Here I am in forum once more. I have no homework to do, quite awesome. So, I started reading this book called Maximum Ride. It's pretty weird. These kids grew up in a lab where genetic engineering gave them wings for to fly. They say their "98% human, 2% bird," but that's gotta be completely made up. The whole book feels kind of like something that I might've written in middle school. Not a lot of description, considering they can FLY. It seems like someone writing about an impossible feat would have as much description as possible. Plus I started looking for every cliche I could find; recurring nightmares=CLICHE. Yes, this is exactly what I was wishing I had, but come on! Basically a good idea, but not too great on execution. Too bad I can't quit a book very easily once I start reading it; I started on "The Subtle Knife" from the "His Dark Materials" trilogy but never finished it, and I've felt weird about it for a while now. A book I have to finish, but I can stop if I finish one in a series. Eragon=just as cliche, but I got through the first book...and never got to the second, as the whole thing felt ripped off. Plus this:

turned out to be pretty true, as it had a whole dictionary in the back!
Well, back to the book. This has been BEDA day 3.

Ugh. Subtle Knife was okay, but the final one, Amber Spyglass, was fucking hell. "There was some chick who's name I refuse to reveal sleeping in some asshole cave in asshole mountain. Now, 20 more pages of this same sentence." There was a definite curve of suck leading straight down from the first book. Phillip Pullman had better get his act together.
