What an end to the phase
Im a massive Marvel fan and have to say I love this version of Spider-man, this film was a great end to the infinity saga and was really a coming of age for Spider-man. I saw a lot of the plot twists coming but one in big one caught me by surprise! Triangle sandwiches anyone?

Coming of age story. (2 more)
20th century classic read.
It's written as a narrative from the main character 'Holden Caulfield', which gives it interest.
I first read this book over 30 years ago! Its a tale of a depressed teenage boy, flunking another school, cynical and disliking of most of society!

“Borne” is a work that exemplifies the notion of pick-and-choose literature; there are elements of science fiction and fantasy of course, but also flavors of thriller and love story and coming of age.
Critic- Allen Adams

This book was a quick read. The plot flowed really well. It was nice to see a main character my age although I can not relate to coming out that late in life. The internal conflict Mickey goes through really shows the complexity of coming out. The characters overall were very likeable and I have already gotten the next book in the series.

80s wants their movie back
This movie had a 1980s coming of age movie. At least in the 80s they would not just stopped at kids swearing but throw in some topples shots as well. Dont forget i am Gen X and i grew up on 80s movies.
The movie had potential but they never tapped in to it. The acting over all was great, well it was good. I found the kid's acting was great but the adults in the movie it was ok and not movie quality acting. After seeing this movie do yourself a favor and pick up some coming of age movies from 80s to early 90s and you might see where i am coming from.

Banned Coming of Age Story
I love being a rebel and reading books that have been banned before. This book showed a lesbian relationship in a positive light which is what earned it the ban.
Nancy Garden did a magnificent job of capturing the angst of first love. This in itself can be hard but add to the mix it being love that is scorned by society and you have a new level of coming of age story. This book was originally published in 1992 which can be picked up from some of the descriptions, none the less, the basis of the story is still relevant today. This story will make you cheer, cry, and want to hit someone with anger. It is a fantastic book.
