Though the book does contain richer details and a more complex, enchanting story, the ending felt like there was more left unsaid; there was so much more that needed to be explored instead of just hinted at or summarized in the book. But I did enjoy the book for enriching and fleshing out the marvelous world and wondrous characters portrayed in the movie. And I totally agree that the Witches of Eastwick is a great movie! Thanks for the heads up on what a downer the book is.<br /><br />As for the nicknames, I am known for being pretty easy going and always down for a little fun and adventure. I'm proud of my nicknames--I earned them. But now that it's been brought to my attention, I have decided to make more of an effort now to be nicer and more careful/cautious when dealing with the idio---, er, people that my friends are dating. eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-55560829584877663452016-12-11T10:37:20.203-06:002016-12-11T10:37:20.203-06:00Scarlet, Sorry about breakfast--sometimes, I can&#...<b>Scarlet</b>, Sorry about breakfast--sometimes, I can't help going a tad too far with my twisted, wicked sense of humor.<br /><br />As for the exes, I knew early on that they were volatile, which I mistook for passion. I was young, stupid, didn't know much back then. We were just incompatible, which was made very obvious with their aggressive overreaction when I ended the relationship and they, in turn, tried to end me.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-11987199049960840982016-12-11T03:41:33.664-06:002016-12-11T03:41:33.664-06:00Neil Gaiman - Yay!

Last year a friend lent me American Gods, which I loved (and I'm looking forward to the TV adaptation), but I haven't read anything by Neil this year. Must rectify that.<br />I don't know if I'll read Stardust, though. I absolutely love the film, and I don't want anything to spoil it, or create comparisons. I remember when I read The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike because I loved the film, and getting through that book was such a chore - I felt it was nothing like the film, and I couldn't believe I'd wasted my time with it. I don't want the same to happen with Stardust.<br />You'll probably get to it, but Smoke and Mirrors (a collection of short stories) is full of weird and wonderful tales, and an ideal book to read when you may not have much time to sit and go through a novel.<br /><br />Oof! I've worn myself out with such a long comment. I've just got enough energy left to say that aside from "Ninja Assassin", none of your nicknames needed any explanation - I can EASILY believe how they came about!Inexplicable DeVicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187364843729214996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-81035303687503043212016-12-11T03:23:30.917-06:002016-12-11T03:23:30.917-06:00Oh FFS!!!
