Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)
2003 | Action, Drama, War
Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.

And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.

Hornblower this isn't.

Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.

I can't lie - I felt a thrill when I realized Tarryn had written from Leah's point of view, after I freaked out, of course! As much as I hate Leah, I loved reading from the villain's perspective. All the twists and turns, all the lies, it was all in epic proportions and there was no way I could predict what was next. Despite that tiny thrill, I was happy to get away from her evil thoughts and endless plots.

Classic Chiller!
Classic chiller from Peter Straub. An epic tale about a group of ageing men who form The Chowder Society, a place where they share ghosts stories between them, and are united by a terrible secret from the past. Expertly written, solid characters, and genuinely creepy, this is Peter Staub on top form. Essential reading!
Note: If you enjoy this I seriously recommend his equally fantastic ghost story Full Circle (aka Julia/ The Haunting of Julia).

The Lord of the Rings was my favorite book series growing up. I compare all of the books that I read to Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien spent so much time and effort on these books, that is it is easy to see just how incredible they are. The Return of the King does a fantastic job of wrapping up the series and giving us the epic conclusion that we are looking for. Fantastic book!
