Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2544 KP) rated Spy School (Spy School #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Ben is delighted when the CIA asks him to join an elite spy school. But when his life is endangered within hours of arriving on campus, he begins to rethink things. Can he stay alive long enough to find out who wants to kill him? Yes, the book is aimed at kids, but I had a blast reading it. The story moved quickly with some good twists, and I really liked Ben.

The weird sex scenes.

Let's be real here ... American Pie is still the best for raunchy humor. Everything beyond that falls short in comparison. And when they cast people who can't act well, it makes even the good parts bad. If you like typical frat humor, helicopter parenting, and mediocre plot lines .. this might be right up your alley. I gave it five out of ten but that's being gracious. I could have gone my whole life without seeing this film and that would be perfectly fine.

Jay Z recommended The Celestine Prophecy (Celestine Prophecy, #1) in Books (curated)

"This is the other book I live by. It's fiction—a guy travels to find a secret book that has a series of principles. The story is a metaphor for life: I could go left or right, I could be stuck, or I could keep advancing. Some people are happy where they are. I tried to hire a guy once, and I said, "Don't you have ambition to be bigger?" And he said, "No, I'm good." I had to respect that, but for me that was the wrong relationship."

Anders Holm recommended Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest in Music (curated)

"[One of my favorite tracks is] ‘Clap Your Hands’ and I don’t know what it’s called but they sampled Biz on it, which I can’t remember, but it’s a record about trying to party out. ‘Yeah, I know it looks pathetic/Ali Shaheed Muhammad got me doing calisthenics.’ ‘The Chase Part II’—that’s my other one where I can just turn it on and I don’t care if I got 50 people at my house partying or I am just doing the dishes, it just sets the tone like, ‘Yeah man, life is good.’"
