A story about "Blankets" — 39 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I found this story to be much more poignant than I thought that it would be. The artwork took it from being melodramatic to something that I could relate to. I appreciated the honesty, especially in regards to the religious aspects that pervaded the book. Thompson restated a feeling that I have all too often about how so many Christians are ruining Christianity.

I am not sure, however, of if this book transitions ages well. I believe it may be more of a Catcher in the Rye experience, where you have to read it by a certain age or it is lost to you.

I stayed up until two in the morning to finish this book.

A story about "I Am America (And So Can You!)" — 44 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I really like the show, but I suppose that I respond more to the facial expressions and physical comedy, because I really didn’t find this book all that entertaining. I got a few chuckles out of it, but not much else. I’d rather watch the show than read this by far.

A story about "The Shining" — 45 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I was really disappointed by this movie. I didn’t find it to be frightening at all- just odd. The music in most of it simply annoyed me. It was too loud compared to the dialog. The acting was decent (little boy playing Danny Lloyd was especially good), but the Wendy character I found to be irritating.

I really feel like, with all of the buildup for this movie, I should have gotten something out of it. I’m glad that I’ve seen it now so that I know the content of all of the parodies; however, I essentially think that I wasted about two and a half hours of my life.

A story about "The Taming of the Shrew (Folger Shakespeare Library)" — 49 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

My least favorite of Shakespeare’s plays. I found a lack of substance and the characters to be flat. The story was bland to me. There were some barbs from the Bard that were amusing, but I honestly expect more from ol’ Billy.

A review of "When The Pawn..." — 1 year ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

While I found this album certainly better than her debut, “Tidal”, overall I found it a little dissapointing when I compare it to her album “Extraordinary Machiene”; however, in listening to the progression of her music, you can really tell that she developed more of her own style as she went along.

This was fairly good, and I’ll listen to it more. There were a few of the songs that I really enjoyed. The lyrics were better than on “Tidal”, and more of an expanse in style. I give it a “Worth Consuming”.

A review of "Tidal" — 1 year ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I had really enjoyed her “Extraordinary Machine” album, and I had been looking forward to this, but it was just a let-down really. Many of the songs were very similar to eachother, and it just didn’t get to me. There really weren’t any memorable lyrics. It was almost all angry, angsty relationship drama. There was no joy, and I think that that let me down. All in all, if this was the first album that I heard of hers, I probably would not have listened to any of her other music. “Extraordinary Machiene” is much more my cup of tea.

Why I recommend "Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!" — 1 year ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I was a little dissapointed with the first three tracks. I had never heard them before, and I was thinking “Is this all that there is?”. It’s definately techno-pop. All mechanical, no guitar. The lyrics are very simple (“In your car”? I could predict that.) I nwas determinede to listen the whole way through though. I started warming up to them, and then the 6th track just blew me away. I’ve since listened to the CD again in whole, and knowing what to expect has increase my like a bit for the first couple of tracks. After you get to the 4th track or so though, it has always been smooth sailing for me.

A review of "We Are Pilots" — 1 year ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

While this CD had three or four track that I really liked, the rest were just ho-hum, or I didn’t like them at all. Borrow a friend’s copy if you want to listen to it. It’s not worth your $14 or so.

A review of "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" — 1 year ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I enjoyed this book, however, I must say that I was a little dissapointed too.

So many people have told me that “Lamb” is such an excellecent book, and while I did laugh a few times, it wasn’t as good as I had been hoping.

I think that the premise was good, and I enjoyed how it was carried out, but, in all actuallity, I’m probably not going remember this book. It didn’t change my views on anything. It didn’t impart any new knowledge. It didn’t make me think very much. While it was an enjoyable read, I honestly don’t think it was worth all 460-some pages.

It was nice, it was light, it was amusing, but it didn’t live up to what I had hoped in ways of humor, nor did it really give me something to think about.

A good book, but not what I would call a great book.

A review of "Lullaby" — 1 year ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

The thing about Chuck Palahniuk’s books is that once you’ve read one, you’ve read pretty much them all. I like his grit and the way that he writes; however, this books was nothing special out of his writing. Something about the way he writes always leaves me expecting more, and I am usually dissapointed. Why read more of his books if they are all the same thing? Come on Chuck, we need better from you!
