140-Character Book Review Contest

I fortuitously followed a tweet from Cool Cat Teacher about a contest to write book reviews within the 140-character limitation imposed by Twitter. The deadline is this Wednesday, July 26, and there are prizes.

Here are my two entries, plus one for a movie that's technically not eligible (you could say my review is of the comic book, but it's really not):

1984 - Winston Smith tastes freedom and steamy sex. Big Brother comes crashing in. Status quo: perpetual war on terror; same war, new enemy.

Crime and Punishment - Raskolnikov plans and executes the "perfect crime." Guilt gnaws, he confesses, goes to jail, falls in love.

Iron Man - arrogant-jerk arms merchant Tony Stark: kidnapped by terrorists, turns peacenik, stomps baddies. He is Iron Man.
