This is not a real Rorschach test, but simply a fun little additive to the whole character profile motif.

Subject EC:B 4-Lilly describe test image #1 as:

A very scary and very sad monster in search of something, “beware of those in search of something.”

This subject comes off as a sweet little old lady, and maybe she is, but she knows more than she lets on. She is considered harmless, but remains under observation.

This is not a real Rorschach test, but simply a fun little additive to the whole character profile motif.

Subject EC:B 3-Jack describe test image #1 as:

An armored super soldier like Ironman only fat and ugly

Subject may or may not be joking about what he sees. He has issues with authority and organized groups, but is obviously very clever. He’s probably very dangerous, and remains under observation.

Review: Year Zero

Year Zero by Rob Reid

I give this book a 4.

LikeIt

This is a very entertaining read full of laughs and, oddly enough, a great deal of factual information I never knew. This story is so absurd that I’m not quite sure how to describe it.

Apparently advanced aliens, far across the galaxy, have been craving and downloading earth music because it’s the one thing the insufficient human race is actually good at (and the rest of the known universe is not). Then one day the superior aliens, through their mastery of legal principles, realize that they owe the people of earth an innumerous amount of royalties or something like that. While some aliens have decided to settle the matter in court, others have decided to just eliminate the problem all together. That’s where the intergalactic misadventures of lawyer Nick Carter (not to be confused with Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter) begin.

To say that the characters of this story are kooky would be an understatement. My favorite thing about the story isn’t technically apart of the story. I love the footnotes. The footnotes of this book are like a running commentary in a movie. They are informative, hilarious, and pleasantly distracting. Eventually I had to stop reading them to finish the story and then went back to read them in perspective. I guess if you’re not really a reader, this may not sound appealing.

All aliens aside, anyone who likes music will love this book. It’s also good for a laugh.
