A Canticle For Leibowittz

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book takes place in between the events that most books would actually be about. It basically follows a cloister of monks whose mission it is to protect knowledge. This covers a huge swath of time. It is probably the only science fiction story that I have ever read that paints the Catholic religion in a positive light. It is a very strange yet very compelling book. I took away a star because I felt that the third act was a bit weaker than the other two and it was a lot more abstract and left many questions unanswered. Amazing book though, highly recommended.

Book of Eli-Spoiler Free Review

Talk about little to no hype on an amazing movie.  Where is the buzz.  This was a great movie.  The only thing that I can think of is that people didn't like the religious nature of the film. 

I didn't know what to expect from this film.  I may have heard a couple of people recommend it, but I wasn't really in that much of hurry to see it.  The premise of a man protecting the last bible on Earth seemed interesting and it had Denzel in it and he is a great actor, but that is all I knew.
