Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Out of Tune in Books

This collection of short stories with has a interesting twist in that they are all based on traditional ballads. I really enjoyed the variety and the dark twist on all of them. Some of my favorites were "Driving Jenny Home" and "John Barleycorn Must Die". As a person who loves Irish and Scottish folk music these stories gave me a new perspective on the music I listen too.

I will be recommending book. Especially to my friends with literature and music degrees.

I listened to the audiobook as I was driving to visit my friends. I actually really enjoyed this book. Lauren Oliver is great at creating a very vivid world and a creepy vibe.

The characters were not as well developed as some of her other books, but I still found them interesting.

The plot itself went along at a nice pace. It was quick but not so fast that you don't know what is happening.

Overall, it is a great read!

Got to be one of Tarantino's worst movies, 2 hrs 40 minutes and literally nothing happens till the last 10 minutes. It looks great and has a typically diverse QT soundtrack but is basically one big long rambling boring ego trip. There must have been at least 30 minutes of screen time consisting of Brad Pitt just driving around Hollywood . Pulp Fiction it most definitely isn't. Hugely overrated and almost certainly wouldn't have been made if it were anyone else but Tarantino.
