Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Twenty-Nine and a Half Reasons in Books

Jan 6, 2021

3 stars.

The first 40% of this took me a long time to get into. I don't know why. Maybe it was the trial, maybe it was the lack of Joe, but after Mason was introduced I became more intrigued with what his role would be in the series (although I've read reviews by friends of future books in the series, so I guess I already know) and by the end, I think I was starting to prefer him to Joe (Joe's jealousy in relation to Mason was starting to do my head in) and I want to read future instalments in this series to see what happens next with this threesome.

I feel I have to add something about Miss Mildred! What a, erm...strong-willed old lady. That bit at the end almost had me crying with laughter.

Tin Drum by Japan

Album Favorite

"Apparently someone is writing a 33 1/3 book about this 1981 album, which is universally regarded as Japan's masterpiece. It features electric guitar sounds previously possible only for Adrian Belew; the bass is so fretless it sounds like a moaning sea mammal, the gorgeous drums are so tonal they could be marimbas, the Prophet 5 synthesizer sits quietly in the mix making squiggly noises; and sometimes a violin plays, in a manner previously heard only in Chinese opera. The lyric and visual emphasis is on modern Chinese culture (like Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) without the spy-spoof parts) but not Chinoiserie – no pentatonic xylophones – and the implication that the future is Chinese is no more threatening than Kraftwerk implying the future is German. "We're young and strong in this party, building our visions of China." "

Take me back to the park

Well I'm surprised there is a 3rd series to be honest. We are now in our world, set in the near future. The look and design is amazing along with the technology on show. Delores has gone rouge and is on her own personal mission... But is it to bring our world crashing down?
It's a confusing plot even for Westworld. It's lost something in the feel of the show now it has left the park. Still with some great scenes and great twists. It's only 8 episodes long compared to the usual 10. If you love the show you'll want to watch it, but might be better to watch it in just a few sittings to keep on track with the plot.
