At Barnes and Noble, determined to finally read The Little Mermaid, I sat there for half an hour, reading it. And what a morbid, surprising short story that was! I love the way Disney just remodels the true essence of stories. Haha. That was sarcastic. The ending seemed to end before the last three paragraphs. I think he added quickly, since it's a children's story, really. But, I love Han Christian Anderson. Haha. I'm working on his other works. I'm reading Thumbelina next. No, seriously though, The Little Mermaid was a tad morbid. Awesome, but weird, haha. What if he had gone in more detail with everything? It could be a manly version of Mary Shelley (if she liked Fantasy).
FINALLY FINISHED The Lazarus Project!! It feels as if it took me forever to finish that beast. I read the first sixty-five pages, got bored and quit reading it for a month. Then, determined to finish it, I did and ... Wow, I underestimated that novel. READ IT. It took me eighty pages to be fully enthralled, but it was really, really brilliant. I hate when I do this. Slow start, but a good ending. I wish I could write with as many deluded details he points out, but not excessively like Chuck Palahniuk. I'll be honest, I was NOT expecting the ending. In a way, if I paid attention, I should have seen it coming... Sadly, I didn't and that kills me, haha.
