I had heard a little about this book before I saw that it was being made into a movie. The concept seemed cute and was definitely a good read. I was not prepared for the amount of sadness that I would have while reading and every time Cameron described the aging of the dogs, I found myself petting mine and holding her closer. Well written and easily embraces the view point of a dog from beginning to end and back again. I think all dog lovers should read this but have a tissue handy.
  
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Ok, I get that it's a teen classic.

I get that it's one of John Hughes 1980s movies.

I get that it was Matthew Broderick's break-out role, and that the 4th-wall breaking nature of the movie helped lay the groundwork for 'Deadpool' all those years later.

I DON'T get the appeal of the movie: for me, this was forgettable, with the lead character an annoying jerk (who, admittedly, does have one good line about how life is pretty short) only out for himself, and who pulls his girlfriend and his best friend Cameron along for no reason other than to show off to - he doesn't even have the gumption to check how Cameron is at the tail end of the movie.

I've heard about people saying how it is, essentially, a wish-fulfilment movie. My only wish is that I hadn't wasted my time watching it.
  
Quinn's back! (0 more)
An old friend
If you haven't read any of Shayne silvers or Cameron O'Connell where have you been? Seriously though the world that these two have built will absolutely draw you under in such an amazing way. I suggest starting from the beginning with Nate Temple and following him down the rabbit hole.

 I'm just so thrilled to have Quinn back and to find out what's been going on in her world since we last heard from her. I will say she did not disappoint and I was just thrilled to spend some time catching up with her. Although, she did have to skip out before finishing her story. I know she will be back to share the rest of her adventures soon.
