June 5th, 2016, 3:51 p.m. - The Stand meets Firestarter meets Lost meets...Mad Max: Fury Road with a firetruck? I don't know
15. The Fireman (Joe Hill)
Up next: American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
June 12th, 2016, 4:22 p.m. - "Run, Hot Rachel, run!"
UnREAL – "War": I'm all in for this season, of course, and will even put up with Rachel becoming Quinn 2.0, Chet becoming unbearable, and Madison continuing to make me cringe from thousands of miles away. But I CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE OF JEREMY. Someone please lock him in a production van for the rest of the season. Rating: 4 tattoos
June 18th, 2016, 2:19 p.m. - "Racism is so confusing, isn't it?"
UnREAL – "Insurgent": How long until Rachel and new guy hook up? I say no more than four episodes from now. How long until Darius beats up Romeo on national TV? Probably a few more episodes after that. How long until Ioan Gruffudd shows up? That one's a serious question. Rating: 4 "I can't breathe" shirts
June 19th, 2016, 7:48 p.m. - Featuring the most blatant Christ imagery you'll see anywhere, including the Bible
16. American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
Up next: All the Birds in the Sky (Charlie Jane Anders)
June 25th, 2016, 2:04 p.m. - "The two of you together are terrifying"
UnREAL – "Guerilla": Holy crap, Rachel and Coleman have already made out! That happened way faster than I expected. At least he's not a mess like Adam (well, so far). Still waiting for Ioan Gruffudd, by the way. Rating: 4 minutes in the Hole
Too many problems here that weren't overshadowed by the good stuff. I'm disappointed – I was really looking forward to this. It's easily my least favorite of Hill's novels. Surprisingly, I did like the ending, though.
I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped I would, but I'm glad I read it. If I can, I'd like to watch the miniseries, too.
