The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Sweetness #9: A Novel in Books

Oct 7, 2020

I've long touted that artificial sweeteners are poison. Here's a novel that takes that basic premise, brings it into the world of fiction, and watches to see what happens when one of those sweeteners is found to be a real problem.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Sleeping Patterns in Books

Oct 7, 2020

Have we found another Ondaatje? J.R. Crook's debut novel might just remind you of his style, but is ultimately unique. The brevity of the book does nothing if not emphasize the power of the prose and impact of its meaning. You can read my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/04/08/a-dream-within-a-dream/

I saw Charlize Theron, that's it, it was sold to me. She is incredible when it comes to action movies. True badass. I really liked the action that this film had to offer, but I found the plot boring. There was no intrigue, everything very predictable. I loved the ending though, and would like to see another part.

Book Favorite

"Published in 1955, this delightful book was a gift from my Aunt Lee who worked at Cokesbury Bookstore. She sent us lots of books at Christmas. I loved Eloise’s pug, Weenie and her turtle, Skipperdee—often lost, but always found. I got an Eloise doll that Christmas too. Hilary Knight’s whimsical illustrations bring to life this unforgettable character."

I think that this is genuinely the best possible outcome this film could have had. It has two wonderful lead performances, and although the emotional beats are undeniably cliche and there is little originality to be found, it never took me out of the experience. Definitely one of my favorites from 2020.

Also, J.K. Simmons is a treasure.
