Normally, I love journalists writing non-fiction, but this was awful. I was completely annoyed reading this book, thank god it was a short one. It tells the story of the 'last hermit', and the guy was just not likeable nor compelling. By midway, I didn't care why he decided to be a hermit. That's when I should have stopped reading. But, I didn't. Overall: woof. I'm never reading anything by Finkel ever again.

An Interesting Approach to Sci-Fi
I'll be honest, I've heard some pretty crappy reviews about this movie so I went into it expecting it to be pretty awful. However, it wasn't. I found this to be an interesting movie about self-discovery and the bond between father and son. The visuals and CGI work were astounding. While it wasn't as fantastic as some science fiction movies I've seen, it was undoubtedly a good one.

[One Came Home] by [Amy Timberlake] is a highly acclaimed book. I really liked the historic aspects. I did not know people hunted pigeons. Also the character of Georgie is a strong, headed individual. I just felt the first half of the book was like a soap opera. I wanted more details about events and less about the relationship muddle of her sister. I like my historic fiction to have more history.
