Life is boring: filled with meetings and traffic, errands and emails. Nothing we'd ever call fun. But what if we've gotten fun wrong? In Play Anything, visionary game designer and philosopher Ian Bogost shows how we can overcome our daily anxiety; transforming the boring, ordinary world around us into one of endless, playful possibilities. The key to this playful mindset lies in discovering the secret truth of fun and games.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 195
In the near future, world wars have transformed the earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending violence and the planet's now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped on a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The changed world has turned evolution on its head: The surviving humans have become sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing stories upon their skin.

It is an amazing reading performance, but the story tries to do something but doesn't quite make it

The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Volume changes make for painful listening
Revisado: 06-29-16
Would you consider the audio edition of The BFG to be better than the print version?
The narrator alternates between whispering and shouting. The narrator seems to think that the way to sound like a giant is to yell, and the emotional range is limited to whispering, speaking, and yelling. Yelling a word in each sentence to emphasize certain words is poor acting and terrible listening. I have normal hearing, but if I turn the audio up enough to hear his whisper during a car trip, I get deafened each time he yells. Fortunately, my child fell asleep, so I was able to shut it off.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sophie was a typical child protagonist: an orphan seeking someone to care about her, which made her a good match for the giant seeking the same.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of David Walliams?
Anybody else. Anybody. Anybody who keeps the same volume, because in a car or on a train, I can't listen to an actual whisper followed by a yell and hear them both without pain. His stage whispers were closer to real whispers. When someone shouted or cried out, he actually shouted and cried out. Good post-production would have fixed it, but a better narrator would have been a good start.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Your kid fell asleep during the book, so why waste money on the movie?
