LET ME JUST TELL YOU. I have been an avid fan of Gilmore Girls for as long as I can remember. I have watched the entire series from start to finish at least 3 times now. And this book. THIS BOOK. I feel MORE connected to the show than I have ever before. I feel more connected to the characters. I feel just... satisfied. But at the same time I need to know more.
I laughed. I cried. I felt inspired. If you are even the slightest fan of Gilmore Girls or Lauren Graham in general, READ. THIS. BOOK. It is vital.

I had never heard about this true crime cases till I come upon Ann Marie Ackermann most excellent book. The story begins in the German town of Bonnigheim in the year 1835 where the town is left shocked by the assassination of its most respected citizen it's mayor. The reader follows the twists and turns of the muder investigation as a killer is searched for.
Eventually the investigation leads to the other side of the world and to one of Americans most respected Civil War heroes General Robert E Lee. The author has produced an excellent well researched study of the case and I would highly recommend this to other readers .

Back in Time
Girl: "OMG, hey!! I haven't seen you for so long"
Me: "Hi, I know its been a while"
Girl: "You look so different! You weren't like this before, you've changed..."
This is a conversation I have so many times with old school friends, family members who haven't seen me for a while or general passers-by that like to give me their opinions. I always find that statement odd "you've changed". Like I should remain the same two-dimensional person my entire life. When people tell me I've changed, I usually reply with "I hope so!"

Erik Larson is one of the popular historian writers that I really like. He builds a very big picture of the times, and what was going on in general, outside of H.H. Holmes' murder house. I enjoy knowing the whole picture to put everything into context. Holmes himself is terrifying, and creepily sophisticated for his time.
If you're expecting a book purely based upon Holmes murders, I would not suggest this. Larson builds a huge picture with rich historical detail, which isn't some people's jams. This book is more so about the Worlds' Fair, and how the murder house took advantage of the slight upheaval.

Post war blues
When a soldier is made to feel heroic by the media and general public, we see a broke and conflicted young man battling the horrors of war. I caught this film by accident and stayed up as the storyline grabbed my attention and exposed the difficulties in returning from war a different and damaged version of yourself. The pressure to return home and the pressure of winning and returning to the war zone create a conflict worse than the war itself.
Some great scenes that show the price put on a soldiers story being nothing compared to what it costs then to gain it.

I'm quite familiar with the source material of this film, as I'm currently assistant directing the play. So with that at the forefront of my mind, I was not a very big fan of this film. The play that inspired this film, has so much rich dialogue and subtext, and it speaks to the heart of any person listening. So I was quite disappointed when the film lacked most of that depth and decided to drop the most exquisite parts of the play in favor of the dull pieces. Not a big fan, will not re-watch. Also, the quality of the filming was poor in general. Ghastly foley work.
