Chosen Chapter 25

Posted on 01/31/2013 by vivisector

Have I ever mentioned that PCK has no sense of timing? A lot of hacks don’t but PCK’s latest is particularly irking. It’s important to establish what I mean by timing would probably fall under pacing. Though, for me, I … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 24

Posted on 01/29/2013 by vivisector

One of the things that amuses me about hack writers like PCK and Paolini is how much baggage they give their characters. Take Zoey and the many, many special things she owns. Every chance PCK gets, Zoey is given a … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 23

Posted on 01/27/2013 by vivisector

As predicted, we rejoin Zoey laying naked on top of Loren. He’s running his hands over her body and telling her how special she is. This makes Zoey happy and she nuzzles against him while describing her the scene. Apparently … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 22

Posted on 01/25/2013 by vivisector

We have five more chapters to go after this and so far the book can be summed up simply. Zoey thinks about breaking up with some of her boy toys and she puts Stevie up in Aphro’s house for a … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 21

Posted on 01/23/2013 by vivisector

I know that neither PCK nor her editor knows what irony means. This is evidenced when Zoey constantly refers to things that aren’t ironic as such. Like when she says she likes Count Chocula or Dracula. That’s more of an … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 20

Posted on 01/21/2013 by vivisector

Part of what makes Zoey and her servants so unbearable is their unrealistic reactions. Take Zoey’s conversation with Stevie last chapter. She’d just potentially killed two people, drank from Heath and was thinking about boning Loren, all of which she … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 19

Posted on 01/19/2013 by vivisector

Here’s a something that’s been puzzling me since last chapter. How the hell is Zoey going to get away with hurting those guys? Let’s pretend that they’re alive and well and just bruised, because we know they are, for a … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 18

Posted on 01/17/2013 by vivisector

I’m often hard on Zoey for abusing her powers and it might not seem fair, at first. After all, I wouldn’t whine about Superman using his heat vision to cook a bratwurst or Iceman chilling a beer. Nor would I … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 17

Posted on 01/15/2013 by vivisector

Since Zoey has sworn recently, she has to pay penance. At least, according to PCK. For swearing is something that imperfect people do and Zoey is as close to perfection as the author herself. Now Zoey isn’t able to use … Continue reading →

Chosen Chapter 16

Posted on 01/13/2013 by vivisector

Since Zoey went to sleep last chapter, there’s only one way PCK can start this one off. With Zoey waking up. But this time, it’s because of her dream. She says she knows the second Heath got back into town … Continue reading →
