I am Number Four

Posted by SamanthaB | Closed | May 31st, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants, Literature, Movies


About a month ago I listened to the audio book of I am Number Four, and I rented the movie last night. Usually I don’t like to read a book and watch the movie so close together, but I did this time for comparison purposes. Let’s just say I feel like this movie should have been marketed as ‘loosely based on the book’.

The short rundown of both the book and the movie is this: Teenage alien boy fled from his planet with a guardian and eight other kids when he was little. Now they all live on earth, but not together, and they’ve been hiding from the Mogadorians, who are trying to kill them.  They have to be killed in order, though they don’t explain why in the movie. John Smith is number four, and he is next in line to be killed.

The Guild: Graphic Novel Review

Posted by Winter Is Coming | Closed | May 19th, 2011 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants


If you’ve seen the popular web series The Guild, about a group of on-line gamers dealing with issues both in-game and offline, then you’ll enjoy this graphic novel prequel. Originally released as a three-issue miniseries by Dark Horse Comics, the graphic novel comes with a few extras, and the story of Cyd Sherman’s life before on-line gaming is more dramatic than comedic.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Posted by SamanthaB | 2 | May 17th, 2011 | Posted in Daily Rants, Literature


I love finding a great series of books to read after the last one has been published. That is what happened to  me with The Hunger Games trilogy. My friend told me I had to read it, and since I listen to her when it comes to books, I did.

The basic premise of the series is our world in an undefined future where everything has gone to Hell. With one central government holding control in an iron grip from the Capitol, each of the 12 districts must send one randomly selected boy and girl 12 or older for a televised fight to the death. And everyone is required to watch this on TV.
