Musui's Story: The Autobiography of a Tokugawa Samurai
Great book, but I actually liked the movie more. The book's a bit too heavy on descriptions what people wear and eat. I know that's the whole point, but the pace is just too slow.Johnstantine said:Currently reading American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis.
Even though I loved the movie, I like the book better.

Yuck.
One of those rare examples where the film is a MAJOR improvement upon its source material. Here, the dialogue was AWFUL, and the illustrations were downright sloppy. Oh, and it wasn't really all that interesting, either.
Skip it, or watch the movie, instead.
Johnstantine said:Or you could just skip both. The movie was horrible.
I really enjoy that book that one of Clive Barkers best books and the writing is just excellent, I really like how Mr. B Gone tries to do evil things and they just happen to look silly to me or when he explain how he was going to torture someone and the reader, that greatBreed1Ghost said:I just got Clive Barkers book Mr.B Gone didnt get a chance to really sit down and read it but I am 16 or 20 pages in. Its pretty interesting it isnt like reading a book more like the book is talking to you which I find pretty neat. This is my first CB book I hope I enjoy it will post more if anyone is interested in knowing about it.

Chiron said:I am devistaed to find you may be right. The Assassin's Apprentice is fucking amazing though. The characters are so strong and individual and her style is damn near flawless. She pulls some BS Dais Ex Machina stuff at the end but I forgave it because of how strong the other 300 pages were. Then I turned to the second one and not ten pages in I was distressed. The characters aren't even the same. I found myself ranting to my husband about how I might not be able to go on because already Burrich is talking to Fitz and being kind instead of stern, wtf!
