I’m appalled at this song. It’s Avril Lavigne’s lead for the upcoming Alice In Wonderland movie, song titled “Alice (Underground)”. And it’s one of the most disturbingly shrill songs I’ve ever heard.
Most people know that I am a long-time and oft-ridiculed fan of Avril Lavigne, mostly her older stuff though one or two of her newer songs. I grew up in the early 2000′s, so you can’t blame me for my Nelly / Avril Lavigne / Black Eyed Peas / Nickelback music mix I keep in the back of my iTunes. But this is just bloody awful. The beginning 46 seconds are delightfully misleading. Then it begins to spiral down into a pit of yuck. By 1:11, I’m smashing bottles of Martinelli on my head to get the awful ringing out of my ears. I think I can hear the microphone blowing out from overmodulation (a word we used in radio when one’s voice would be too loud and blow out the speakers, though I suspect ‘overmodulation’ is not being used to its correct definition).
Why couldn’t Avril Lavigne have made an epic credits song for Alice In Wonderland like she did for Eragon? One of the best credits songs of all time:
I watched the first half of that film just because I’d heard the song. Seriously, I’d pay big bucks if she’d have saved it for the Bran Hambric movie.

Most of you have probably heard of my project TwilightGuy.com, in which I wrote detailed reviews from a guy’s perspective of the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. As I said when I first started that website, two very long years ago: “I do not read vampire romances, nor werewolf romances, nor hobbit romances, nor any other romances“. However, I lived through reading the entire Twilight Saga. And as such things go, it only follows that I must now experiment on the second item on my list of things I do not read: werewolves. Heaven help us if someone digs up a hobbit romance for me 
I discovered Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater when it was given to me at a convention, but never opened it. I was told by Lauren of TheCrookedShelf.com to read it, though I never did, until many months later when I finally opened the book to see what the beginning was like. I knew full well that I didn’t have time to read anything nor get involved in another fandom: and yet I was sucked in before the second chapter ended. Thus, I relented, and decided I would read the rest, and blog my experience at SHIVERGUY.COM.
Shiver has been called the Twilight for werewolf lovers, so if you were a fan of Twilight and TwilightGuy.com, you’ll almost certainly enjoy reading along with me. I haven’t read the book, so I can’t honestly say if I’m a fan or not. But the opening was good enough for me to set up a new website… and that takes a lot
This website will be my video thoughts on reading the book, and possibly continuing on to the sequels. Unlike TwilightGuy.com, the reviews there will be done via videos posted once / twice a week with my thoughts on a few chapters at a time (as Maggie’s chapters run shorter and thus I can read a lot at one time).
I hope you enjoy following along with my journey through the world of werewolves!
To follow along as I read Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, visit The Books page or your local bookstore to buy it.
