David - proud Gleeman in Branwen's adventuring party > Recent Status Updates

"Their buckles made a jolly jingling as George Denbrough ran towards his strange death." - That could have been one of the greatest "WAIT, WHAT???" moments ever!

Now that I've uploaded "It" to my Kindle, I can even read this at night with all the lights off! Wait a second...if this book is as scary as everyone says, that might not be such a good idea...

"Someone had tried to call an elemental hate spirit, to show off at a party. Those who'd survived the carnage had failed to be impressed." - I suspect I laughed much harder at that line than I was supposed to!

Doyle is really getting on my nerves...even if it turns out he's not the one performing illegal black magic rituals, I think Chess should seriously consider FRAMING him just to get him sent away!

The metalhead in me loves that one of the characters is named "Slipknot"!

"He's rewiring his speakers so they go to eleven." - A Spinal Tap reference? NICE!!!

So far, this book is more than bizarre enough to be interesting!

Ummm...did that robot just say <spoiler>she was PREGNANT?!?</spoiler> Okay, definitely did not see THAT one coming...

Some of my GoodReading buddies have had great things to say about the Downside Ghosts series...time to experience this book for myself!

Izabel reminds me an awful lot of Molly from "Runaways"...another classic Vaughan character! :D

Happy Martin Luther King Day to all my fellow GoodReaders! Here's to a true hero, who not only worked towards a world without prejudice, but also inspired us to never give up on our dreams! :)

"You called your dog Rumfer? We're never gonna agree on a name for this kid, are we?" - Oh, BKV, I've missed you so! :)

In regards to Chapter 33 - Whoa, that was intense!!!

I want my first graphic novel of 2013 to be special...this looks like a job for Brian-K-Vaughan-Man!!!

Dammit, GoodReads is telling me I'm one book behind in the reading challenge...STOP PRESSURING ME, GOODREADS!!! :(

Love, love, love this book! Unless the last few chapters REALLY suck, "Leviathan" is going right onto my Favorites shelf once I've finished it :)

I love that fancy-boots lady boffin...and if you understood that last sentence, you are most cool!

I've enjoyed how the book features first-person narratives for both Bonnie and Lola...and now that Lola has gone completely bat-poop crazy, her thoughts are particularly fascinating!

"Midshipman Dylan Sharp, at your service!" - It's amazing how dramatic that simple statement is in the context of the story!

Hey, now that Bonnie has FINALLY stopped whining, she's actually becoming a compelling character again! Earlier in the book, she had the power to hold a car over her head, but this is the first time in a while she's been able to hold my interest!

zzzzzzzzzz....HUH?!? Oh, wow, 62% in, this book finally started being awesome again! Okay, I'm back on board...

Uh-oh, GoodReads is reminding me that I'm 1 book behind in the 2013 challenge...okay, logging off to read now!

The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety." Of course, when Goethe said that, he wasn't facing off against a gigantic, eight-legged, metal monstrosity!

This book is quite frustrating at points...I really wish it wasn't on my Kindle, as it's denying me the pleasure of throwing the book across the room right now!

Villainess Lola LaFlame is soooooo much more interesting than heroine Bonnie Braverman! Bonnie may want to save the world, but Lola is saving this book!

I am VERY impressed by Westerfield's ability to describe the mechanics of the steampunk devices in such clear detail. Unlike the lumbering metal behemoths that stalk the battlefields in this book, Westerfield's prose never feels clunky! :)

Okay, I was really enjoying this book at first, but it's starting to lose me now... some of these plot twists are so absurd, even M. Night Shyamalan would think they were a bit much!

At first I wasn't sure which was cooler...the steam-powered metal juggernauts on the Clankers side, or the bizarre genetically-altered beasties on the Darwinists side. But now with the introduction of talking "message lizards" (and SNARKY message lizards, at that), it's beasties for the win!!! :)

That was an unexpected way for the heroine and villainess to cross paths...I like it when an author surprises me! :)
