1st person shooter

A very stylish shooter based on the novel "Metro 2033". It is rather dark (in tone) but lovely to look at. It can get rather hectic at times, kind of like a Russian "Fallout"

I think Watchmen is a marvelous graphic novel about the idolization of heroes in society. We praise heroes, but what happens when they are not necessarily the good guys? Are you wrong for rooting for justice, rather than goodness?

Really struggled to get through this (but in general am glad I did). There is an improvement over the alloy of law, but it felt more like a bridge novel to set up events in the bands of mourning.

I read this novel long ago and I didn't not appreciate it then as I would now. The ending is not what I thought it would be and Deaver did such a great job at not giving it away.

Nicely balanced fantasy novel on the struggles of war (0 more)

The first book was definitely my favorite, but I appreciated the incorporation of Mik and Suzanna in the Chimera world. It gave the story just the right amount of levity.

I liked the first 2/3rds of this novel, but then it dissolved into something really odd. Odd to the point of slightly disturbing, which is kind of Ballard's thing. But, I don't think it worked in this case.

AT (1676 KP) rated Locke & Key Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft in Books

Jan 6, 2019

The timeline in this graphic novel went back and forth a bit, so it was confusing in the beginning. However, once the family moved, it started to make a lot more sense. It's an interesting, but psychologically creepy story.
