Great performance form Angelina Jolie in a not so great film.
Following her committal to a mental institute, we follow the experiences of Susanna (Winona Ryder) in the late 1960s. Based on the book by the same name, which I've heard a lot of good things about, I failed to really be engaged by Susanna's story. I never felt for her struggle or journey, in fact, I was bored by it. I'm normally a huge Ryder fan but this just didn't work for me.

Without the strong showing by Angelina Jolie as the full-on wackjob with a personality, I might not of made it to the end.

A fairly uninspiring film for a story that should of been emotionally engaging.

I think the book may be better for me as I engage with them more than movies, I'm pretty harsh in movies as a result. But so many books to read and so little time.....

Ha! I know the feeling. I feel like I'm not going to live long enough to read all the books I have. Even if I lived to be 100, I'd still need about a million years more!

A Useful Reading App
I've used this app/website to track my reading for many years and I have found that this has been the most user friendly of all book type tracking tools. It's very easy to find and you have many different editions to choose from, so that you can get your page count correct.

I like that you can add tags and organize your book shelves in whatever categories you want and the reading challenge function is fun.

I don't really use the group interaction part of the website, but I imagine this would be a great way of meeting people, who like reading similar authors and books as you.

My only gripe is the boxes that come up around the website, with recommendations and book awards. I don't really pay much attention to the recommendations, I read what I want to read and only take book recommendations from friends. I also don't select my reads, based on popularity or book awards. So, I would prefer it if there was some way of taking this off of your profile.

This is a must have app/website for all book lovers.
