85% of my opinion

As I stated in my previous blog, this was the first book, school related, that I actually read from cover to cover. I thought it was clever and well-written. I enjoyed Chuck's sarcastic humor and comments. I also liked the music references, which I also think could be a one of the negative aspects of the book, when it comes to the reader. If the reader is not familiar with the bands/artists they might become bored, but I also think that you do not need to know the artist to understand the point Chuck is trying to get across. Overall, I did enjoy it and I would recommend it for future classes. I think this book is very entertaining, creative and a great escape from the mundane readings of other classes.

Killing Yourself To Live

I was not impressed with the end of the book. It wasn't as epic as I thought it would be, it was just kind of there. Overall, I did enjoy the book. I enjoyed the music references and Chuck's endless sarcasm. Honestly, this is the first book for a class that I actually read from cover to cover and enjoyed it.

As far as using this book for future classes, I would say yes, but no as well. There were a few points in the book where I did not understand the references to the musicians he was speaking of, but it didn't make it difficult to understand what he was trying to get across to the reader.

If I were to give it a score from 1 - 10, I'd give it an 7.

Just one other thought....

I've become increasingly irritated with this school. They offer no evening classes what-so-ever. I'm not about to change my whole career path because I cannot find a couple of classes to take. You would think that with all of the classes I have to complete in order to get my degree I could find at least two, but you're wrong, I can only find one..ONE!

Lately...

Things have not been that great. I'm tired, I'm stressed and I'm ready for summer. The only thing that is keeping me going is that my Mom will be here Thursday, I have not seen her since my wedding which was back in October of 2008. This visit it well over due.
