I'm ashamed to say it's been years since I read a Michael Crichton novel, but what a way to jump back in! This book was better than I expected, somehow he managed to keep it interesting even though there wasn't a lot of action happening. The pacing was fast, although I thought the main character could have been a little more developed. All in all, this is a book I would definitely recommend.

Can seem very basic as characters all equal
Very difficult to play with small groups
This was one of the go to games of my masters. It was enjoyable but ends with a lot of shouting. It can seem very basic if you have played other similar games like werewolf, mafia, and avalon

I quite enjoyed this book - it was quite exciting and it turned into quite a tangled web of awesomeness! There was a lot of drug use in the book - not that drug use is a huge deal, but sometimes I was like, wow. There was some darker parts of the book - some parts that were unexpected and I liked that.

I did not expect it to turn out the way that it did!

Now I know that Life of Pi was a major motion picture and got a lot of awards for acting. I didn't watch the full movie at the time, just a couple of clips when I was flying. At the time, it did not seem in the slight bit interesting and it definitely was not my cup of tea.

I like the storyline from this film the downside of it is that they cut out ethan's aunts that were mention alot in the book and also the cat they had but went feral also some the characters charactisics were changed from book to film I think if these changes were not made then a lot fans alike would have enjoyed it more than they did

Is there a way to turn on all notifications on a given subject, like Tabletop games, I'd love to be notified whenever someone reviews things, right now I only get to see it in my feed if I folow them, I'm missing out on a lot of great reviews, which would let me know I would want to follow them.

  Maybe when I click on Tabletop as a catagory I could see recent activity.

Dark Comedy
I found this movie to be absolutely hilarious. It is dark humor, and not the type of humor for everyone. However, a group of kids in the wilderness trying to save their friend along the way with crazy and unexpected twists and turns proves to be a hilarious match. This movie does contain a lot of sexual comedy, so if that's not your thing, you will probably hate this movie.

Overall, and interesting and entertaining film based on the true story of the youngest hustler/drug dealer/FBI Informant. Sadly, the trailers were better than the film. There were a lot of other random actor that didn't actually do much for the story, i.e. Jennifer Jason Leigh. Matthew McConaughey's part was smaller than advertised, I imagine he was used to sell the film, heck, it got me in the seat.

Book 3 in the Tokyo Ghoul series has a lot of action, drama, and information packed into it. Kaneki continues to work at the cafe with Touka, and she also begins to train him in martial arts. Hinata's life sees some major changes, and she's forced to deal with much unpleasantness at a young age, since the ghoul investigators are after her when they recognize her that her family is made up of ghouls.

Met the hype
Loved this book, it had a lot of hype around it and I had been worried about it living up to it. I read it without knowing what the book covered and was very touched. The book hits you emotionally and you find yourself hoping she rights the wrongs that have happened to her the best she can and hoping the people pay for the awful things they have done.
