Thank God these movies are over
Another movie I got dragged to this year by my better half, I haven’t seen part one of this two part movie, but I could still tell it was a book that had been split into two parts. Uninteresting characters and performances and naff source material makes this one to miss.

The childlike emperor's name
Contains spoilers, click to show
So, I didn't finish the book the first time I read this book (2016ish) because I couldn't get over the childlike emperor's name. I know that's a stupid thing to get hung up on but as it is a book that influenced a movie and I saw that movie at a young age. I had built up the mystery so much the let down was huge. I also kept comparing the book to the movies(they are better fight me. Ok not the second movie. I'll throw hands on the first.)
Don't do this.
I reread it and am glad because it is a good book for any age. It has good life lesson to learn or relearn and very creative in its creatures and world building. Its title is a little on the nose because by the end of the book I counted down the pages to the end. The first part of the book is the best, in my opinion.
Artax talks which is meh. And his death doesn't hit you as hard. But there are more fleshed out parts. Which I enjoyed.

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I wish I had my own copy so I could read this again before the movie comes out but I checked it out of the library from my freshman year. I didn't expect to love it so much. This was the book that had gotten me into reading again. I used to read a lot when I was little but then I stopped but now I'm back at it again because of this book and I couldn't be more thankful for that!

I loved this book sooo much. Again like the first book I didnt want to put it down.
Thoughts:
I love the Weasleys so much more than I thought I did.
The Dursleys are even worse than the first book.
The whole execution of Tom Riddles diary was so much better than the movie!

Read this book, and have also watched the movie - the movie has NOTHING on this book, so, please do yourself a favor and read the book even if you've seen it on the big screen. Don't get me wrong, the movie is great - if you've already read the book, it's amazing to see it come to life. And, yes, I know Jack Nicholson is pretty, but STILL! Read the book, too!
The book crafts these incredibly vivid images of despair, torture, and sadness that you FEEL as if you are watching a film. It's an incredible story of mental illness, friendship and the camaraderie between these patients and the strength of the human spirit. I laughed out loud several times, and I cried even more.
Set in a mental asylum in the ’60s, McMurphy, our "anti-hero" is sent to stay, because he wants to avoid prison. He is not "crazy" - and it becomes a power struggle between him and "the system" (and in particular, an extremely power hungry nurse). There are so many layers to this story, and I hungrily peeled through them all and am sure if I read this again, I'd find many more layers.

This is good yet sad book. I think everyone should read it at least once in their life. I had to read it in 5th grade and saw the movie immediately after and it still makes me cry to think about it.
