Wow. I just finished In the Realm of the Wolf by David Gemmell a couple hours ago, and it was AMAZING. So amazing, in fact, that I want to write a post examining my reaction to it before I write the review.

The worst part… Continue reading Slogging through to the bitter happy ending

However, like much of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood, I was disappointed with the ending. It felt too… Continue reading How Avatar should have ended
