This was another good book. I thought that the author makes the characters likeable. With that said, the writing was not amazing. It didn't flow very well. I thought that the author would choose a couple words and stick with them and never change them. If I read another "Oh my" I may scream.

I did find this an entertaining series and I'm glad that I read them. With that said, these are guilty pleasure books, those books that you may not want to openly discuss with some people. I'm not ashamed of what I read but I was glad that I read these books on my nook.

All in all, the story was good but it read like a fantasy of a young adult/teen and not as realistic as I would have hoped. The books were entertaining but they left me wanting "more"...

Some people may find it too stupid and ridiculous
A lot of fun, dont take it seriously
I had a lot of fun with this movie. The idea was certainly funny and interesting. What the world would be like if only dumb people survived. Opens the movie up to some funny scenarios and jokes.

Plus...Terry Crews, what's not to love. I loved the cast in general. All brought something to the movie and was all great.

Very funny and definitely some laugh out loud moments. Not the greatest movie and it's not meant to be. And definitely don't take this seriously. Go into this expecting stupid fun and you will enjoy it.

I did think it was a bad ending but wasn't sure how else they could have ended it to be fair.

"That’s real easy. I’d have to say Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, with the dudes shaking hands and the guy is lit on fire. Storm Thorgersen is an amazing artist, so much so that we used a guy named Hugh Syme, who was a protégé of his, for Countdown To Extinction and Youthanasia. We wanted something original and thought provoking and not just an illustration. We got pigeonholed and everyone was like ‘Where’s Vic?’ every time. With Youthanasia, people’s asses were growing together because they thought we actually hung babies upside down and took pictures. What we did was have the moms come in and the babies were on these clear tables with the light underneath, then the moms would grab their toes and pull their legs straight so it looked like they were hanging by their feet. I thought that was brilliant."

"I guess anyone who's read any sort of Nick Cave book will tell you this story, but when they finished this record his girlfriend at the time, Anita Lane, did the painting for the sleeve and he thought it was really, really shit but he let it be the cover anyway. But I like it. I'm a sucker for painted roses for some reason. When I was first in The Horrors, The Birthday Party were definitely one band that we all collectively liked, other than 60s garage bands. They are a fantastic band. In terms of Birthday Party-related things though, I think one of my favourites is Rowland Howard's first solo album called Teenage Snuff Film, but that isn't an illustrated cover so I didn't include it. But Rowland Howard is one of my favourite guitarists and that's probably what I liked most about The Birthday Party."

Hmm...that last bit has stumped me a little. I'll give it 3.5 stars.

I have no idea where the name came from for this because there isn't much hate going on or f*@king for that matter. There's a lot of tension and few sexual interactions but not too much--which is good as far as I'm concerned. Too much puts me off.

Another thing I liked was there was actually a plot to this book--with the name you can never be too sure--and I enjoyed it. The tension was brilliant and I couldn't wait for it to peak which it did right at the end.

As for the other part of the story, the family issue and Cole's secrets I am very intrigued by that ending. What the hell happened?!

I think I'll have to get the second part just to find out.

"This is directed by Alexander Ptushko. I think he was Russian but he did all his films in Finland because they actually had money. This is like an amalgam of Norse folk tales poured into a film. The special effects are stunning for the time of the film, and yet it is so whacked out. It’s indescribable. It seems like it was filmed with an alien culture. Nothing makes any sense of any iteration of myth or culture that you can think up in this world. It’s actually quite beautiful, and it has a hero whose name is Lemminkäinen who tries to be a hero and just continues to fail in every respect and yet he comes home and it’s “hail to the conquering hero” even though he’s a total failure. And we actually sing a song in the Riff Trax about what a failure he is."
