Book Rating

It's certainly not a small book by any means, but surprisingly none of those 992 pages really felt like they drew on longer than they needed to. I will say Felurian's bit made me mildly uncomfortable from time to time though, but Kvothe's time in Adem made up for it. I will say if you're not looking for 992 pages of quality fantasy, it may not be the book for you, but if you're up for adventure with a splash of drama and pain then it'll be a fun, but long, read.

The Lament Configuration, that little box of pain and misfortune along with the cenobites had me at hello back in the day when this was released as it satisfied my horror fix and was certified X rated, which could be seen as a little heavy handed nowadays.
This film explores many subjects including sadism and sex and Clive Barker interweaves these wonderfully with gore and creepiness and pinhead the leader of the cenobites became a cult character that helped spawn many sequels, although I hear they never reach the heights of this classic.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Maid Mary Anne (The Baby-Sitters Club, #66) in Books

Dec 31, 2019

Mary Anne only stops being a doormat because she fears the wrath of K. Ron Hubbard. Check.

An older woman, who presumably has been living by herself for quite a while, breaks her ankle and just...lays around waiting for someone to hear her yelling? I'm going to pretend that she just passed out from the pain, woke up and figured she'd call out before moving her ass so a neighboring cat wouldn't eat her face.

The sexism b-plot with Nicky and Buddy was kinda nice, though.
