oryx and crake

Oryx and crake was not the worst book I have read. But I expected a little more when I read the back of the book it sounded really promising. The first quarter of the book is nothing but reminiscing of a past long ago. This was really annoying for a very long time I kept wanting to get past that part. Just back and forth back and forth. I kept really wanting to know what is going on in the present. Because there seemed to be some sort of catastrophe. And snowman or once known as jimmy seemed to be one of the last originals. Who seemed to be some sort of spectacle or some sort of exotic animal. When the book would rewind you got a sense there was a lot of genetic modification going on which meant that people were sick and needing things like fresh grown organs from something called a pigoon. The post apocalyptic world the novel is set in is fantastic and wild world. The book gives up no details easily its like watching lost. You painstakingly have to read to get any details out of the book. And even then almost nothing is reveled. But it is this that make the book very strong. One thing that intrigued me is how crake formed his own society. Of nieve people making them live how he feels society should live. And when oryx enters the picture things take a weird turn. Jimmy or should I say snowman has an unhealthy obsession with her being with her is never enough. He wants to know all these details about her old life. Despite the fact that oryx tells him it means nothing. That she did what she had to and does not consider to many things bad. After all she is still alive and thats all that is important.

hitch hikers guide to the galaxy

The audio Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy was crazy. I had a really hard time picking out all the voices but it was fun to listen to it was really funny at times and I had really hard time taking it serious. My first introduction to the series was the american movie some time in the 2000's but I really enjoyed that so this was a treat and I was just that. But like I said I couldn't really pick out the different voices and a lot of time I couldn't figure out what was going on. They did a lot of talking and I could not figure out what scenario was playing out. Not that I probably could have given the fact that there were images to the sound. Because I have never read the book. So I am more than aware that the movie that I saw in the 2000's was cut up into pieces so while I was listening I only had a rough idea. So I would be listening hear something I recognized from the movie and get really into it. But I think the book and audio is way better there is so much more it is way juicier and marvin was so much cooler. He had way more personality. And I love in the audio how they really go out of the way to neglect him. And how they even forgot him on magrathia. I really enjoyed how spread out everything is. Everything is a giant adventure which is really nice it really is completley different from the hollywood movie. I really home they make a better more accurate one more like the book and lees like sparknotes. Although the one thing I did like about the hollywood movie is alan rickman he was entertaining.

the golden compass

The book is definitely an interesting on and I know I often start these things just like this but I am serious this book is definitely an interesting one. The book starts off with the girl lyra and this floating object that symbolizes her soul called pantalaimon. I know how interesting thats exactly what I said. She decides to go off on a wild chase to get her best friend back and the kids are not very old but the author hints at their fondness for each other for sex way down the line. But goes with a woman named Mrs. Coulter instead so much for roger or is it.

serenity

Ooooh I loved serenity. I saw it twice in theaters when it first came out. I really loved the show it came from firefly. Oddly enough I saw serenity before I saw firefly but since I saw serenity I have seen the entire show twice. What I enjoyed about the movie the first time I saw it was the fact that it seemed that because of it being a movie they got big budget and super sized everything. Which was really nice. But what kinda throws me off is the technology its more futuristic. But like I said I did not mind at all. What was really nice about the show firefly is that it was a mixture of old west with space. And I would have to say it was an original idea and I have never seen a show like it. What was really cool about the movie serenity was that you finally got to see the reavers. In the show they mentioned them a lot and you got to see a guy become one but you didnt get to see them. But I was curious as crazy and demented as they are how are they capable of piloting a ship and why did they never attack their own. In the movie they introduce a new character named Mr. Universe and we even see a new bad guy who had this amazing elegance to him which was really nice but you could tell he he would do whatever it took to get the job done but he was so graceful that made him so cool. I could not believe they killed the preacher he had a hidden past that I wish they would have explained. Also I could not believe they killed wash I mean wow, who could have foreseen that.

brother from another planet

What an interesting movie right off the bat. To be honest I thought It would be more alien Sci Fi. But it was no big deal see it was the opening that through me off. The movie raises a lot of questions at the end. Like why cant he talk and the other group of black people at the end were they alien can they talk because they didn't and if they cant why cant black people talk on their planet, where is he from were those black people alien because those two white guys were afraid of them and they were not afraid of those humans in the bar. And what the hell happened to them did they self destruct. And why was the main character running from them. At one point in the movie he motions to a photograph of a runaway slave and says thats him are their slaves on his home world is he a slave. The movie is pretty quite not a lot of drama takes place during it. Which is why I had it on in the back ground and would follow in and out of it. What bugs me the most is why he never talks. The movie explains absolutely nothing which is kind of nice not to have all of the answers. To be just thrown into the whole of everything. But its is also frustrating and you never really figure out what his mission here is he just goes about. With no particular motive. Which definitely sets this movie apart. I dont know I myself just was curious to why he was doing anything like all the spying, all the drug reckon all of the fixing. He is just there but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. There are no answers, only questions more and more questions.

snow crash

I really enjoyed snow crash it was a really good book but the book was so jumbled and hectic. Which seems to be the case of most sci fi books. But this book was slightly different because I could just find entire pages to skip because of it sheer mess of words. And because of so much confusion it wasn't till a quarter of the way through the book that I noticed time wasn't linear which also might add to the mass gobbledygook. I could not get into the characters very much because of all the switching and hoping around. But if I had to pick a character to follow around it would be Hiro Protagonist he seemed the most interesting. But he never hung around and when it did get to him I couldnt tell in what time place the story took part in and for the love god why all the jumping around. But Y.T. Was a close second she was really interesting as well I especially enjoyed it when the two were working together. The book should have just focused on just that. So of the concepts the book was trying to push were a little diluted to be honest the books biggest problem was the fact that it was all of the place in more than one way.

empire star

I am sad to say I did not enjoy the book from the moment I read the book. And thus because of it I could not get very far. Which was a shame because I really enjoyed Babel 17. that was a great read truly filling. I immediately did not care for the way comet joe talked. I could not stand it. And much like babel 17 the book flung you around with out much care. This too was also a pain in the ass.
