Movie Favorite

"I guess because Werner Herzog might be the coolest man in the world. I like how he inserts himself into all of his stories. I’m a big fan of, I guess, “direct” cinema, but I don’t believe that a documentarian has to be a fly on the wall. That would be dull. I would listen to Herzog read anything. He could read the yellow pages. [On the influence of Herzog on Catfish] I guess just the basic instinct on our part just to be in our own films, to be a cameraman and a voice behind the camera and perhaps a character at times. We definitely get that from Herzog."

Truly Worth Reading

Though not a typical read for me, I am grateful that the publisher sent me an advanced readers copy because it was such a beautiful story. This story is told from varying views and I found myself easily relating to the younger sister Millie in particular to her choice of a husband. Through the author's writing I, was able to experience the feelings that Ruth and Millie had in such a vivid way, that I often felt as I myself was a part of this well-written story.

This was truly well worth reading and I hope that others take a chance on this story.

I think my favourite track is Changes (1 more)

Go on, give it a go, it might grow on you

I think some of the collaborations are slightly weaker tracks, although I do like Lust for Life (0 more)

A bit of a departure, but not in a bad way

I admit it, it wasn't completely convinced by the tracks released before the album came out, but I wasn't an initial fan of Ultraviolence either. However, I found that once I listened to the album in its entirety I could see a bit better where she was going. It's not devoid of her usual blend of bitter melancholy, but I did think that it allowed a certain level of hopefulness in. I admire the way that all the albums are different and that she is continually experimenting and working with different artists, even if it isn't always to my taste!

This was a really interesting novel. I normally don't read contemporary books, so I was pleasantly surprised when I picked this one up. This novel follows a girl who likes to call herself Egg, after a character in a science fiction movie that she loves. It follows her transformation from a girl who cares about nobody to a girl who genuinely enjoys being around her friends. I gave this a four star rating because there were a few parts that were slow, but all in all, it was very well written!
