Riding on the current 'band of the moment' hype that has been the norm for U.K. bands that 'cross the pond' for as long as I can remember----- the Arctic Monkeys are a decent band (forgiving what could be one of the stupidest names I have come across) with a few catchy tunes, but there is nothing to really make them stand out amongst a very strong wave of newer acts.  The singles will invite a few repeated listens and may find their way onto a compilation disc/MP3 player while the album itself will be filed in the collection.  I hope that these guys enjoy the ride------(whatever happened to "Ride" anyway....)

I anticipated getting this game for a very long time. I had waited since the first preview when they released the teaser trailer, and my imagination just went wild. This game was almost better than what I anticipated and the graphics were great too! I won't spoil the story at all but sadly there wasn't as much lightning that I was hoping for. Some of the trophies are pretty hard too. The ending though was very dark, and kind of a killjoy. I'm pretty sure they are making DLC gameplay to continue the story.

... I wish those in charge would have been a little forth coming about the genre of the book. A very fast read. Started it this morning and finished it this evening. I kept my interest during the whole read. 'Pixel of Ink' had the book listed on their site. The premise sounded interesting, downloaded a sample, got hooked and ordered the book. Still I feel a little deceived; not that I have anything against it, I have to admit, I would have hesitated reading the book if I knew what type of book it was.

I just love Tales...

What a nice suprise to catch up with old friend and meet new ones along the way.  Although I very much ejoy Tales I was a little dissapointed in this one.  A nice read nonetheless!

A little slow at times....I'm a late comer to this series, will most likely try the next in the set.

I love Austen fan fiction, and have read way more than my fair share of it, in addition to loving the original that spawned it all...P & P. I thought the premise of this one to be interesting...a rival, etc., except that the rival doesn't really make a substantial difference, although it does play out well in Darcy's mind.

I thought, again, that things started well, and had hoped that once all was said and done that they would be married soon. I didn't expect Lizzy to get all bent out of shape about marriage, etc., and prolong it until nearly the end of the novel so that once again she and Darcy could engage in premarital sex! I don't know why I'm so supremely hung up on this issue, except that I absolutely feel that Darcy and Lizzy would not ever do that!

So, while this novel was slightly better than By Force of Instinct, I'm disappointed that I bought them together, and thus, read two in a row that were mildly unsatisfying.

But, it has clarified which of Reynolds text I appreciate most, and I think I can safely say The Last Man in the World is my favorite.

But this one came out of nowhere.
I just recently discovered this series and loved the characters so much that I have bought them all and am reading them in order.  This one, however, felt more brutal than the others, and incomplete.  I loved reading about the sea creatures (and have been to the aquarium many times) and loved it as a setting for this book.  It's always fun to read about places you know and this one did not disappoint.
I missed the other main characters who did not make much of an appearance in this book.  I couldn't stand Marty (which was probably the point) and reading about her was just unpleasant.
I had a hard time reading about the things that happened to the children. Without including spoilers, some of the scenarios involving the kids bothered me and I think were unnecessary to the culmination of the story line.
I enjoyed the book, but came away needing more information.

It was fine.
But a bit of a letdown compared to all other Monter Hunter novels.
The story was in keeping with what Larry Correia has already written in the series. You get the characters, Owen, Earl, Molly, the last dragon, etc... but they don't really seem to be there. You get introduced to other characters, too... but you only get to spend a few time with each of them and they feel like they only have two dimensions. You revisit some old friends, but they get to be there as a reminders... so they don't seem forgotten That's all. A token presence.

I get the author maybe wanted to write this story and give Owen a new role in it, with new responsabilities and challenges, all written through a different pace but... what that left me with was tasting something rushed and incomplete. Maybe it was a necessary process until we get into the real meat, next time. I wouldn't know. And I wouldn't presume on what Correia has in stock for us.

Don't get me wrong, everything is there to make it a good book. Well written, humor, guns and geeks, a sound story, etc... but I didn't get hooked up like with all the other tomes. I'm sure the next in the series will kick ass and won't stop reading though, and so should you!

Special mention for the Big Vilain. Asag rocks and I definitely want to know more!

I like this story, but it wasn't quite like the first one.  I missed hearing about when Ellie discovered she was pregnant and how Gage responded.  This is such a big moment in anyone's life, and we didn't get to hear anything about it.

I felt it was rushed, the story trying to get all tied up and in doing so lots got missed.

Worth the read though.

The first half of the novel is a bit slow; after reading that characters in the graphic novels and television show (Rick, Glenn, and Michonne) were going to be featured, I was a little underwhelmed at Lilly's reappearance. I only vaguely remember her story from the second novel, which was fairly lackluster with its flagrant use of ridiculous foreshadowing. However, despite a few eye roll moments between her and her new beau, Austin (I think that's his name), her story in this novel... was okay.

The second half of the novel was much better. I was literally on the edge of my seat. The scenes featuring The Governor and Michonne were electrifying -- possibly even the best moments in the series.

Don't get me wrong; literary masterpiece this is not. But fans of the franchise will likely be pleased. Although I'm sure they'd be more pleased if this was the end of the "trilogy" as planned. This is part 1 of 2 of the 3rd book in the "trilogy." Which equals a total of 4 books. Which, sadly, isn't a trilogy.

I am sad to say, this is not my new favorite album. I enjoy it, but unlike the previous three albums, I was only "grabbed" by a couple songs on this one. I enjoy the sound and variety, but a couple tracks felt a little bland for Seether and the lyrics are just a little repetitive from song to song. Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoyed the album, but I've been in LOVE with the last three, so it was just a little disappointing that their new direction wasn't one I'm crazy about. I still eagerly await more albums and I'm sure more songs will grow on me as time goes by. There just weren't a lot of chills given this time or flat out audiogasms like in previous works.

...But I am, however, a big fan of actor Shiloh Strong.  Thanks for bringing him back from obscurity.  He's still swoonworthy after all these years!

But seriously, the series is actually really good.  It's got a lot of action, the acting is pretty good, and the FX are impressive. The one thing that I was unhappy about was the special features.  I had expected them to be more about the series and less about the origional mini series.  I was sorely mistaken.  They were, as it seems, also more geared towards a younger audience, which kind of made me feel like the narration was meant for a 5yr old.

Oh well, it's still a great show and I enjoyed it immensely!

I was thrilled when I stumbled across Book 5; I didn't realize it had been released. The download took way too long!.... I couldn't wait to return to the river, to rejoin the moment-to-moment survival with Zed, Murphy, and company.
Complaint and praise...... the book was way too short. I feel like the totality of these pages were half a book at best. I felt like I had just gotten my teeth back into the saga when I was swiping the last few pages. Bummer. Mr. Adair's writing, however, or perhaps his choice of editors, has improved exponentially. This book in particular, within the series, stands as testimony to this improvement. Mr. Adair's pages had been thick with grammar and word choice issues (the extreme overuse of "that" had been most maddening!). That that has changed means that this series has become that much more enjoyable to read, and that's pertaining to that compliment that I mentioned earlier. ;)
Great concept, engaging story, a fun, fast-paced ride, edge-of-seat moments, loads of humor, fantastic, rich characters and an epic journey of sorts lends to the success of this series. I can't wait for #6!!

As a late guest to the Anjunabeats party, I am going through the albums quickly, and somehow I overlooked this one. I suppose that a couple of distracted listening didn't catch my attention the way some of the other albums did, but I am writing this to emphatically express how stupid I was, and how good this album is. I am just in complete awe.
