Dinosawr Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yeah, you're right. So I read , like, the first two pages of the book and it was obvious that it wasn't anything like the movie. Lol, the movie was so bad, I thought it was a parody at first. Do you remeber the movie title? I have to see how bad it is for myself lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermintc Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 In the IMDb is called Stormbreaker and is from 2006. It has a rating of 5.1, which is not thaaaaaat bad. Although I didn't like it a lot, maybe I was a bit exagerated, I just thought it was silly in a funny way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahesque Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Right now I'm working hard at finishing the LOTR trilogy & the 50 Shades trilogy... bit of a quality gap between the two books :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermintc Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Right now I'm working hard at finishing the LOTR trilogy & the 50 Shades trilogy... bit of a quality gap between the two books :P I know right!!! The LOTR books are sooo good. Currently, I'm working my way through the Silmarillion (?) but it's a bit slow, complex and it has way too many footnotes/maps/family trees so it's a slow read, is still really good, like everything Tolkien's ever written <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon_nightingale Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I've just started The Night Circus - too early to say how it is but it sounds like just my sort of book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try again though. Have you guys ever read any of his unfinished works? I really like those! I reread the trilogy (and The Hobbit) every year or so, because I just love it so much.

Koralis Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm reading The Pelican Brief by John Grisham at the moment. I like to read books that have been made into films and then follow up with watching the movie. I'm often disappointed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to read books that have been made into films and then follow up with watching the movie. I'm often disappointed... Yeah, I used to do that, but I was disappointed too many times. Now, if the movie seems really good, I watch it first and then I read the book, that way while I watch it I'm not expecting it to be as good as the book :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombiiesque Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Okay, so I finally finished The Blessing Stone - once I got into it, it moved along quite a bit better but I was left with that meh feeling overall. Not a bad book by any means but I had higher hopes for it, I guess? And I'm out of viable reading material until I get to the library, so I'm re-reading Mists of Avalon. Which, I tend to re-read every few years, so I guess I'm due - I do adore that book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyvren Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm multi-reading: Joyce Carol Oates' Blonde about Marilyn Monroe is finally starting to get interesting and I'm already liking Anno Dracula (^w^) I've just finished Zombie Apocalypse which was great! It's written from different points of views (twitter, diaries, e-mail, letters etc. ) which gives it an air of authenticity, i.e. kinda scary :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahesque Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Currently I have a Statistics of Psychology book, a couple poetry texts/plays/short stories, & a whole stack of journal articles on my bedside table :P School has hit with a vengeance.
