I didn’t want to write up an entire official review for each book as I thought I’d keep it short and sweet and didn’t feel like dedicated an individual post for each. Here are some books I’ve read recently and a quick review of each.
The Black Tattoo
By: Sam Enthoven
Summary: A demon from hell wants to awaken the creator of everything which will result in complete and utter destruction. Sam, Esme, and Charlie are pulled into the action and must choose sides to either aid or defeat the demon and decide the fate of the human race.
Review: It’s a well written and interesting read. What I found the most interesting was their take on hell and the creation and the fact that some of the names given to demons are actual names of gods from various cultures. I’d recommend it.
Buy or Borrow: Buy
Cravings
4 Stories By: Laurell K Hamilton, MaryJanice Davidson, Eileen Wilks, and Rebecca York
Review: I enjoyed the book, but was disappointed by Hamilton’s contribution. I’m not sure if the other three stories can be bought in other books, but Hamilton’s contribution can be found in one of her actual novels. The story she put in here takes up 1-3 chapters of one of her Anita Blake books. I liked the book, but if I could buy the 4 books separately and get fuller stories from each author then I’d do that instead.
Buy or Borrow: Buy
Never After
4 Stories By: Laurell K Hamilton, Yasmine Galenhorn, Marjorie M Liu, and Sharon Shinn
Review: Thsi is actually sent out with a label “Great Read Guarenteed or full Refund” which I found rather interesting. I liked it well enough that I wouldn’t bother sending it back, but I liked Cravings better.

Death of a Darklord
By: Laurell K Hamilton
Summary: In a land that seems to be cursed by evil, a group of well-doers set out to fight and destroy it. Each member learns more about themselves as the journey tests their strength and character.
Review: This is actually part of series called “Ravenloft of the Covenant” of which each book is written by a different author. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to find the other books. I love this one though and would love to see what the other books have in store for me. I would particurlarly love to see what becomes of a character named Ellaine.
Buy or Borrow: Buy!
Director: Spike Jonze
Famous Faces: Max Records, James Gandolfini, Lauren Ambrose
Plot Summary: Max is a lonely kid who feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere and thus transports himself to where the wild things are to live with the wild things as king.
My Personal Opinion: The book and movie match that the story is about Max wanting attention and love and eventually realizing he truly is loved at home. The movie didn’t really seem to go anywhere though. It was just sad and melancholy and slowly moved along until Max eventually heads back home to the relief of his mother. I do like the fact that they wanted to adapt everyone’s favorite childhood book to the big screen and I give them credit for a job well done in the visual and artistic depratment, but overall I think the movie was a dud.
Final Grade: C
Theater/Rent/Own: Go ahead and rent it if you really want to see it. Return promptly.
One test to go. I’ll post some stuff this weekend for sure. 
yaaay.
The lack of posts is due to finals week. I’ll be done by the 17th and post a new story then. Thanks for the patience everyone.
