OK, so first things first: this novel is older than I am (by about 10 years or so)

First published in 1968, I believe.

As such, it's of a very different time than today.

It's also undoubtedly a strange amalgam of science fiction (they're on a different planet, people!) and fantasy, leaning - I felt - more towards the latter than the former.

It also has, I believe, a strong following of people who thoroughly enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, I'm not one of them, finding it to be dull, boring and (mostly) bland, despite the initially intriguing setting. It also doesn't help that I didn't find any of the main characters to be all that interesting or even engaging - a cardinal sin, in my opinion. Characters don't necessarily have to be 'good' (see: Marvel's 'Loki'), but they do need to hold your attention!

Sorry, Ms McCaffrey - this just didn't really work for me.

277. The Endless. So this has to be one of the cooler films I've seen recently. Its about two brothers Aaron and Justin, that escaped from a cult that believed a UFO was coming to take them away, and knowing how these things usually turn out, Justin decides to take his little bro away and escape. Now a decade later, life hasn't been easy, and after receiving an eerie message in the mail from a member they used to know, speaking of 'the end' the brothers decide to see whats been happening or changed. And what they find is pretty incredible. One of those flicks I'd rather not spoil to much because it was really really good. A pretty awesome sci fi story, with great writing and directing, by the stars themselves: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead! Lovers of science fiction and good story telling watch this movie!
