Book Rating

An absurd collection of tabloid-style articles that marries folklore, fairytales, and nursery rhymes with the issues of everyday life. From Rumplestiltskin being indicted for the straw-to-gold scandal to the sibling drama of the three little pigs, with headlines such as “Game-Changing Name Change for Rumplestiltskin” and “Wolf Suing Pigs for Injuries Sustained” you’re sure to be entertained.

As a lifelong fan of classic fairytales, I found myself laughing out loud as beloved characters were used to mock and poke fun at real-world issues.

Lynne (18 KP) rated Magician: Apprentice (The Riftwar Saga, #1) in Books

Jan 23, 2020

Book one of the Riftwar Saga is a definite must read. I've seen Raymond Feist's books on the shelf for years and only now decided to read one. This and the second, Magician Master ,were originally written as one book. It tells the story of Pug, who rises from an orphan to become one of the most powerful magicians in any kingdom. Feist writes beautifully , making the reader forget the real world and become fully immersed in theirs. Definite addition to anyone's list that appreciates an epic fantasy story.

Get over here!

This is one of my all time favourite games and actually had a lasting impact on the gaming world as we know it, thanks to fatalities and the introduction of the age ratings.

As a kid what's not to love about this very unique fighting game, controlling what looks like real people, finding the elusive special moves and finally inputting the secret code to humiliate your opponent with a devastating fatality.
