An Overwhelmed Creative

My husband has been bugging me about this game. After about three years since he began telling me about it, I finally took the plunge. I played it on the PS4, and since I wanted to start from the beginning, I began with the Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection, which has the first three games in the series. Uncharted 1: Drake's Fortune This was a pretty short game. My first impression was that it was a lot like Tomb Raider. The linear storyline, the shooting (and finding amo), the climbing... I got very stressed at first because the bad guys ambush you, but I soon learned to duck and cover and that made it all better. Don't make fun, but I played it on Easy.

  What a wonderful book. I wasn't sure what I was expecting about this book. I kept seeing this title everywhere and, knowing who Circe is and her role in the Odyssey (and her appearance in the Percy Jackson books), I was too curious. I was so pleasantly surprised. The story is told by Circe herself in the past tense—as if she is remembering her life. Her tale is so personal and human that I completely related to her. As the story progresses, she tells about how she had a hand in many of the other greek stories in a way that just makes sense. But even if you aren't familiar with greek mythology, it's still one interesting story told with beautiful words. To me, this book was a page turner. I was in synch with it. The words just flowed and they comforted me. It was a wonderful experience. The best book I have read this year. It will be hard to top it. Cheers!
