Well, I quite liked the first book. The second NSM, and the third I haven't read, given the reviews I've seen. But I'd enjoy seeing the movie, of the first one. Plus it sounds like they got a good cast.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.
Buffy ,'Beneath You'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Yeah, not wanting to be Mockingjay'ed, I've already decided not to read any of them.

Hah. I feel like ALL the YAs have this "Must be a trilogy!!" thing going on, and it irks. There are some that would be so much better as stand-alones (...though I get that marketing-wise that's not as worth it), or at most with a sequel.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I would totally see the movie. I suspect it will translate very well to film.

I just read "where'd you go Bernadette", which I can't decide if I liked. Maybe it was just overhyped. It had some cute very seattle things. But the plot was...odd? Confusing? Something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, you guys weren't kidding about Allegiant. That was terrible.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think I liked the mixture of styles and stuff more than the story, Meara. It was cute, but I do sort of not like that, once you decide you've written a comic novel, you can throw the kitchen sink in too, because it's wacky and it doesn't have to make sense. The best stand-up does.
