Blood and Bone?

Have you been playing Plants vs Zombies? http://www.gamespot.com/plants-vs-zom...
That's a game for grunts, not groans.

I tend to avoid super popular fad games like that.
I played a bit of it a few months ago, and it's actually pretty fun. I draw the line at Angry Birds, tho. :P*groans*
Ian wrote: "MJ challenged me to write a short review with a two sentence paragraph."So um...you've got the two sentence paragraph. Where's the rest of the groanworthy short review?
What are Jon and Trav playing at? Jon wants the rest of the review and Trav can't find one at all.Why can't one par be enough?
Actually I was thinking how you always find something good to say about a book. To see a one star from you is very unusual, so it must be bad book. As I know all too well, its better to keep it very short with one star reviews.

I tried to explain why there.
Mind you, occasionally I feel like ripping into someone else's review
Ian wrote: "MJ challenged me to write a short review with a two sentence paragraph."You're right, you really need another 400 lines to make this review sing. Or bleat.
Sorry, Moony, I wasn't responding to you in post 24.I haven't read this book. If I had, I might have to bump up the rating.

This is the problem with brevity, it leaves a lot to the imagination.
Moonbutterfly wrote: "Ah - you know how easily confused I get."Even confused, it's nice to see your smile in one of my threads.
Awe, that's so sweet. As you may know, I have a bad tendency to pop-up in a thread and not read what's above. I look like an idiot most of the time but I'm comfortable with that. :) <--- For You.
My battery is dying and the power's been cut off again. The termites have eaten all the telegraph poles in the street. This is true.
Ian wrote: "OK, can I call for some one star suggestions. Maybe I should do one every five books."You did mention wanting to reread Catcher in the Rye.
I have a great idea too: The Enemy. Immature styled YA writing with no plot but zombies getting mashed up?
Aubrey wrote: "You did mention wanting to reread Catcher in the Rye."Are you defying me to agree with your review, Aubrey ;)
What if it appeals to my inner angsty emo?

Then no one can save you.
Besides, it's the only one star I can think of that isn't something I need to give another chance, or something that's awful in a boring way that you can't talk about for very long, or a book that isn't the first in a series.

Hi-five Aubrey! Aubrey, you're my new hero! 'Nother CITR hater here...though i rated it 3 just to be politic, i think. (Possibly 2, if i was being brave)
But yes, Ayn Rand would also do. She might be a better bet, i think. I have a few suggestions up my sleeve for you, Ian, just say the word.

No room for politics here. Three stars = liked it, two stars = it was ok, one star = hated it, dem's the rules :P

Reading that book makes me feel like i'm listening to fingernails scratching on a blackboard, it really does.

Have you read Keely's review of it yet? I'm confident that it'd tickle your fancy.

Funny, I've been Keely's GR friend for ages, but never noticed it before. Thank you Aubrey, that was a treat indeed! :)
ETA: Ok, granted--by many people's standards, this is a review; but to me anything under 5 000 words is not a 'true' Ian Graye review.
*evil grin*
Poor Ian. Am i troublesome? :P
