Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Nightmares! (Nightmares!, #1) in Books

Jan 15, 2018

I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book. Being a teacher i saw it splashed throughout our book fair & I. The Scholastic book orders so I decided to give it a try. It is definitely aimed at a late elementary early middle school set. It started off a bit slow in my opinion, but the last half hooked me & I flew through it. It tells the story of Charlie & his "stepmonster" who of course, turns out to be not nearly as witchy as he thought. It has great themes for a preteen audience & the story flows nicely. It's supposed to be the first in a series but it ended satisfyingly so we will see. I'd keep reading the, though.

The reason I haven't been as active this week because I was in New York. Not going to lie, I went there to catch Tom Hiddleston in Betrayal. I waited outside the stage door on the 12th, and they never came out. So, I returned the next night (after seeing the matinee), and they did come out. I got to meet Charlie Cox, Zawe Ashton and Tom Hiddleston. I did actually get a selfie (which I am not good at) with him, BUT, I was cursing my phone out because I thought it wasn't taking the picture. I would post it, but I look like such a dweeb. He looks amazing, as expected and damn, he's hotter IRL, and that hair is majestic...

Seriously, I can't even look at it, I'm so embarrassed. I should have asked for another one.

what the actual heck

I don't understand the point of this film. I know that so many films don't have to have takeaways or anything you're supposed to learn and that's fine. But I genuinely don't understand why this film was made and why it freaks so many people out. On top of the plot just sucking in general, Melanie and Mitch are just weird. Mitch's mom gives me the same vibes Uncle Charlie and niece Charly had in Shadow of a Doubt. So many of his films give me incestuous vibes and this one was no different. I also hate his savior complex.

Thank god this was the last Hitchcock film I had to watch. I will probably never watch a Hitchcock film again. Good riddance.
