A good ol' book about a Texas sheriff, a dark secret, some murders and a dash of sadomasochism. Everything you need to enjoy a rainy afternoon reading while sipping hot tea. This is actually a good read, the plot is pretty straightforward and can be easily figured out from the beginning, but that does not subtracts from the overall enjoyment. Also, I can't shake the feeling that I already read or saw this plot somewhere else...

I haven't watched the movie, but I will at some point. I just like reading some books before watching the movie, because books don't get censored after being finished (like movies do sometimes). In this case, the book doesn't disappoint, it was just what I expected it to be. If this means that I started reading with the bar too high or too low is up to your interpretation. Comic books don't have the same amount of dialogue than 'normal' books, but I like reading them at least a couple of times because there're always some details you don't get the first time. The book is specially hard when picturing the girl on the cover (Hit Girl), and there's a special twist that I gather is not in the film, so, if you've already watched the film, give the book a chance.

There's no denying that I'm a Penny Arcade fan boy. I went to this book's presentation when they were around... Sadly, I couldn't get an autograph directly from Gabe and Tycho (the books were already gone) but I signed up for this one. Anyway, this book is everything you want if you want to see for yourself the true face of Penny Arcade. It's way different from the previous books (I have them all) in the sense that this one is not just the daily web comic with some additional story; in this book, the web comics are only a side story... milestones in some cases, sub-stories in others. There's a whole chapter dedicated to Child's Play and another to PAX, perhaps bigger projects than Penny Arcade itself, and I enjoyed those immensely. All in all, a good book if you're even remotely interested in PA.

This another obsession of mine: Zombies. I picked up this book thinking it would be primarily about zombies, but, as the title suggests, zombies are just an afterthought to the entire story. The story is set in England, at the time when appearances, social position and status quo were more important than every. A pain, I tell you. There are, surprisingly, very few zombies in this novel. There are supposed to be hundreds, but they get mentioned only in passing, as if they were rain or snow. They are just another thing to worry about when trying to go to the town's dance. I can't say I enjoyed it that much, it was an interesting read, but just not what I wanted.
