People tend to make a big deal about the religious aspect of the book. In fact, it's nothing more than spiritually philosophical. Unless you're a devout Atheist who can't, even for Sci-Fi/Fantasy purposes, consider the existence of God, you should have no problem with it.

This story, while closely following the path of the game's story line, is very choppy, at times skipping over parts that smoothed over the transition between major plot points. Playing the game first, in order to be familiar with the story beforehand, seems to be a must if you want to fully understand what's going on.

Second volume of the first Kingdom Hearts saga. The story is very choppy, going from one plot point to the next without much of a transition. Playing the game beforehand would help in understanding the story.

I always hate when I get to the end of a Tenchi series, because I don't want it to end, neither the series iteself, nor the story getting wrapped up. Well, no need for worries (ugh, bad pun) as "No Need for Endings" lives up to its title.

This book is a good biography of the origins and evolution of heavy metal music. It mostly covers the "classic" bands of the 70's and the NWOBHM in the 80's, along with the major players from early thrash (which this author decided to call "power metal", whether that's a misnomer on his part or if that was the term for it back then, I don't know), death metal, and black metal. The author does a good job of dispelling the "satanic" mythos by exposing certain bands' lyrics as mere shock value and by politicizing the church burnings and other violence associated with the Norwegian black metal scene. My only complaint would be that entire chapters were wasted on the barely-metal (if at all) genres of glam, metalcore and nu-metal, while the European speed/melodic power metal scene hardly got an entire sentence to itself.

Amusing and entertaining 4-panel manga about a group of high school teachers. I kind of think this is what Azumanga Daioh would be like without the students. It's a shame there is only one volume.

Teaches you stuff you should already know, but don't tend to think about when watching a game. It may seem a bit dated as many of the players referenced as examples were from the 2003 Red Sox and Yankees.

The inspiration for Orwell's "1984", this book is a must for fans of dystopian fiction. It is not as difficult a read as you would imagine. The chapters are short and they are structured to be some sort of daily journal written by the main character.
