Book Rating
I really enjoyed this book,I have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I sont usually do, but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because I enjoyed the story line and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood inasmuch as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role in the film. My only criticism would he that it perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series, I think 563 pages is a bit too long.

I got this from PlayStation Plus and I like it more than the first game. It's a few things that make me like it more:

1: It has a story mode that you don't need a PS Plus account to play.
2: You can upgrade individual player types instead of having to upgrade as a player to unlock improvements.

It has several new levels and player types and I'll admit I love to play this game though it annoys me at times when you roll out of the way and they still manage to shoot and kill you when they seem to be around a corner in the distance.
  
This book is now on my list of favorite Civil war era books!!
I loved how Shannon McNear explained both sides of the war and her descriptions of events were so realistic. I really enjoyed reading about these characters, Shannon McNear brought them to life and made me invested in their outcomes right from the start. I can not more highly recommend reading a book! Its full of adventure, survival, compassion, love... It has so much to offer.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the beautifully crafted characters, the inspiring story-line, and for the great description Shannon McNear gave of both sides in the war.

Movie Favorite

"Blade Runner is also one of my favorites. I love film noir movies, and that was just a new way of doing it. Set in the future, made up worlds. It’s just a straight up great movie; everything fell into place, which is just rare for things to happen that way. How everything came together, the artistry that went into it, the design, the music, and how resilient the story is, how you can just keep making new versions of it, and they all still kind of work. [laughs] When you can just keep remaking the same movie with the same footage and just kind of tweak it a little bit…"

Love the amount of impact your decisions have on the game. (1 more)
Wuld Wasteland is a great perk!
Very glitch heavy. (0 more)
Good, but glitchy
I had to start this game again because I ran into a big glitch that stopped me completing the main story.
Sadly, this was not the only glitch I encountered.
The issue was Obsidian were given a very short amount of time to make the game, considering that, it is still a great game.
While the compleationist in me is sad I was unable to do all the challenges I wanted, it was still brilliant!
Now to resist starting again and siding with the legion.

"Let’s see, number two… see I don’t know what order to put these in, but let’s have [laughs] — it’s going to be a really weird top five — Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s just so good. It’s got a bit of everything: brilliant characterization, great songs; just beautifully shot. A warm, cozy, nice feeling, I think is what that film is. And Michael Caine is good. I think it’s great the way they used a lot of the different Muppet characters in the story, and they kind of fit with the characters — you know, you’ve got the old guys as the ghosts; it just all worked so well. Beautifully done. Love it."
