SO MANY PAGES...!!!
Oct. 20th, 2008 11:02 pmOkay so after 20,000 years I finally finished Shogun!
It's a fantastic book, but at the same time, I couldn't help but be disappointed with the ending. It felt like when it got to a certain point, everything started to drag out and be less interesting... The last hundred pages especially. Maybe I should have held off reading it 'cause I'm sick today (ughhhh my throat hurts so bad it's making my ears hurt) and that kind of spoiled some of the enjoyment.
But the first 900 pages or so of the book were really excellent, so that's what I'm going to think about when I look back on the book.
( A couple extra thoughts, slight spoilers )
On an unrelated note, we need to get some GSRP ideas flowing. Sil if you read this before I come on again, let's start a planning thread for Halloween. There's still time to cook up something. Hopefully I won't be so sick then >:I
