Battlefield Earth- Wow, was this book long. It was interesting in parts and boring in others. It was way better than the movie and so different that the cover makes absolutely no sense. It follows post apocolyptic hunter/gatherer Johnny "Good-boy" Tyler as he opposes psychlon oppression. The second half of the book about the intergalactic bank no longer being solvent was especially relavent. Who would have known. This book could have easily been two and probably should have. It is much too long to really enjoy. Toward the end (last 500 pages or so), I was reading it for the sole purpous of finishing it and moving on to something else.
How to Survive a Robot Uprising- This book was more non-fiction than I would have thought. Sure it has some pretty funny lines, but it is very educational on the state of current robotics and technology that will inhabit future robots. Given recent new about man-hunting robots, this book is kinda scary. It isn't a hands down survival guide the way that the Zombie survival guide was, but it was fairly good. It is on the short side, but it was feeling kinda stretched by that point anyways. I would recommend it go on your shelf by The Zombie Survial Guide.
This volume of Sandman didn't disappoint. It was a great story with interesting characters and an interesting concept. It isn't my favorite volume, but it is still very good.
This was a very good read and is a fine example of why people love Sandman and Neil Gaiman. Gaiman has a love for mythologies and it shows very well in this book. I kept getting flash forwards of American Gods while reading this.
Two crime families struggle for control of Gotham. Harvey Dent is going after the Roman with Jim Gordon and the Batman. People keep turning up dead on holidays with the custom murder weapon and decorations for the appropriate holiday. This book has a lot of the elements of The Dark Knight movie. It is cleared that the inspiration for the movie was this graphic novel, even if this story centers on Holiday and only features the Joker and the movie is a Joker movie. I believe in Harvey Dent.
Ashli has been getting these Babymouse books from the library. They are really cute and fun. I should sue the Holms because it is clear to me that Babymouse is just an anomorphic representation of Ashli.
