Very easy to teach. (5 more)
Very fast gameplay.
Great replayability.
The Drafting/Press your luck combo in phase 1 is superb.
Scales very well, good fun with 2, 3, or 4 players.
The suspense lingers to the very end.
Some think the theme is "pasted on". (1 more)
The quality of the cards could be better, easily remedied with sleeves, though.
Biblios is one of the best card drafting games out there, and one of the best filler games. Highly Recommended!

"The fifth movie, I would say… let me see… I would have to say it would probably be Jaws, ’cause I think that Jaws… it’s the height of suspense for filmmaking, it was the start of the summer blockbuster, it was the beginning of an entire genre of filmmaking and obviously the beginning, in some respects, of Steven Spielberg’s career. I think Jaws is a remarkable film. Those are the five today. You ask me tomorrow and I might change of few of them. [laughs]"

Shattered
By Dean Koontz
⭐️⭐️⭐️

It started out as a kid's game to while away the long drive across the country. It ends in a grotesque nightmare of death and destruction. Someone's out to get them. To destroy their dreams of the future. To plunge then into a paranoid world where every sound could be the last thing they hear.


A quick fun read. My first Dean Koontz book too this was fast paced and full of suspense.

This rating is actually a 2.5 but we still can't do half stars on here, so I rounded up.

So I read this book before I read Gone Girl, but even with that, I was expecting an amazing book full of suspense and plot twists and just general intrigue. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the potential for me.

I did not like the characters at all. They fell flat for me and were too whiny and clingy for my taste. I especially did not like the main character.I have a feeling there was a point to her being unreliable, probably to show that she most likely knew what happened but couldn't remember, but I just found it annoying. I am not one to judge a character by their actions, like drinking excessively, but this felt a little overdone in this book.

Even the plot twists I kinda saw coming. Like, from the beginning. There wasn't enough suspense for me to really get into the book and enjoy it. By the end, I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.

Overall, it just wasn't my kind of book, I guess.
