Like season one, this second season of community was both funny and entertaining. With big stars like Chevy Chase, Betty White and Anthony Michael Hall, there is never a dull moment.You follow the misadventures of a disbarred lawyer who starts a spanish study group at his community college while trying to replace his fake degree. This study group consist of a millionaire, a former drug addict, a former quarterback, a single mother, a controversial activist and a pop culture loving film student. That along with an eccentric Dean and exaggerated scenarios found in typical school environments causes this group of misfits to find themselves in many different situations. All these problems only bring this group closer together causing them form their own 'community' within their study group, hence the title. One of the big things of the show is their constant pop culture references. Many episodes are dedicated to many famous movies and show like Doctor Who, Law and Order and Grey's Anatomy. Along with these references, there is plenty original content as well. With hilarious spoofs and running gags, each episodes provides a fresh new laugh.This show has both amazing actors and writers, the perfect combination for any comedy. Many jokes would not have worked if not done with the As well, there are many hidden jokes throughout episodes, so it is easy to re watch this season and catch new things. I have recently discovered this show and fell love with it. I would recommend this show to anyone looking for something different. Definitely something to go to if you don’t know what to watch.Like season one, this second season of community was both funny and entertaining.

There are many books about kidnapping and imprisonment, but not many authors choose to tell the story in this way. This book is told in the point of view of a 5 year old boy while he and his mother are held captive by a man. This boy has spent his whole life in this room and has no concept of an outside world. The author has done a great job of portraying the limited knowledge and vocabulary of this young boy. I think by using his viewpoint, the reader is able to get a real sense of the hardships in this book. Young children are often the most honest and do not hide their feelings. I think the title of the book: Room was a good choice of the author. The boy was born in this room and this is his whole life. He thinks there is nothing else besides this room. Through the book, the reader can easily forget that. This title helps to remind you how different his view of the world is. There are many things that most of us think common knowledge that he doesn’t know. This book is a great example of how certain events affect us for the rest of our lives. This book was an amazing read and I think anyone would enjoy it. Although I think it is not for anyone under 13 because of some of the hidden concepts you have to decode. Overall this was an amazing book and I can't wait for the movie coming out soon.There are many books about kidnapping and imprisonment, but not many authors choose to tell the story in this way.

This book was a very well written horror novel. I am not often scared by books and was surprised at how this book scared me so easily. This book is definitely not for anyone under the age of 14. I would recommend this book to anyone who is able to handle a horror movie. I feel this book will have the same effect. This book had the perfect amount of both suspense and plot twists that compels you to keep reading. This book takes place present day in a big forest. The reader follows a girl with a group of friends while they are on a camping trip, which takes a dark turn. The dark forest setting is probably what makes the story as scary as it is. Many people share the same fear of unknown creatures in the dark woods. Many people almost never go in the woods at night. In the book you also meet many suspicious characters. It can be very hard at times to know who to trust. The title: What Waits in the Woods, I think, is a very creative and effective title. From the very beginning of the book, different characters mention seeing a flash of something through the trees or sometimes voices. As they get closer and closer to meeting this person, they find what was waiting for them in the woods. The title also has an ominous feeling that first attracts readers. Overall this book was a very good read and is the first thing I would recommend for someone looking for a scare.This book was a very well written horror novel.

I found this book was both very compelling and interesting. This book was a good mix of horror and fantasy. The author has written a book for anyone who enjoys suspense and horror but nothing too directly scary. This is a good book for anyone over the age 13. In this book you are following the apprentices of a puppeteer as they uncover the dark past of their master and how it is linked to a recent disappearance of a young girl. This book also takes place in the slums of Victorian London. I think this is a great time period because helps to create the dark and gloomy feel of the book. The title Splendors and Glooms also relates to this mood. Throughout the book learn about different characters and their wants and desires. This desires are what motivate them to do different things. I believe the title Splendors and Glooms is used to refer to these thoughts and actions, as they are a big part of the book. I believe this book was a well written book for the most part. The author was able to use details and diction to create a clear picture and story. However I found at times the transitions between different characters points of view from each chapter could be hard to follow. I think that this book was mostly very well written. Overall I found this book a good read and perfect for anyone looking for a good book to get into.I found this book was both very compelling and interesting.
