Carma (21 KP) rated The Way You Look Tonight (Seattle Sullivans, #2; The Sullivans, #10) in Books

Jun 17, 2019

Rafe is a private investigator that is quickly burning out. He decides to head out of town and thinks back to his summers at the lake growing up. Arriving at the cabin he sees that time hasn't been kind to the little house but what he sees next door sets his pulse racing.

Brooke can't believe it when she sees Rafe pull up next door after all these years. Growing up, her summers were always spent with the Sullivan family in one way or another. She may have had a little crush on Rafe, ok a big crush but never thought he paid much attention to her in that way.

Rafe and Brooke reminisce about the past while working on their future. Another wonderful Sullivan story for the permanent shelf. I absolutely wish I could someone join this glorious family.

Very moving

This doc is for everyone, not just people interested in military history. Peter Jackson has done an amazing job putting together a seamless, cohesive film from the many hours of footage he had available. I am usually not a fan of black and white films being colorized but in this case, it really adds to the viewer's experience. You'll get a real sense of what it was like on front lines of WWI and see the universal experience of the soldiers, no matter what country they were from. At times it's funny, at times heartbreaking, always intense. It's definitely a must-see. And do yourself a favor, stay after the credits for Peter Jackson's discussion about what it took to make this film. The amount of research and detail he and his team put into this film is awesome.

I read this on recommendation from my dad, and, I must admit, while I went in not expecting much from it, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised and found it to be quite enjoyable.

I beleive there is now something like 18 books in the eries; this is the very first that introduces us to the central character of Amelia Peabody: a Victorian heiress at the turn of the century. I'm also not really sure how to classify this novel, as it combines elements of mystery, action/adventure, romance and comedy, with the central character of Amelia herself being a bit of a know-it-all (she's always right, even after the fact).

Will I read more in the series? Probably, but I don't know if they are books I would go out of my way to look for.
