Dana (24 KP) rated The Waste Land in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I have had to read this poem for so many of my classes, and each time I read it, I learn something new about the poem itself. This time, I noticed a lot of the color allusions and how often they are used. Honestly, the first time I read this poem, I hated it, but it has started to grow on me.

I'm not sure what I was expecting out of this book, but it wasn't what I was thinking it was going to be. It was interesting, and I did like it, more or less. I liked it a lot more right after I read it, but thinking back now... It wasn't that great. I'll still definitely read the sequel, because I want to know what happens next, well, and I got the book for $3 at Barnes and Noble.

I love claymation/stop motion, and I'm definitely a Wallace and Gromit fan, so I was excited to see this. The animation was good, and the plot was entertaining. Though, I'm not sure exactly how this will go over with US audiences, because there were a lot of jokes that wouldn't have seemed funny if one wasn't familiar with football/Premier League. Tom Hiddleston's French accent was completely hilarious, and one of the best parts, next to Hobnob.

A good action film with a popular cast. Not bad SFX, but the story gets a bit weird at times?! It kinda has a X men feel to it with the characters having different special powers, but it isn't as good as those films. It maybe could have done with a few more actions scenes, there is a lot of dialogue and scenes waiting around deciding what to do next. Worth a watch, if nothing special overall.

Humor (1 more)
Fun story and acting
This movie is really enjoyable if you're looking for something ridiculous to watch. I suppose it's considered "so bad it's good", but I legitimately enjoyed many parts of it and there was a lot of genuine humor.
As a warning, there is some abuse of animals in this film which is difficult to watch. Unfortunately, it's from an era where humane treatment of animals wasn't really considered important.

Like just don't use it anymore.
I started using their website first and then dug into their app later. I really like the app, I like the service as an idea. I used to use the app a lot more but I have developed different interest and find that I am just out of the habit of logging in and using it.
If you are a book-lover, this is a great app and you will completely love it.

Contains spoilers, click to show
In the book, Clay's voice doesn't feel as animated as it did in the show. In addition, the book has a slower pace but the concepts were good. It doesn't deal with what happened to Jessica as much as it did in the book because it's exclusively from Clay's perspective so that means we don't see Jess telling her dad what happened.

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!
The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)
And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!
Definitely give this one a read!!

Platinum and Plantations are excellent additions (2 more)
Action cards are simple
Slightly extends the length of the game.
The Best Dominion Expansion
Prosperity is by far the best of the Dominion expansions, and once you have it, you will not play without it again. The addition of platinum and plantations extends the game just enough to make investing in actions worth it.
A lot of the new expansions focus on adding too much complexity. Prosperity keeps things simple.

Subpar writing (2 more)
First person point of view
Angsty/whiny characters
Seemed like a good premise
I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like it would be good, the story sounds very interesting. However, I just couldn't look past how annoyingly it was written. I read a lot of YA novels because I am a middle school teacher, but this was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't get more than halfway through.
