"A beautiful novel. I fell in love with the strength of the main character. It looks at racism and choices we make, and how it all pans out. It’s about race, relationships, politics… inspiring and moving."

"Spike Jonze is another genius visualist who knows how to stimulate your eyes while breaking your heart. This movie is so weird and beautiful. And what a script by Charlie Kaufman! They are both incredibly talented."

This was a visually stunning, well-acted, well-directed, and beautiful piece of art. However, I had so many people over-hype this movie that it just couldn't live up to the reputation that preceded it.

This film is absolutely beautiful, the animation was so cool, and so well done. It's worth seeing for the beautiful animation alone. Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists, and it's fitting that a year ago today, I was in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The story was excellent and engaging. I can't say enough wonderful things about this. I can't wait to go see it again.
The only thing that was off was the song at the end... It just didn't fit.

Beautiful music
Her best yet
While I've like many Adele songs in the past, I've never really liked enough of them on one albumn to buy it until now. This one doesn't have a bad one on it. Her music is beautiful and haunting and fun all at the same time. Best part for me though is that this is music that both the kids and I like so we can all enjoy listening together. Not all artists can cross generations like she can.

A great story
The circus and the characters are brillliant
Absolutely spectacular
It's been a while since I read this book but I remember being in complete awe of it. Every single word has a purpose, it's as if each one is specially selected to realise the novel's potential and it's quite rare to get that.

It's mesmerising and beautiful and it's nice to see magic used with subtlety yet still being important without overshadowing. It's difficult to believe this was a debut novel!

I picked up this book a few years ago, solely because of the beautiful and creepy Penguin Deluxe Classic edition cover. I was not disappointed, the book was also creepy beautiful.
The town described in this book reminded me of the small village my grandmother lives in, to include the bizarre mob-mentality. The atmosphere invoked is creepy and intriguing. You're left wondering until the very end what exactly happened, and the things left unsaid are telling. Overall, a terrifyingly excellent book that I plan on rereading.
