Not typical vampire story
The start of a great series!!!
This is BY FAR one of my favorite book series. The authors set it up really well and give backstory and pertinent information without getting lost in flashbacks or dragging on forever. Plus I like the references to native American culture and mythology!

I really enjoyed all the points of this story. I enjoyed learning things within black culture that I may not have known before. Even if you arent into video games this was a great book. I will say I didn't care for how blinded she seemed to be to the toxic relationship the main character was in throughout the book.

Ugh, it was a bit too long for my liking and I'm not too into history, so the old gods and spirits of native american culture didn't particularly interest me. Also the fact that he pretty much betrayed her at the end didn't help the rating any either. I like my stories to have a happy-ish ending and this one kinda doesn't.

Excellent acting
Brilliant soundtrack
Iconic 80s coming of age film
I've loved this film since I can remember - Broderick is perfect in it, and it's spawned so many pop culture references as a result I can't even count. Funny, stylish, and cool. When you're binging John Hughes films, finish strong with this one.

Great, fun read!
This is a really fun read, especial for a fan of the 80's. The main character is wonderful, as well as the side characters. The world created is completely fleshed out, inside and outside the game. Hopefully, the movie will do it justice. This is a book that would translate well to film.

Beautiful poignant storytelling across generations
Khaled Hosseini is one of the most amazing storytellers. His descriptions are moving and stunning told with such delicacy and subtlety, I shed many a tear reading it. Spanning across generations, the group of people all tied together experience both wonder and loss. The different narrators were great, understanding the importance of the culture through the language. Highly recommended.
