EmersonRose (320 KP) rated Never Let Me Go in Books

I love reading this book. I found the world that Ishiguro created to be well built where while it had the aspect of fantastical or sci-fi, it really felt real. From beginning to end I really felt connected to the characters, and I loved the way in which the book was written as Kathy thinks back on her childhood. Ishiguro is certainly a master at writing story that has an organic flow of the way in which people think back on memories, pieces connected bast on subject and feeling rather than in a linear form. I would highly recommend giving this book a read.

If this were a beauty pageant we've just lost

This looked a class act just from the trailer and the full film doesn't disappoint. Based on the true story of how 2 men helped Ford design a Car to challenge the dominance of Ferrari. The chemistry between the Damon and Bale is great. The driving and race scenes look great, giving you the feel as if you are behind the wheel at times. It's a quality and all round well made film. If you liked @Rush (2013) check this out as it has a similar feel to it.

On a family holiday Jeremy takes his son out for the day. His marriage isn't doing too well and he's been having an affair, which triggers a sequence of events when his son finds something unexpected...

Rag Doll is a short story that plays with the reader as much as with the characters, in the same way a cat will play with an unfortunate mouse. This is a quick read but Scarberry uses the format well, in essence providing a sketch of the story and getting the reader to fill in the details.

Hard to say more without giving anything away. But definitely worth a read. Very thought provoking.

Takes most of the movie to figure out what's going on. (0 more)

It is about a little girl who is not allowed to go outside, it's dangerous out there. You're wondering through half the movie, why can't she go outside cause everything seems normal out there. Without giving away anything, she does end up getting outside without her father seeing her and you learn what's actually going on. It is better than how I described it, but I didn't want to give it away. There are a couple of bloody parts in it too. It really was a good movie when you finally figured out what's going on.
