My Favorites: -The Order of the Phoenix. I like it just because the reader starts to discover what kind of people are working in the Ministry of Magic. Fudge is no longer this caring little Wizard...instead, he's completely paranoid and neurotic. I also really liked the character of Umbridge...

"The Regulators" was one of my favorite books for a while. I bought it thinking it was a sequel of some sort to "Desperation", but came to realize that the characters were the only similarities, from what I remembered. I thought it was a great book and that Tak was at his meanest in that one...

Hmmm...I definitely must've been thinking of the wrong thing then, because I was thinking about a series of books that had been made into a short-lived show that I saw maybe once or twice. I liked it, but since it didn't last for very long, I never heard much more about it. I'll have to give...

I read the article and found it interesting that some of the tests that these animals are being used for aren't even mentioned. When it comes to human diseases (especially diabetes), some are continually on the rise, meaning that more animals will have to be used in those studies. Sometimes it...

Heroes is probably my favorite show on television and I can't wait until the start of the spinoff season, Heroes: Origins. I think the show is incredibly creative and Noah Bennett, Hiro, and Sylar are probably the best characters out of the entire thing for me personally. Especially...

Re: Transformers I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago and, as a fan of the Transformers since childhood, I actually thought it was really good. I think that all these movies based on comics and cartoons and whatever else should be viewed how they're meant to be...as interpretations. It...

In the tower scene in the last book, Draco was, at first, the only one up there with Dumbledore and an invisible Harry Potter. When Harry and Dumbledore hear someone running up the stairs, Dumbledore immobilizes Harry. Draco enters and, because Dumbledore had just cast a spell, had a...

I was so excited when it showed up the morning of the release date on my porch and as I was reading it, I just wanted to get to the end just to find out if good would finally conquer evil and if Harry would survive. And then, after reading the closing words, I will admit that I got a bit...

While I personally liked the content much more in 'Salem's Lot than in The Dead Zone, just because I'm more of a fan of his more horrific writings, I thought that The Dead Zone was awesome as well. The character of Johnny Smith is what made it so good for me...I really got quite attached to the...

I've actually gone to the point of looking through the horrors of the 'net for the "real" spoilers, just because it's nagging at me that the book release is so close yet I really want to find out what's happened and who's going to die. I tell myself it's just to "compare" notes with how the...

I was okay with the entire story until I got to the middle of "Hard Merchandise"...then I gave up for a while and had to come back to it later. It was a hard trilogy to follow for me, but I enjoyed the way everything came to a close in the end. And it was also a hard one for me to find as...

I've read the story many times and went to the movies to see the adaptation when it first came out, and I really wasn't a big fan of it. It's sad that with Hollywood movies, there always has to be a plot and the protagonist must usually always have a tortured past and, of course, sometimes...

I personally always suggest the Han Solo trilogy (The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, and Rebel Dawn) when I give my opinion on the best Star Wars books. Seeing him grow from childhood to seeing him in his first relationship, and even to him seeing Princess Leia for the first time...it was...

Wow...this one IS a thinker. -I really enjoyed the part when Roland and Company went up against Shardik. I don't think it was the battle itself more than just the writing and the excitement of that particular portion. The Waste Lands was just a total menagerie of strange creatures and I...

I try to finish all my games, but I got a bit behind thanks to the evil known as "college". I actually recently finished all quests in Oblivion for the 360...and it took me over a year to do so. I tend to be a bit obsessive with my RPGs, playing to the point that I complete 100% of it before I...

I definitely agree with Hoopy about The Waste Lands being the best of the bunch. I also greatly enjoyed Wizard and Glass, which is the fourth volume and, in my opinion, was almost as great as the third. I enjoyed reading it mostly because it gave us so much information as to what made Roland...

My earliest of SF memories were of the times that I used to sit and watch Star Trek with a few friends. I was never a huge fan of the actors, but I thought that the stories were excellent and even wrote nerdy little stories that put myself in their situations. And then I started watching a...

I recently picked up the Richard Bachman/Stephen King book called "Blaze". It was a great read all the way up until the final parts of the book, and then it sort of detoured, but I'm glad I read it. I've also picked up "Killobyte" by Piers Anthony and am quite enjoying it just for the fantasy...
