Fable 6: The Homelands
Boy Blue - kicked some serious ass....
Ghepetto... I'm disappointed in you
Fable 9: Sons of Empire
Fable 7: Arabian Nights (and Days)
I was bored...
Something about some cloud kingdom ya dee da...
Fable 8: Wolves
Bigby was hiding out in the forest somewhere amongst a wolf pack... "Vincent" finds him to return to do the dirty work
He blows up the sacred forest in the Homelands and gives Ghepetto an ultimatum....
Fable 9: Sons of Empire
Christmas - Bigby fights his big brothers while visiting Gramps...
Flycatcher is turned back into human form and given his memory back...
Santa Claus is a fable too!! Awesome
Bigby's time in the war...
The "7" children of Snow White and Bigby...
Pinocchio is the man!!!
War in Fabletown...
Boo dies :(
Red Riding Hood... not so dead afterall....
To say the least, not very impressed.
Was definitely not my favorite one of the Fables series so far.
On the plus note - I had to be in Newmarket for work the other day and we stopped into the Chapters to grab a coffee from Starbucks.
I found #4, 5, 6, 7 which I couldn't for the life of me locate here in Toronto! $75 out, but at least I don't have to try and figure out how to order it on line...
Fables: Animal Farm
The struggle continues in fabletown this time between "New York" and "Animal Farm"
#1 was far more interesting, but I'm still very intrigued to read the next 10 issues.
Since reality isn't a pretty place I've recently found my new escape.
1. Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall
2. Fables: Legends in Exile
A series of graphic novels by Bill Willingham in which legendary fairy tale characters have taken human form and are hiding in exile since their lovely Homeland have been raide and overtaken.
A great twists to the classic characters and how each o their stories are somehow intertwined. Looking for the next 12 in the series... They're posing to be a harder find than expected.
If you like the classic tales and what graphic novels have to offer I highly recommend the series. Wonder if it'll succeed in becoming a movie series. Probably not though. Oh well...

I finished my book.
It was a disappointment at best.
Mr. Sparks don't write any more stupid books.
I must say....
A feeble attempt at connecting religion(s) to science.
I appreciate Brown's attempt, but this book was far more predictable than the rest of his other writings.
I had figured out the entire story about 1/3 into the book and to my dismay was absolutely right about it....
I hope the next book is more interesting than this one.
However, here are some facts:
Freemasons
Ancient Mystery
Sir Isaac Newton
Circumpunct
Laus Deo at Washington DC
2.5/5 Simply because I was bored and the concepts were unoriginal and not creative. I felt like I was reading a 500 page religious lecture. The Da Vinci code at least kept my attention.
About 1/4 way through - there are 133 chapters... I'm on 42 or something like that??
Interesting so far - but hasn't caught my attention like the Da Vinci code did - perhaps I already realize that I'll be chasing a labyrinth of codes before finding out what I already expect at the end. Either way, quite entertaining... Just not enough time in a day.
I think my next read will definitely be a biography of someone... interesting. Like Einstein or Leonardo Da Vinci.
