Rolling Stone's 271st greatest album of all time (466th in the 2020 list)
This album marked the Beach Boys' coming of age, moving from fun-loving surfing good-time boys, to more intelligent and meaningful musicians. The music is much more varied, more orchestral, and the harmonies take on a whole new level. The songs are much more serious too in general and a move towards what would become their Pet Sounds mindset. A great listen featuring some of their best songs.

An incredible world and interesting characters (0 more)
Imaginative new fantasy series
I think this author is really on to something. This book was an exciting coming of age story set in a magical world. When the youth fails to live up to their potential they're thrust into a dangerous environment meant to activate their powers. In the darkness they'll need to work together to fight innumerable enemies in hopes of escape.

I'm really looking forward to reading the next installment.

A great coming of age story. Both serious and funny. The book is broken into two parts the first is about her upbringing and the difficulties of being seen as less than... The part two picks up in the same time that chapter one does and goes from there.
Although you're supposed to read this second as it is a prequel (to the Blue Sword) it is a good stand alone/read first book. I highly recommend.

Missed the notes of the book
The Goldfinch was quite a special book full of atmosphere and suspense as well of coming of age. Its also a bloody big book so to make it work in a short film is quite difficult.

That is the movies let down. The development of characters that is expansive in the book was lacking the space they needed in the film. Its still a decent enough flick but you just don't get drawn into the emotion of the people involved.
