graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Lady of Palenque : Flower of Bacal, Mesoamerica, A.D. 749 in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I read around fifty pages before I decided to quit. The story was rather boring and the numerous names were confusing, so I had a hard time keeping everyone straight. I think the main problem was that the author got bogged down with historical details - names, descriptions, what was going to happen, and even things that didn't really matter and forgot to tell the story. I think there probably is some interesting stuff in here, but frankly, I don't care to wade through the rest of the book to find it. However, I did read the epilogue and historical notes, and found them very interesting. That is the best part of the book.

EPIC
Tom Hanks plays Forrest Gump plays a young man who is very slow but, smart growing up in the south during the 60's with his mom (Field). His life through school, the Vietnam war where he befriends his LT (Sinise), his lust for the love of his life Jenny (wright), to coming home and becoming the shrimp king of the world and just on more historical adventures.
The movie is kind of set to Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire" as a ton of these historical events take place during this movie in which forrest has some connection with. The movie aslo has one of the best 60's soundtracks set to it of all time.
