"The next one would be Dead Alive by Peter Jackson. Again, another animated cartoon with live actors, and this is a film that really showed me how you can take a violent, dark situation and make it comic. Lots of blood, lots of decapitation, lots of violence, and yet it’s a comedy. That was a big influence on me when I started doing I Married a Strange Person!. I really referred a lot to Dead Alive."

"I found this really unnerving when I first read it at age eight. There’s a lot of talk lately about “kids’ books for adults.” But this is an adult book for kids—a realistic, complex, and not at all dumbed down look at a girl who wants more than anything else to be a writer. When I grew up and learned that Fitzhugh was a lesbian, that explained a bit more about why Harriet resonated so much for me."

I really enjoyed reading this book. I docked a smash point because it could be a tad slow at times. As others have said, it is a stressful read. It's one of those stories where you empathize with all the characters, even though they may make poor decisions. I liked the overall message and it was truly a book about love and forgiveness.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This concept was definitely a unique one, and this book had me laughing from start to finish. A couple times, I had to put it down as people were starting to give me funny looks. If you need a happy moment in your day, I definitely recommend reading this one.

4.5 stars

This was a really cute novel. I really enjoyed reading it. It was predictable but that is to be expected when a novel is based off of a fairy tale. I found myself engrossed in this novel. It was a nice escape from reality. I will definitely look into reading more novels by this author. The writing was spectacular, and it was very imaginative.

Can follow with very little background, good dialogue and writing, plenty of "Oh, f***!" moments. (0 more)
Can be a little slow, and sometimes a little confusing. (0 more)
Frighteningly Real
I love this. It's frighteningly realistc and engaging. Just when I think I'm starting to get a little bit comfortable in this world, it jars you and leaves you a mess. I haven't been right for days, ya'll.

Admittedly I read this quite a few years ago but from what I can remember it was a wonderfully poignant story of grief and family. It's honest about the twists and turns grief will take you, good and bad, it's really a breath of fresh air. It clearly has a lot of heart in it, which as an avid reader and performer I really appreciate.

As a musician who has toured I have friends all over the world. Before I used to have to buy a phone card or have a really expensive phone bill. Messenger compared to this is a life saver, I can call, video chat, message etc for free. What's not to love.
