on your mission. As you embark on your journey you learn new tactics and gain charms that enhance your abilities in order to take down Khotun Kahn....the leader of the Mongol invasion. You will eventually master different sword styles and a bevy of weapons to use in your adventure. If you haven't played this game yet, then you are missing out. For any gamer this is a must play.

"Half a century ago in 1967 there were two Kaleidoscopes, one in the US and one in the UK. Both were wonderful, but the UK band sang endearing lines such as "My god! The spiders are everywhere!" so I'll just write about them for now. Probably the tinniest band of the 60s, they never achieved mass popularity but psychedelic fan lists rate them higher than the era's supposed classics, due to their ecstatic melodies and gleefully oblique lyrics. "Strawberry monkeys are smiling for Julie, with pearl button eyes that reflect velvet clouds. Can you hear them smiling?" They changed their name to the Fairfield Parlour and stayed just as great. Now that the competition is quickly disappearing, they should get back together and be the most popular pop-psych band in the world, instead of merely the best. If they're missing some members, they can just take them from Kaleidoscope USA. "

"This is my first favorite book ever. My mother bought it for me as a kid and it came with a Stellanuna plush doll. Manly, right? Mom read it to me whenever I asked until I lost Stellaluna in the first grade. (TRAGIC.) My mother, being the most awesome of mothers, put up Missing Poster signs for Stellaluna. No one ever called with information, no ransom notes were left next to my lunch box, and Stellaluna wasn't hiding inside my hamper or under my bed. Stellaluna was gone. I thought back to the book, and how the birds cared for Stellaluna while she was lost - teaching her to sit upright during the day and all that - and how her time with the birds - and me - was short-lived so she could return to a life of living in the night and sleeping upside down. I think maybe my bat went home."
