Even though I never even watched the After Hours special (I  desperately wanted to, but unfortunately I have, a, um, borrowed copy of Windows XP, and there for not able to upgrade my Windows Media Player to what GameSpot uses) I still got this cool emblem.  Sweetness!

Well, this week, I finished reading Desperation by Stephen King.  Here's what I thought about it:

This book is great.  Absolutely great.  The ambiance, the characters, the story, the gore, the romance, hell, the everything! 

The story opens up with a wife and husband driving down a deserted highway, and they pass a car nailed to a speed limit sign. Then they get pulled over, and one thing leads to another, and the man gets shot and the girl kidnapped.  Now, this happened to both a van with a wife, husband, and a daughter and son, and finally an author.  They are all put in jail (except, unfortunately, the little girl, for she is thrown from the top of the stairs and broke her neck.) along with an old man who has been there longer than them.  The story then becomes more fantasy oriented, as they learn slowely about the an ancient curse, hundreds of dead China-men, and a place called the China Pit. 

Now, there is only one bad part about this book.  As time goes on, only a reader with a decent reading skill will be able to follow the story. (Most of the story is explained by a man the boy met in his dream, who he believes is God.  He is extermely religious, and there have been several "Miracles" happening with him.) 

So, I recommend this book to anyone who loves horror novels with a very story driven plot.  But it is definately on the advanced side, so be warned.

9.5/10

Tell me what you think!

I'm already level 19. And I was only level 18 for a day. With me skipping this many levels I'm sure 20 will last for months. :(

Well, I've gone up 32% in one night, and now I'm level 18, or "Flicky" Now all I've got to look forward to is 19 and 20 *groan*

Here's my second commercial for my union!

My union, The Ultimate God of War Union, won the best leadership in the GameSpot union awards in a landslide victory. Yay! :D

Well, thanks to GlitchSpot, I moved up from lvl 15 with 97% to lvl 17 with 2%.  This is the first time a Glitch has helped me out!

Well, there is an unofficial (because technically, GameSpot isn't hosting it) Union Awards, and I'm entering my union, TUGOWU. If you're a member of this union, and you havn't been on in a while, please come check it out. We've become very succesfull, having almost 300 members and close to level four and we have battalion status, and in only one month. Please visit and at least look around. Thanks guys, and let's hope we win this thing!
