A 21-Centuries-old Celt, and he has an Irish Wolfhound named Oberon, with whom they share a telepathic bond/communication? Look, you had me at the inclusion of a furry/fuzzy dog! However, it went downhill thereafter!

From the first page, there is a playful sense of adventure within, and that is good. Unfortunately, having the lead character "knock boots" with any of the Tuatha Dé Danann who appear in the book left an unpleasant taste in mouth. Further exacerbating the taste was the objectification used in his description of anyone of the opposite sex! Wow! It started to feel like a ride on the Misogynist Express..and that was only the first six Chapters (I couldn't go any further)!

It's a shame, too, because the series has garner a more than fair amount of praise, and with the upcoming Dabel Brothers comic adaptation of the series, I was looking forward to this. Ah well, there's other, less sexist/misogynistic/etc. fantasy/urban fantasy out there. You (and I) can do better to search elsewhere..

Fun times
This cult classic is a fun musical.
This might not before everyones taste, very sexual theme movie. To watch this properly you need to go to an event where they are showing it. People will be there dressed up as characters and have props like water guns, toast and more fun things. If you plan to watch this at home you will be missing out on so much.
This is not a movie but a social event for the weird.

Nothing (0 more)
A story of John Cusacs record store owning character's decent into madness as he tries to recall why his relationships are a failure.
Another fantastic comedy where it's difficult to find a weak point, all players are on form with stand out mention to Jack Black who munches through every scene he is in.
Championship records is not the place to buy music you love personally, unless you want a detailed reason why your musical taste sucks.

You can almost taste the Texas/Mexican dust in your mouth and the heat of the sun on your back. A good read, the action starts just about at the beginning and continues throughout. If anything I would have wanted a bit more description between Santo and Rose as i still can't picture what the look like in my head. All in all a great start to what i hope will be and amazing series that I will continue reading.
