It's not groundbreaking but it isn't bad.
I enjoyed reading this book as the author made one of the characters so unlikable that anytime something bad happened to him, I'd cheer it on.

I'm not going to say that the book is fantastic because I personally found some parts of it rather boring but if you want a book to burn through quickly, this is a good choice.

"Buñuel is my first deep love in cinema. He is the adult that pulled the plug on the human art of pretending. He blazes through the hypocrisy at the heart of our bourgeois lives mercilessly—no one is sacred, no ideal or moral is spared. He is perfectly modern, bold, and clear. I found myself laughing in joy and amazement. He understands human nature while refusing to sentimentalize it."

"I think it’s the scariest movie I’ve ever seen. It was supposedly shot in Hattenfield, IL and I lived in a small town in Illinois. I just found it just horrifying. I still, to this day, find it incredibly horrifying; the music gives me the chills. The actual street, though is here in Hollywood right by our Blockbuster. So I always look down there. “I don’t see Michael Myers…”"

"This is the first book that has literally taken my breath away. I kept having to close it and breathe deeply, again and again. I read The Book of Longings right after my own book Untamed made its way into the world, and found Ana of Sue Monk Kidd's masterpiece to be a breathtakingly Untamed woman. This book—on women’s longing and silencing and awakening—is a true and beautiful masterpiece."

"One of the books I found in the bookshelves flanking the fireplace in our living room. I was 12 and interested in the world of adults and the secrets they kept from children. I still remember a steamy scene involving an eagle, one I must have read hundreds of times. Fortunately, my parents placed no restrictions on what books I could read. In our house reading was a good thing."
