On Track

I just finished The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe the other day. It was alright. The main character was so stupid though. She did not comprehend anything. She could not put clues together. I couldn't understand how she was supposed to be this brilliant student but she somehow forgot her name. What the hell. As someone who goes by a SHORTENED version of my MIDDLE name, I know that my first name is required in a lot of day to day situations like filling out forms and going to the bank and other things of that nature. How in the heck does one simply forget their full name. It's like the girl was refusing to let any sort of knowledge into her head at all. She was dumb. Sorry, I just couldn't get over that. Other than that it was alright. The flashbacks kind of dragged a little bit. If you're going to have 2 different story lines at least make them equally intriguing. I don't know.
Also yesterday I reread The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis before the movie came out at midnight. It was great. And even though I can clearly see all the Christian stuff that is no longer an undertone to me, it makes a little more sense after having read a little of C.S. Lewis' non Narnia stuff this summer, you know all that Christian stuff that I don't really care for but it's interesting none the less. One thing I found strange was how they would say all these things about Eustace, like how he read smart books and was a pacifist and his parents were vegetarians and stuff, and they would kind of mock him for it. I mean he deserved it kind of, he was not a nice guy, but it was just weird. Anyways, the movie kind of sucked. They made up a bunch of unnecessary things like this random family that was not in the book, that didn't add anything to the movie whatsoever. The book was way better. It kind of sucked because I really liked the movie version of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe but whatever. Can I read 12 books in 20 days?
