Kitty in the Underworld by Carrie Vaughn

     This book is part of the Kitty Norville series. It needs to be read in order. The first book is Kitty and the Midnight Hour.

     This is one of those books in a series, that I didn't outright hate but it wasn't as good as it predecessors. The story started out kind of interesting. Keep in mind, I don't need a book full of action and adventure. But it has to have a story that keeps me interested.
     I think the captivity focus, which , yes, is an important part of the tale, felt a bit too long. It got better, when things were being learned, and characters were actually verbally interacting. But when it really started moving, it got so much better, and I found it hard to put down.
    But it still wasn't the typical Kitty tale.
   

Transcendence

This was one of those if I see it fine, if not , no big deal films. I agree that this film is slightly on the lines of Lawnmower Man.
     It wasn't a bad film. A bit slow, at times. It 's one of those get you thinking type stories, this one focused on the age old question of what makes us human? Is it intellect? Emotion? Ability to reason? Also brings up morality and science, just because you can, should you do it? All the more relevant in the technological age we live in.
     Would I suggest paying good money to see this film, not really. If you really wanted to go out to the movies and there was nothing new to see, then it might be worth the cash. probably better to wait and rent it though.

Ghoul Goblin by Jim Butcher

     I'm not a big fan of graphic novels. It's not that I have a thing against the genre, I don't. It's just I can go through a story in an hour or so.
     This is the second Graphic Novel that is an original Dresden Files story. The first is Welcome to the Jungle. He does have his first two novels, Storm Front and Fool Moon in graphic novel form.
     I enjoyed this story, and it's nice to Dresden out of Chicago and in another state. The story was well written, with a twist here and there. The graphics still just as lovely and well done, art work. Typical Dresden tale, not disappointing, and worth the time to read it. I waited till it came out in the complete tale. It was released in segments originally.
   

God's Not Dead

I have seen christian based films and this is one the best I have seen, that isn't based on a bible story.
     This film reminds me of Crash in a way, because you have these characters, who aren't all involved and know each other, start crossing paths, as the story progresses. Characters are very real, and some do play themselves, such as The Newsboys, and Willie from Duck Dynasty.
     Tale keeps you interested, and doesn't feel long at all. Well written and over all well done. Worth checking out.

Captain America : The Winter Soldier

I never saw Captain America, wanted to. Sad, to say, I bought it on DVD and still haven't seen it, as of yet. But you don't have the see the first to see the second installment. The film fills in the facts you need to know.
     Watching this movie in 3-D does help pull you into the tale a bit more. From the beginning this story pulls you in and once it gets going it grabs you and takes you on a wild roller coaster ride. A lot of action weaved into an interesting tale, with the right bit of humor mix in. An enjoyable, action packed ride. Worth seeing on the big screen.
   

Bridge of Dreams by Anne Bishop

This is the last of the Ephemera  trilogy. The first book is Sebastian.

     It took me a little while to get into this installment. I think the issue was the time between the last book and this one, taking place a month later. The issue I had was the change in Lee. I won't go into details, because I hate spoilers, but I think if the lapse of time was a few days leading to a month later, and the reader could follow Lee from the time of his sister's return, then I really think I could have re-immersed into the books world faster than what I did.
     Once I got into the story, I really enjoyed it. It definitely the Anne Bishop style I know. This installment was well balanced. Enough character growth, action, and emotion. New and interesting characters grab you and pull you deeper into the story. The only issue: and this is more on a personal interest, if you read the story, besides like I've said before, no spoilers. But I was curious about the question Teaser wanted answered, and it never was.
     Otherwise, an ending that did leave room for more tales, but left the reader satisfied, for the most part. Definitely, enjoyed visiting the wild child and the people who live with him.
