How the women characters are sometimes portrayed (1 more)
Overly logical explanations
It is a good intro into the fantasy genre, however it is a product of its time and how he portrays the female characters is a little lacking. Although you can tell he tries to make them...good? Interesting? More (for lack of a better term) than what most books had in 1977. He tried. It does get a bit dull especially if you've read someone who actually has written good/great female characters.
And I know the main character is 25 but at times he seems younger than that so although he complains a lot about being coddled and treated like a child, I sometimes think dude you're such a child. And how he thinks about women sometimes dismissing them is blah but he not irredeemably idiotic about it just annoying at times.
Anthony likes his "!" for emphasis which maybe the book showing its age! But it was a fun story and has a wonderful magic system so it sorta evens itself out.
It was a fun book and kept you guessing and didn't end exactly the way I thought it would which as good but didn't completely catch me by surprise.

I remember playing this fun Star Wars game for my Game Cube quite a bit. The various vehicle missions were a lot of fun and kind of a precursor to the vehicle missions in the LEGO Star Wars games.
I repurchased this game recently and replayed still having a lot of fun.

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Pet Sematary (2019) in Movies
Apr 13, 2019
Pet Sematary (2019) just goes to show that when it comes to certain stories, sometimes read is better.
Handsomely produced and atmospherically shot, this re-adaptation of Stephen King’s powerful exploration of grief serves to underline the key message of the original novel: it’s best to let dead things rest...

I normally don't go for these teen shows but I was intrigued by the whole Archie thing. I love how it's SO different and dark! The HS stereotypes are funny and sometimes makes it more comedic than dramatic, which is great. It's not for everyone, but it's fun to watch and isn't a show you have to take super seriously.

Action packed thriller
This book was amazing! Not since Jack Reacher and Vanessa “Michael” Munro has there been a character like Eva Driscoll. This novel was an action packed page turner that I could not put down. I can’t wait to find out what else is in store for her and for us!
