A little too much on the "believe and it will work!" premise... but a fun read. I cared more about the worldbuilding and lore of the story than some of the characters, too. I feel like the story really set up a great series, so I hope the next books get better.

When I went to watch this I was a little dubious as I thought Will Smith had a lot to live up to in his role. In my opinion he was on par with Robin Williams but completely different, he had a certain swagger that was really funny.

"When I was 12, I spent three weeks isolated on the island of Sardinia with my father and his young family. I found a copy of Clavell on the bookshelf in the home that we were renting and it saved me. Historical fiction became a lifelong love, and James Clavell a guide."

"I used to watch it all the time as a kid. It led to my obsession with hip-hop as a teenager. I probably watched it like once a week for two years. I watched it again the other day. Even though it’s super cheesy, it’s still really well done and well shot."

"I think about this film all the time. It has a real nice shape to it. The final shot is a terrifying portent, but for some reason I find it oddly hopeful. It's a useful jumping-off point when I’m thinking about what I want people to get out of my own movies."

This is definitely not what I expected. I thought it was going to be a twisted story which it started off as (and I was quite excited), then it just turned into a sex book... sex is absolutely fine, but if you remove the sex from this book is there a story left??

I have to say I am completely surprised by how good this book was. It was interesting but easy to follow & easy to read. I am not much on religion & I was engaged throughout the entire book. O'Reilly is a great writer & quite obviously did a great deal of research in putting this together. I am looking forward to reading his other novels.

Soooo cringey!
I mean the show is hilarious and I like it be how light hearted it is. Rebecca is basically a stalker, but by telling it from her point of view it's so comical. I love that it's so musical, I probably wouldn't watch it otherwise. It makes me cringe a lot, but I can't not watch.

Maybe it's just been a while since I've played a handheld gaming console, but this game is incredibly hard to control. I crash the wagon all of the time. I do wish it was just more like the original, or at least the more modern computer version.
I haven't beaten it yet, I always die of dysentery before I get there.
