Ratings without Reviews

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday-- sorry there was no new update! Today, I bring back "Ratings without Reviews" where I rate some of the other things I've been reading and watching. Later this week, there will be a new Daily Shill Review.

Ratings without Reviews:

Books:

Sleepwalk with Me by Mike Birbiglia: A seriously funny book, completely worth the read. 5/5

The Sandman, Preludes & Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman (and several illustrators): I've read the Sandman series before and loved it, but it starts a little slow. 3/5

The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson: The perfect follow up to 13 Little Blue Envelopes; Johnson knows how to write quality YA Fiction. 4/5

Movies:

Catfish: Engaging, creepy, and engrossing. 5/5

The Hangover Part II: I didn't think a repeat of the same plot could be funny, Part II proves that, with new jokes, it can be. 4/5

Well, I’m in the midst of writing multiple final papers (tomorrow, I have 26 single-spaced pages due), so I don’t have time to write my usual Monday review. However, come back later this week to read my review of Tim Gunn’s book Gunn’s Golden Rules. Meanwhile, enjoy this edition of Ratings without Reviews (books, movies, and TV I've recently watched that were not featured on the Daily Show).

Books
Dry by Augusten Burroughs: 4/5
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaimon: 5/5
The Learners by Chip Kidd: 3/5

Movies

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I: 4/5

Unfortunately, I haven't had time this week to finish anything for today's review. But I promised you a new post each day this week, so here are ratings for some movies/books I’ve read this summer that weren’t on the Daily Show.

Movies
Toy Story 3: 5/5
Despicable Me: 3/5
Dinner for Schmucks: 4/5 (P.S. How was this not on the Daily Show? He always has Steve Carell and Paul Rudd on.)
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: 5/5 (Please, go see this movie. It’s different and fun, and it’s not doing too well. You’ll enjoy it)


Books
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen: 3/5
Fool by Christopher Moore: 2/5
