[Dystopia] by [Janet McNulty] is a modern version of [1984] and example of when good intentions get caught up in greed and people are too lazy to care. The characters were very well developed as well as their relationships. The whole idea struck me as what people in the old Soviet Union must have felt like. (I am a history nerd.) I feel the message is that no matter what if people are apathetic they will lose what means the most to them and sometimes standing up for what is right can be really hard.

I love recommending movies to people. One of my favorite things to do. Back in the days of managing video stores, people would come in and ask me what to watch. They would then come in a few days later and thank me for recommending good movies to them. It was very rewarding.

Sometimes, people would give you add choices, though, and it made me laugh.


One time this lady brought these two up to me and said "which one of these is better?"


Can you believe the choice? :)

A funny and informative read
As an avid reader of historical fiction, specifically medieval times, I have so many questions. How did the people live, work and travel? What did a village or town look like? Did people have toilet paper and what did they all wear?

This book answers all these questions, and much more!

If you ever want to know more about how people lived back then, this book is for you!

Okay but not amazing
I like being able to play whenever I want, but there are a lot of people who either quit or get disconnected. Maybe I don't like this as much because I don't know the people involved, or maybe I just can't get into it. I don't know. It has promise, but I wish the games were bigger. Only playing with 3-5 people and then having 1 or 2 of them quit takes the fun out of it mostly. It's still promising, but definitely not my favorite.

Broken this out a few times, good with larger groups
This is not the game for 4 people although it's possible to play that many. this game really shines when there are teams of people deciphering the clues together and arguing about it. I find 8 to be optimal, one person giving clues and three people to a side deciphering. 4 vs 4 is best. Anything less and it's just lest of an experience. I've never had more than 8 to try it out, but I'd hope its even more fun.

    Meaningful growth is hard. In part, because most of us don’t have amazing people to learn from....

"It doesn't count because it's a play, but it did the same thing to me as Jude the Obscure. It's basically a well-made play that suddenly stops. The characters, in character, just stop and talk. Most people don't realize it's even happening, but the play becomes a conversation. People went nuts back in the day when the play came out, but people today watch it and think it's just psychologized drama. They don't realize how powerful it is to stop the narrative and suddenly just discuss what should happen."
