Update Schedule

There was once an update schedule. It lived a good life, a peaceful life. A quiet life. But then... things began to change. It became more and more erratic, sometimes completely disobeying its very reason for existance. And at last, the update schedule could take no more. It cast off its chains and went free, seeking new lands where it would be appreciated. This message it left where once it had lived, to warn other schedules of the peril.

Review: The Dark Prophecy

The Dark Prophecy The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found perhaps half of Riordan's attempts at jokes to be funny; I imagine that if I were in the intended age range that number would be much higher. I'm not nearly as impressed with the mythology as I was in the Percy Jackson books- in this one I honestly found myself skeptical that Riordan pulled any of it from real sources (I haven't had a chance to research it yet)- but the change has been away from ancient mythology and toward learning tolerance for other human beings, which I can't really complain about. While these (and the other new series) might not be as good books as his earlier ones, the addition of morals makes up for it, at least for me.

Review: A Conspiracy of Kings

A Conspiracy of Kings A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I want to say I reread this one too, but to be honest I don't think I ever finished it the first time. A great addition to the series.

Review: Scythe

Scythe Scythe by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Other reviewers have about summed up what needs to be said, so I'll just ask one question: Why did they decide to kill people instead of restricting the birth rate? They're not banning population growth, just moderating it. It's not like they're short on time to wait for their turn to have a child.
