Dragons of Autumn Twilight: The Mockening! (Prologue-Chapter 1)
Damn, I read this book when I was about thirteen. At the time, I thought it was a fairly standard but inoffensive fantasy. I've been assured it gets much better, so I've come back for another stab at Dragonlance. Well, folks, I damn well hope it gets better, because four chapters in, this is some of the silliest stuff I've ever seen ( Read more... ) -
The Deathly Hallows movie split
Fantastic freaking news, this - there's no way they could do the entire book justice in a two-and-a-half-hour time span.

My Deathly Hallows reactions, chapter-by-chapter
Still can't see what that is around Harry's neck, but if it's the fake locket, the real one must be blingtastically huge.
The blurb… well, the US version, at least, doesn't say much beyond "Behold! The Seventh Book". Is it that anything they say would be a spoiler? Or are they just phoning it in as they initially did for OotP, but with less ( Read more... ) -
Shiny sevens! Must be prediction time!
First off, yes, this date was a missed opportunity of massive numerology and nose-thumbing for all. That nose-thumbing bit is an upside, may I add, not a downside. If the Brits are going to start postponing things on account of propriety, they'd have to start with Christmas. (Luckily, I'm fairly sure they're cooler than that and it really was ( Read more... ) -
