In Which I Post Some Long-Delayed Reviews

[doctorray]

I'm back to the grind after Spring Break, which isn't really so bad, dear reader.  But I have been remiss in providing the latest evaluations on recent books, a category I am now expanding to movies, classes, and other entertainment experiences.  I hope you don't mind.

Spring break was not only about a social whirl - although I thoroughly enjoyed

I thought the last line from the movie version of Shutter Island took the story and theme to another level. It's not in the book. But it should have been.

It's a valid point - I didn't dislike the ending, but I did think that it 'hero-ized' Laedis/Daniels in a way that the book didn't - it struck me as a somewhat Hollywood decision. Lehane's original ending wasn't as ennobling, which I think I liked a bit better. But I came to Shutter Island through the mean streets of noir fiction...

I'd say I'm green with envy, but I have the feeling I'd need to brush up my Goblin then...!

I still have plans to pressure Christian to run a goblins game in his "Last Days" universe at some point after WyrdCon is over. Since we have access to a wonderful venue, I think that's a big incentive...

This is really something new. I didn't know there are classes for medieval fighting. Thanks for sharing this info and more power to your sword-fighting skills.
