Rated Small Acts of Resistance: How Courage, Tenacity, and Ingenuity Can Change the World 8/10
Amazing what little things others are willing to kill someone over and also amazing that people are willing to do them to show how oppressive and crazy those same other people are. A collection of short stories, I think this book is a good starting point for learning about history and horrific events in other countries. Also, some of our own. The book is an easy read, at least as far as style. Some of the events, not so much. Recommended for history and politics buffs.
Rated Dead Ever After 6/10
It was time. It was really time to put Sookie Stackhouse away. As I said in my review to the book before this one, I'd already lost a lot of interest in the series up to that point until I realized that there were only 2 books left and then the series was closed. I decided to read them for closure. Not that I thought it was bad, but it just wasn't as exciting as it had once been. As described in a list of books I saw, it was one of those series which fall under "outstayed its welcome."<br/><br/>So to this book in particular, it pretty much ended as I'd been predicting for years. The plot was fairly wacky and seemed to have little purpose. In the end, it still sort of felt that way, but its sole purpose was really just to get to The End. It conveniently tied up every loose end with little reasoning in its tying of many villains together and deposits you at the abovementioned End.<br/><br/>I suppose this might be satisfying to some, but to me it just came off as making it clear that there was going to be absolutely nothing left to give an excuse for continuation. However, since it was past its expiration date, I suppose that's a good thing.<br/><br/>Sad to see you go, Eric The Viking. It was good while it lasted...
