short reviews

[footstep]

I've always heard how good this series is, but I never thought I'd like it for some reason (idk). Well...I do. Unfortunately only 13 books have been translated so far. The writing is pretty poetic despite the japanese to english translation, and it's much better than other translations I've read. There's an element of chauvinism, but I am forgiving of that in fiction because it's fantasy.



I felt this book was pretty blah compared to the rest of Gregory's books. There is a nice little romance tucked in there, but it's not the focus of the story, which is more on political maneuvering and war.

Movies!
She's Out of My League--more a guys' movie, but I liked it.
Remember Me--I actually liked it, and I think critics were all so pissed off about the ending that they didn't give the rest any credit.
Clash of the Titans--so bad it's good! Like Street Fighter.
