Dead Man Rising by Lilith Saintcrow. + Movie review

Dead Man Rising by Lilith Saintcrow. Scifi. Pages 270. Donte Valentine novel second book in series. I love this series. I think Dante otherwise known as Danny is a really good character. She's a half demon necromancer bounty hunter rich chick. She has no clue what she's doing as a half demon cause her demon lover died before he could tell her anything and she's just fumbling through things. It's a good thing she's nearly impossible to kill. Unfortunately one of those close to her isn't so lucky and she does manage to lose someone along the way. Sometimes even those well versed in death can't stop the fated from happening.

Move review: Eragon was an OK movie. I don't feel bad for having seen it but the book was just so much better. The props were kind of second rate. We're pretty sure they spent all their money on the dragon and then didn't have any for anything else. The scenes seemed a bit choppy to me but that is mostly because they had to take so much out to make it a movie from the book. I actually think they could have made it a bit longer. After all it wasn't even 2 hrs long. Well I'll give you a bit of an over view of the movie here. Eragon is a teenage boy who lives in a world where dragons used to exist but the king has killed all but his own. It's a sad time in the empire and everyone is thrust into darkness. Few have hope until Eragon finds a dragons egg and learns to ride. He may just save the empire.
