Butterfly in Frost

6.5

Book Rating

I borrowed this book from the library, assuming it would be another light, smut-laced Sylvia Day read. A mindless, fun, beach read. However, for a fairly short novella, Ms. Day certainly packed it with deep emotion and sincerity, which took me by surprise. Parts of the story were funny or exciting, while other parts were gut-wrenching. I was pleasantly surprised by Butterfly in Frost. The story was quite complex, emotionally, in a very short number of pages. It could have stood to be longer, and felt like it probably skipped over a lot of details in a couple of spots. However, for a novella, this really grabbed my emotional heartstrings in a stronger way than I expected it to.

A couple of songs only for me (0 more)

Feels like trying too many different themes on 1 album not always a bad thing but didnt work for me. (0 more)

After winning this from Smashbomb and requested I review it so here goes.

I would not have purchased this album even though I do like some of Madonnas other works but they are mostly the 80s hits and some from the Frozen album.
I found 2 or 3 tracks ok to listen to with nice use of beats and piano in the songs. But over all I felt she was trying to cater to too many genres which sometimes works but for me on this occasion it didnt. A generous 5 out of 10 from me.

Interesting take on a worn out story.

Vince Vaughn plays a "planner" for underground crime. He provides plans, schematics, and other assorted information to other criminals so that they can perform crimes while focusing on the legwork portion of the crime. Naturally, everything goes wrong and he becomes a hunted man, as you would expect.

That's when things actually get a little different. Nick's (Vaughn) sole focus becomes making sure his quasi estranged daughter (Haylee Steinfeld) is provided for after his impending death. While accepting his own fate, he will stop at nothing to stay alive long enough for his new life insurance policy to become active, in one week.

Nice little afternoon action flick to burn a couple hours.

I honestly don't know. (0 more)

A lot. The main characters acting for one. (0 more)

I started this show thinking that I'd finally found a new show I could get into. I watched about 2 maybe 3 episodes (it's been a while) and it was painful to watch. Now of course many shows have that couple episode area where you need to push through and then it starts getting better. This show didn't have it.

The relationship between the main protagonist and his wife feels fake. He seems to care little to none about his son and overall the actor's performance gives the feel that he was given a script that just doesn't work.

Some of the settings also feel like they were slapped together last minute.
