This is the story of a friendship between two boys in 1970's Afghanistan. When something horrible happens, it affects them forever. I loved the author's second book, but I found this one lacking.

One of my favorite movies from the 80's. Molly Ringwald as the teenager done wrong is her favorite type of role. I love the story of a young girl without a mother who is raising her father. She falls for a boy from the other side of the tracks. I love Annie Potts character.

Finally got round to seeing this as it's considered a cult film. Apparently it spawned 5 more sequels to date. For an 80's film it was fun if slightly silly story of warriors battling through the ages. Although never really explained why? The Scottish scenery and Queen sound track raise it just above average.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book was incredibly creepy! Told in first person it explores a '90's childhood and the life of a child therapist.

There's some really neat twists that I didn't see coming.
I highly recommend this book.

Great acting (1 more)

Amazing race footage

Great racing film

A film based on a true story of a great rivalry in the F1 championship in the late 70's. The acting is spot on and the recreation of some of the motorsport action is thrilling. A very interesting story well told by director Ron Howard.
