The First Post! :D

....A book?
That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you.
Has it got any sports in it?
Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...

Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake.
Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.


I have an obsession with talking about (and criticizing) fantasy/adventure/young adult/science fiction books, movies, and the adaptations from book to movie.  So I decided that I should perhaps be proactive about it and write my opinions down.

If you're reading this, I'm guessing you like to talk about these things too, or at least enjoy reading other people's opinions.  No matter what your motivation, thanks for dropping in!  I'll be reviewing a lot of different books and movies, and I encourage any and all people to join the discussions.

I also welcome topic ideas and other book recommendations, because there will be plenty from me.

Every once in a while I will review something that's been out for years that I think will spark a fun conversation, but mostly I will review things that I have recently read or seen in the theatres.

So enjoy, comment, and share this blog with friends.  I want it to be as diverse as possible!


Some rules before we start:

1.)  Be respectful.  I hate people on the Internet that try to be intimidating behind the screen.  Swearing is allowed, Frodo knows that I swear like a sailor.  But I don't tolerate ignorant name calling.

2.) This is an opinion blog, I want to hear yours.  You don't have to agree with me, and I like to get other people's views.
