The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – Movie Review
The real title of this movie is Män som hatar kvinnor which translates to Men Who Hate Women but it is known in the US as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It’s based on the book of the same name that I reviewed yesterday.

Heat Wave – Book Review
ABC has always done some interesting marketing, and usually if there’s a product to be made from a show they’ll do it, the results however are usually mixed. Take for example Bad Twin
I am in fact weary of any sort of television tie-in novel. I think they’re pretty horrible things that mostly have nothing to do with or contain the feel of the source material. They’re just writers who bought some licensing rights and who are borrowing names and characters from an already established universe. They usually suck.
Heat Wave actually has a really interesting premise. It is by the main character of the show “Castle” and is actually a book in the show. It’s the book he writes in the show. So the plot is centered around a loose fictional version of all the characters in the show. The lead in the book is Nikki Heat, who is representing Stana Katic’s character on the show, and she’s being followed around by a journalist called Jameson Rook, representing Nathan Fillion’s character. It’s all sort of meta and if you watch the show it makes more sense (if you don’t watch the show, why not?).

You Are So Undead To Me – Book Review
You Are So Undead To Me is a young adult book by Stacey Jay about Zombie Settler Megan Berry in the small town of Carol, Arkansas. A Zombie Settler is kind of like a psychiatrist for the dead mixed with a vampire slayer. Basically it’s a trait passed down through the family in which the Settler’s have some kind of draw so that if someone dies with something unresolved they go to that person and it’s the Settlers job to take their statement and send them back to their grave. But there are also times when a practicer of black magic will raise a corpse. These ones are not so friendly and the Settlers must get rid of them in different manners.

ON IN AT – Tegan & Sara Book Review
ON IN AT is a 3 book collection released alongside Tegan & Sara’s new album Sainthood. Each of the books is totally different and covers a different topic. ON covers their North American tour in 2008, IN covers a 5 day period where T&S went to New Orleans and tried to write together for the first time every, and AT covers their 08-09 tour in Austrialia. The books are available right now only at shows and at MapleMusic. They’re costly, so are they worth the price?
