Review: Moongazer

Okay, been putting this off more than just not getting around to it.

Like the picture/book cover says, this book is by Marianne Mancusi [(main site) (blog)].

This just happened to be a random book that I picked up at some store on vacation along with another book. I thought it would be just another one of those books that I wouldn't get past the first chapter let alone the first couple pages.

It turned out, I actually liked it, and ended up reading it till I was done with it. While I started getting toward the end, it became a typical, a I-know-what's-going-to-happen ending, I still liked it anyway. Btw the epilogue was cliche, but okay I guess.

The rest of the book was entertaining and I couldn't stop reading till I got to the next chapter so I could pause. . .and then read some more.

The story wasn't a rare/unique (dare I say original) but it wasn't common either. Though like everything that's created the author put some of her own twist's into it. I liked that.

Another thing, I'm not a romancy kinda person but there is an exception to every rule sometimes. This book was one of those exceptions. And it's based in a futuristic setting, so that wasn't so bad either :)

Even if some of the chapter's and got long winded, each book has it's own nays and yays but this one just happened to have more yays. Not a necessary 'buy' but a book I recommend reading if you're into book's like this. Or if you're like me; a person who doesn't care what they read.

I give it a 3.5 to 4 out of 5 stars.

Egyptian Goddess

Haven't done a quiz in a while. So here's an interseting one.

Renen

Not much can be found on the Egyptian Goddess Renen. She was a Goddess of great mystery and not worshipped widely in Egypt, or anywhere for that matter. She had great importance, though. She was the Goddess of serpents, mainly the Egyptian Asp, and of the Dawn and Dusk, and had the power to control the day-and-moon-light.

2010 Nissan Nismo

Okay. I'm not much of a 'white car/truck' fan, never have been, but when I was on the homepage of Autoblog and saw the new 370Z Nissan Nismo, I couldn't help but gap. Also, I'm not much of a 'Nissan' person either but damn. That thing is hot.

B/c I'll admit I'm not increduably vehichel savvy as I wish I was, I just got by what people who do.

But...yeah. Accordingly, the Nismo isn't much of a car than it is of it's looks. Hard handling, serious road noise, (apparently you're seating almost over the exhaust pipe...wth?). Simply put. This car isn't a regular down the road driving car -it's a sports car and isn't satisfied easily.

Anyway, while this car, performance wise, isn't given much on autoblog, it's a freaking nice car regardless.

It may have cloth seats, that can be easily replaced ;)

Review: Maximum Ride - The Final Warning

It's not everyday I find a book series that I like and actually want to go and find the next installment and read it. But the Maximum Ride series has been one of the few. The Final Warning is the fourth book in the line of books by James Patterson. Obviously I've read the other books, but The Final Warning is the one I own and the most recent I've read since kicking life back into this blog.

Anyway.

For those whom are new the series here's a bases of it.

It's about six kids, Maximum(Max), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and Gasman(Gazzy) and later, a dog named Total. They are not like you and I. They experiment's. They are genetically engineered. Their DNA was altered before birth with avian(bird) DNA. So they have wings, sprouting from their backs. They also have lighter masses, larger lungs and muscels and hollow bird-like bones. Through out the series, they are on the run, first from the School's agents called Erasers and later several other people and companies that want them for whatever reason.

Max is usually the center focus and the box are usually told from her point-of-view.

That's without giving anything else away. At first I was reluctant to pick up the first book; The Angel Experiment but I later did. I quickly got through the books. Though it took me longer to read fourth book b/c I was reading another book at the time and busy with other stuff.

So, even if it sound stupid or something, pick it up anyway and give it a try. You have a 50/50 chance you'll like/not like it. You'll like it though ;)

So on to the review. btw it'll have spoilers most likely. You were warned.

I love the series but this one was different and honestly I really can't think of any good things besides that, yeah, I liked reading it. It was shorter and far more rushed and just seemed. . .eh, not like the passed works. Now, I'm not saying the book wasn't good, I just found it far different from the previous books. And depsite likeing the book, this one makes me not like Max more.

Yes! I don't like the main character! She has her pros and cons but I can't look over the fact that she's Mary-sue.

Several of the characters got more abilites in this one too. . .I still don't get that part either. The bird-kids were genetically engineered not dropped in a container of toxic waist or something. While I can understand Gazzy getting his ability as more logical but Angel's ability to nearly completely morph into something else not so much. While convenient, I just don't get it.

Throughout the whole book, Total was my favorite part/character. I love his personality and that fact that he's a small scottie-mutt who just so happens to talk.

To me this book is more of a filler without much meaning except draw a ending behind 'save the world'.

So I give it a flat B.

And that's all I got. Questions? Ask away! Discuss? Love too :)

Disney Take's Marvel for 4 Billion

From what I can tell, since it was let out, that the news had been spreading like wildfire. From what I can tell, it was completely by surprise i.e no one suspected this move from either companies. This fact alone is a great feet considering how easily leaks can seep out, whether it be the Internet world or the real world. And I'm sure something like this has been planning and going on for some time yet.

This move will give Disney rights to the Marvel's 5 thousand some characters. Also in the furture it will bring quality branded content to people whom are fans of Marvel.

Some of Marvel's character's, which are going to be getting movies in the future or sequals to previous movies. Such as Iron Man II coming out next summer. With following movies such as Thor, Avengers just to name one or two.

From reading other articles, one good aspect from this is that in the past Disney while yes, some guys like it, in truth it has focused more on girls, princesses and the like. Though Toy Story and Car's has been a good ditch effort if I may say.
