Fight For What You Love The Most

Remember The Titans- is a excellent movie. Its powerful, moving, heartwarming, dramatic, family-moving, and based on a true story. Also it has a excellent cast. Both Denzel Washington and Will Patton are excellent. I didnt realize that Ryan Gosling was in this. He is so young in this. Anyways its a excellent football movie.

The plot: In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test.

Its excellent.

3.5 stars.

I was enjoying this for the first 60% or so but then it started to annoy me how they were dragging it all out. Why couldn't they just admit they wanted more from each other? Why couldn't they just get together?!

It took until about the 85% mark for me to get into it again and with it being on Scribd that I read this, it ended at the 91% so it was pretty close to the end when everything was working out and the HEA was within reach.

I will be reading the next book, [b:Beautiful Player|17831614|Beautiful Player (Beautiful Bastard, #3)|Christina Lauren|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1375285002s/17831614.jpg|24948167], at some point when I get back off holiday as it's part of a Reading list that I'm working through on BookLikes: http://booklikes.com/apps/reading-lists/146/books-to-fall-in-love-with

Book Rating

Highly rated which was disappointing!

First of all, I tend to finish books relatively quickly even when working full time etc. I am currently on holiday which is when I read most and it has taken me a significant amount of time to finish this book.

I'll start with the good points: the book is easy to read and follow and it has nice ending. It was interesting reading about the judicial system in particular the focus on the jury but ultimately the book was highly disappointing especially after it has been reviewed rather highly. The story was ridiculously unlikely, which led to no attachment to the story. The characters were mundane and I genuinely felt no connection or emotion to them. The ending was quite predictable and lacked the wow factor.

In my opinion it is not worth the time it takes to read the book.
