'Serenity'
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."
I left it with the feeling that it would have been better if you'd written it.
If you're serious, I'm seriously touched.
Another thing that pisses me off is that I have this superhero book idea...but now I'm afraid it'll get compared to SIWBI. And that would suck like Dr. Vaccuum's Ultra Suck Device of Doom.
I thought it was worth reading, but I wanted more. I guess if you choose to have your characters be super villains and super heroes - there should be more sense of play. and that really wasn't there. You could have done that, MM.
I read another book shortly after I read Invincible and it was much better. Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. It was for kids , but it had more character development
Go write your book(Yeah, I feel that way a lot...)
I need only two things to write my awesome, Pulitzer, Hugo, Nebula and Nobel Prize winning book:
Energy.
and
Time.
...
I may well be fucked.
No, I'm serious. I thought "MM should read this." Then I thought "MM won't like it. It comes in the right wrapper, but it doesn't have enough...enough." Then I thought "I'd like to read MM's version of this."
Go write your book.
Hmm.
...
Hm.
GWYB.
The new AIFG.
But I concur with the opinions expressed here.
GWYB
I concur
or even: WTMFA
Hil, I had that same reaction to that line in The Golden Compass. I really loved Pullman's metaphors and analogies.
Libba Bray's third Spence Academy book is out now — The Sweet Far Thing — and it's on its way to my hot little hands. I should have it in time to do nothing but read all weekend. It's over 800 pages — I guess she wanted to wrap up the story without writing a fourth book.
