Book Review: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?

By Marcos -
This is the twisted tale of one Brown Bear and his animal friends. Unbenownst to them, they are all being watched by a classroom full of children, hungry for their blood. Little by little, they come to know this, mainly by using their collective powers of deduction.

I found this book amusing, in its illustrations (a purple cat - absurd), as well as its portrayal of modern animal life. Apparently these animals have nothing better to do than to look around at each other. Of course, in the end, this is what saves them from being killed by the children.

At least that's what I assume happens - the book leaves it to the imagination of the reader, and I'm an optimist.

All in all I give this book 2 thumbs up. This psychological thriller kept me on the edge of my seat from cover to cover. When I receive the sequel "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, How do you Taste?," I will review it as well.

Book Review: The Silver Chair

By Marcos -
A part of the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, The Mother says I have to read it before I watch the movies. Whatever. Its pretty good though. Can't really say I'm paying attention to a lot of it as its read to me, but I usually perk up during the fight scenes or when there is talk of the children getting eaten by giants. There was one other part though, that bothered me. I mean, I try to be as tolerant as I can be, and to just throw around the word "gay" as if it could have any other meaning, is just careless and rude. Not very P.C., Clive. You'll be lucky if your next book sells a few thousand copies.

Show review - The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about that

By Marcos -
How is this not the most disturbing show on television?  "Your mother will not mind at all if you do..." is the shows motto, and it only gets creepier from there.  Meet the two kids Nick and Sally.  Forced into friendship by their alcoholic mothers who can't be bothered to actually parent their children, these two are constantly being invited by a stranger in a top hat to visit his "friends".  At some point the show thankfully slips into metaphor so we don't have to see graphically all that really happens. They are invited into his "Thingamajig" and told to press his "jiggamawizzer".  Threatened to have two  hairy creatures named "Thing" force them into compliance, they proceed to do whatever the cat wants.  Next meet the Cat. Voiced by Martin Short, the show's theme song sums him up.  Obviously, the whole premise of the show as described above, is frightening enough.  As if to accentuate this, there are actually parts in th
