"Seeing House for the first time is probably my fondest film-watching experience of the past couple of years. I’m drawn to the idea of creative purity, something House emanates in a way no other horror film I’ve ever seen does. That’s if you can even call it a horror film (the director himself doesn’t). Obayashi found his own moviemaking solution to Picasso’s lifelong goal of creating like a child: sourcing ideas for the script from his ten-year-old daughter. The result is a heartful, imaginative, creepy, weird, and wonderful dream come to life. It’s sort of like John Hughes, Miyazaki, Evil Dead 2–era Sam Raimi, and bizarre 1970s children’s TV rolled into one. The score in its more sincere moments is also incredible. I’m still in the totally infatuated honeymoon stage with this one, recommending it to people any chance I get."

"This would be from when I did 'Sisters Of Mercy' for the film Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man. I was so happy to be given that song. I love Leonard Cohen; I've always loved him, grew up around that music. He is the most extraordinary lyricist, but he, as well, creates such a mood with his music. It's like nothing else. He belongs in my life as a writer and as a singer. I suppose this record, again, it's actually quite similar to Joni Mitchell; not brilliantly imaginative on my part to begin with, but just every single song is a classic. I've read bits and pieces of his poetry and he's an extraordinary poet. It's poignant, and there's humour, coupled with the pathos. He's a poet, he's an extraordinary writer and singer and beautiful man, and, what can I say? Is that enough?"

For the first 290-odd pages I was going to give it a 2 or 3 star because although she'd been remembering new things every day with the help of her diary entries, I can't say that much story altering things had happened to Christine.

But then those last 80 pages or so! Those 80 pages certainly made it four star worthy for me. Was not quite expecting that to be the truth of it but it certainly made it exciting after some of the quite repetitive things that happened in the book.

I knew something was a little iffy somewhere, I just wasn't expecting <b>that!</b> I wish I could go into more detail but it would totally ruin the story for those of you wanting to read it so I'll have to be very vague I'm afraid.

Very imaginative and really good for a debut story!
