I'm here to crap a bit more about books. First, I Am The Messenger. I know I wrote alot of about this but I finally finished this and it's nice nice nice and my respect for Markus Zusak is still standing. I especially love the ending. Okay the storyline is basically that this cab driver Ed Kennedy who's a total screwup starts receiving playing cards in the mail with addresses and clues and stuff that lead him to people that need his help. It can be extreme cases like a man raping his wife every night, or a lonely old woman, or two brothers with a rivalry. Then he basically helps all of them, until the last card reveals that the last person he must help is himself. Then the guy who is apparently behind everything appears at his house. I don't know whether this is the correct interpretation, but I think he's meant to be the author of the story, Markus Zusak. He puts this whole box of manuscripts on the table and says he knows everything that Ed Kennedy did, and when he asked a question the author pointed to the box where the answer was written, and says that he knows everything he's going to say. And he says that he made the man rape his wife, and made all those people unhappy. I think this is awesome, because it is so true. We as authors make the most terrible things happen to our characters. Even when the main character is helping those people in the story it is us who made those things happen in the first place, it is we who created them. I think I really should be nicer to my characters. But somehow, I can't. It's just the way things are. And I hope everything turns out alright for them in the end. Second. Brisingr. I just felt like reading it and realized I forgot alot of things like the fact that Eragon has a sword in the first place and who the heck was Brom (I can't believe myself). And the part where they say, since Galbatorix made a spell where whoever uses his true name will die, they're not gonna try to find out what it is anymore. I don't understand why. I mean, wth, everyone is saying that they'll gladly give their lives for the sake of defeating the Empire. Doesn't it ever occur to them that someone can make a sacrifice and die for the sake of defeating Galbatorix by using his true name? Think, Eragon, think. This is what the main character's supposed to do. but I suppose it'll all come to you in time. And stop mooning over Arya, it's kind of disgusting. Like Edward and Bella all over again. Can you just not love anyone for the rest of your life, it's not like it's compulsory to fall in love and everything. And as if people are going to believe him when he says he's killing Galbatorix for their own good. How many of them has he killed already. He'll never find acceptance and I just know it. In the end he's prolly going to fly off into the mountains and live as a hermit by himself forever. That would be logical, but of course stuff like that doesn't happen to the main character. Believe it or not, I like the Urgals. Which is why I like Eldest better than the other two. |
