It Book Review

With a huge hit at cinemas "It" fever has definitely swept the entire globe. I decided that instead of being scared out my mind in the theatre that I would read the book so I received very few surprises while I was watching; therefore I wouldn't look so much like the scaredy cat I actually am. It is pretty messed up, alot of extremely horrible things happen during this book but you will love it. Stephen King writes in such a way that draws the reader in, when I sat down to read a chapter I would put the book down three hours later, my day passed me by, and I would want to read more. The book jumps between four timelines so it can be a bit hard to keep track of where you are at times if you are just beginning, during the two main timelines the same characters are used so it really does take some time to get the hang of things. That really is the only bad thing I could say about it, the writing is fantastic, the pay off is worth it, and there are many more elements...

Book or Show?

For those of you who don't know I HEART Game of Thrones. It took me a while to watch it as season one episode nine got spoiled for me before the air date and I was that annoyed I held off until a few months before season four. It also introduced me to the book series A Song of Ice and Fire which I started reading between seasons four and five. I also love the books as much as the show (if not more because novels are always better). So with season 6 fast approaching and some fans following Kit Harrington's every move, I'm starting to get pretty worried about the Book or Show debacle in which I am apparently going to find myself. Now I'm not complaining, George take as long as you want, you took your time on A Dance with Dragons and that book was great, keep doing what you're doing. Dan and Dave you guys have a network to keep happy and a world full of fans of the show who need to know what happened so also keep doing what you're doing. This is at it's ...

So whats happening with Jon?

So Jon is one of my favorite characters in both the show (Game of Thrones) and the book (A Song of Ice and Fire). I think mostly as from the beginning he is the underdog, the unwanted, the bas.. can I say that? Those of you who have not read the end of A Dance with Dragons or watched the season 5 finale of Game of Throne be warned as SPOILERS ARE COMING!  So where we leave off our Lord Commander Jon has been stabbed multiple times by his own brothers of the Nightwatch (seriously dudes not cool). Lying in a pool of blood, his last words are Ghost (not Olly) leading many fans to speculate (including myself) that he has warged into his direwolf who is currently trying to break free after Jon locked him up. Now this theory is pretty solid as A Dance of Dragons starts with Varamyr Sixskins, a warg who is dying due to wounds at the wall so he transport's his consciousness into his companion Thistle but she manages to regain control so as he dies he awakens in the body of his wolf. ...
