Larry Elmore: Snarfquest/the Book (From Dragon Magazine, Tsr 8118) (Paperback, 1987, Random House Childrens Books, TSR Hobbies)

Review of 'Snarfquest/the Book (From Dragon Magazine, Tsr 8118)' on 'Goodreads'

Had only read a handful of strips from Dragon back in the day so I was really pleased when I got my hands on a copy. Was not disappointed. Elmore's artwork is as good as ever and Snarf is an excellent hero (not quite an antihero but he certainly doesn't fit the usual mould).

Sorry, there was just too many of his assumptions and personal views put forward as the only way to see scripture on this book. I tried really hard to get through it, but I just couldn't.

KATE BURRIDGE: WEEDS IN THE GARDEN OF WORDS: FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON THE TANGLED HISTORY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE. (Undetermined language, CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS)

Review of 'WEEDS IN THE GARDEN OF WORDS: FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON THE TANGLED HISTORY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE.' on 'Goodreads'

Fascinating book, though the one-bit-at-time presentation made it a little hard to get in to.

Review of "My Sister's Keeper" on 'Goodreads'

Watched the movie last week and decided I should read it when my wife said the ending was a bit different.

She wasn't kidding.

Very emotional book. A bit of a train wreck (you always know it's not going to have a happy ending and things go from bad to worse the whole time).

Well written, but I think she is a bit too clever with her words at time.

We have more of her books on the bookshelf and I'll read them eventually. Once I've recovered from this and read a few higher priority items.
