Pure and raw emotions about grief and loss (0 more)

Bundle of pain and sadness

Finished this little bundle of sadness and pain today. If you have recently lost someone, whether it be through death or otherwise, please give this book a read. Coming from an author of older age, I was not expecting it to be this raw and emotional, and yet here I am- sitting in a daze rethinking my entire life. Do not let the title fool you like it fooled my therapy book club group- ‘magical’ in this case is not meant to denote happiness.

Very real emotions

Get your tissues ready

I really enjoyed this movie and being able to connect with the main character. This movie was executed well and played off characters strengths and weaknesses wonderfully, highlighting how body issues are felt by everyone. Some of the subplots and supporting roles could have been developed further, and further insight into the main characters feelings would have solidified this movie a little bit more.

Overall, a sweet movies with a great message that will leave its target audience a more than a little weepy.

This is the second book I have read by this author, and I am in love with the writing style. The story is a simple tale of thinking back on life, fitting together the pieces of how you got to where you are in life, but the themes touch upon harsh truths and hit my emotions hard! Ishiguro has an amazing talent for creating a world that feels real with a tinge of the dreamlike. His consistent theme of memory is played out beautiful from story to story. I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it.

Hulk is my favourite marvel superhero

The Incredible Hulk is so understated in my opinion. I love the whole idea of science experiment gone wrong. The story and emotions are quite complex which makes it interesting.

I just genuinely think the power to smash things is super cool.

I think the cinematic value is low and would have been better in more recent times. I am excited and hopeful that Hulk is developed further once more marvel content is released. I feel his relationship with Natasha could be developed to make him a more useable hero.
