Extraordinarily above my expectations

Posted : 1 week ago on 20 August 2008 09:58 (A review of Twilight (Twilight, Book 1))

I'll be honest, I had assumed that this series was pointed more towards a female audience and thus avoided it for quite a while, I also never liked the current 'fad' of the public, so that caused me to avoid this series, don't get me wrong, I love vampire series and I loved this book, I mean, I've read Vampire Plagues and a bit of Cirque du Freak(Both excellent, less mainstream books) but finally my curiosity got the best of me and I borrowed this book. I started reading it after a few days of just staring at it, afraid of being disappointed or proven right. I open it up and Im at page 220 in one sitting... I finish it the next day... The description, even in the beginning is amazingly elaborate yet so basic and understandable, the story is confusing in certain parts, but even the beginning of it hooked me in... I read and read and read, taking in every detail, running it through my mind and trying to fit pieces together, the romance between Edward and the main character is greatly created to be elaborate like a maze and all of the other characters aren't too dull, but they aren't too great either. I liked the description of the vampires and the fact that everything described makes sense and fits together... Now, the one small violent area of this book was great and interesting, but as I had thought, since it is mostly directed towards girls, the violence was quick, but still much better then I expected.

I have to say I am going to stick with reading this series... I just gotta get the other three books from someone lol :D

Avatar is truly a GREAT TV show, 10/10!

Posted : 4 months, 2 weeks ago on 12 April 2008 12:30 (A review of Avatar: The Last Airbender)

This is a very large show, it is fun to watch and quite an interesting tale. a good concept and a very interesting plot. What more is there? its a kids show, there isn't much to say! *EDIT* All in all, this show is great, good plot, unexpected twists, good character designs and a moderately light designing of characters. Everything changes after book 2, the whole series is like... flipped upside down. I love it. I love the different branches of bending, they are all very interesting. The plot-line is just as good, creative and filled with fall down, get back up and fall down again mini plots. It also shows the conflicts of all the sides and shows the true characters of the people. My favorite character at first was Aang, he was an oddball and very interesting, he needed growing up to do, a good well balanced main character that every good TV show should have! Then, after a little while, my favorite character quickly switched over to Sokka, around the beginning of book 3, Book 3 seems to be the point where all the secondary characters get the characteristics of main characters, each one has a dramatic change in character and seems to become a better person. Sokka showed this inthe beginning, he became a better warrior, a better tactician, but he still kept his comedic flaws that make him... him. Now... my new favorite character is Zuko, hes changed quite a bit from his previous self, and I like the new him, I also like the new form of firebending, it's reall brought me out of my anti fire powers phase, Fire isn't just destruction, it is energy, life and rebirth. "The phoenix bursts into flames and thenrises from the ashes a new born chick" a fairly famous quote, though I don't know who wrote it. This quote fits Sokka, Aang, Zuko AND Original Firebending. I also like te creative creature designs, I love this show, it is just... great! The twists are good. Toph and Kitara are both good characters, they are well balanced and have their problems too, though, they don't do too many dramatic changes. Two thumbs up, five stars out of five, a perfect 10, Great job makers of Avatar! I hope you make something similar to Avatar and keep the fire going so to Speak Time To make this thread something worthy, I like the new requirement, so I am gunna make this the required length since it should fit the rules! I also love the new no enters, it makes this so much harder for the 'lazy smartasses' who just want to take up space

Wow... this game is awesome. I got glued into playing it forever! the strategy, fantasy touches, turn based war game, the action, the fight scenes, the in between scenes, the armoury, everything was just... just great! for a gaemcube game it had good graphics and it was also challenging at certain points! I recomend to anyone up for a challenge out of a game!

Zatch bell is a recommendation to all an

Who doesn't like super destructive kids who have spells that can do anything from blow up a house from a lightning blast to making arms into blades. THIS is why you don't give kids weapons! lolz. Great plot. I wish it could've stayd longer. It was funny and crazy. Zatch made me laugh a lot, it is a great show, the character cast is quite comedic, with an extra comedic relief, the horse thing!

Great show...

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 5 April 2008 11:19 (A review of Xiaolin Showdown)

I am tired, but I need to finish these last two reviews

Xiaolin showdown is a great show, the plot is good, it is quite long and the creativity is off the charts. I really wish that the show would never end and they'd keep the creative juices flowing, the character cast is great and the voices are quite funny sometimes. Plus Jack is hilarious

Awesome show!

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 5 April 2008 11:15 (A review of Megas XLR)

This show is really funny. What a teenager would do with a giant alien technology robot. Lol priceless. The plot itn't too good, but the way they have absolutely NO idea what they are doing is actually quite entertaining, and the first episode had me rolling on the ground literally. Truly a good Toonami show!

I love this show

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 5 April 2008 11:13 (A review of Monk)

That perfectionist problem he has makes him a GREAT detective, his cases are so amazing and they are kind of funny because of the way he acts during them. Lol, one of the ones that made me laugh was the supermodel one where he wanted to put a mole on her other shoulder lol! I think this show is an excellent comedic, and yet serious Police Investigations show!
