My favorite book is... something dangerous...^^

So, I finished The Last Unicorn ^^ It was a lovely book and I'm glad I read it. The movie is actually extremely accurate. The only two semi-major things it left out were Shmendrick's backstory about his mentor and the town of Hagsgate, and neither of these things were really indispensable, they just gave a bit more depth to the story. Most of the dialog was even taken directly from the book with not a lot of changes.

I did notice that, while I found the story beautifully written it didn't have the same emotional impact on me that the movie did. Which is probably due to the slightly tighter pacing of the movie, especially the end. The movie, of course, pretty much ended immediately after the most dramatic and emotional part of the story, while the book continued on to wrap things up more. This isn't a bad thing, just a difference between books and movies.

The other thing I noticed in reading the story is that the two main characters, the Unicorn and Shmendrick, actually aren't that likable, lol. Again, nothing that wasn't in the movie, just more noticeable (especially with Shmendrick) in the book.

Overall it was really good and if you like fairytales, unicorns or the animated movie I highly recommend it ^^

I loved the movie when I was young and was so happy a few years back when it came out on DVD. I was worried that it would be one of those things that lost it magic once you "grew up" but the first time I watched it as an adult I still loved it. And still blubbered like a baby at the end, lol.

Good afternoon everyone! :)

I'm doing okay! Got the whole weekend ahead of me. I plan to make cookies tomorrow too. <3 I'll take pics of the process and put them on my blog for you since I never did get you recipes. IM SORRY!

This is a bit off-topic but I recently finished Dragon Age 2 and I found its storytelling to be better than most authors ever manage...all interactive!

O////O im reading "if you dare" atm.

Dragon Age, Dragon Age. I keep hearing about it. I'll have to check it out. Which reminds me, I tried that mmo Pie. The controls are whack otherwise it's so cute!

What's that about, Kei? I just finished The Monk last night and started Mathilda and then I need to read the Cenci. I also need to read freaking Paradise Lost. I tried to treadmill it up last night and listen while I did that but my recording was too low. I'll try it again today since Alan re-encoded the files.

Good evening everyone!

Hey Kira! How's it going?

I'm just dandy, getting ready to head out soon.
Thanks for asking.
How about you two??
