I didn't get past page one before I hated this novel. The movie was okay, but the book is just terrible. Written in first person, switching between Nick and Norah, I was reminded how pathetic and obnoxious high schoolers can be, especially when they thing they know everything.

I don't even feel like ranting about this novel.

Excellent movie, best ending compared to novel
This is a great movie. They did a solid job selecting the cast (So many Walking Deads!). The dialogue and whatnot is on point. I even liked the creature effects! And, honestly, in comparison to the novel(la), the ending of The Mist movie is so much more powerful and well done.

This graphic novel is one of many from Marvel featuring Disneyworld/Disneyland properties, or, in the case of this graphic novel, one that never came to fruition. The synopsis sounded cool, I'm down for weird museums in general... However, this ended up just not being very interesting at all. It had potential, but overall, it failed.

**This book is NOT for kids!** Likely Stories in an interesting graphic novel. There are four odd short stories in the book, each a little more twisted than the others in various ways. It's an interesting read, if you're a Neil Gaiman fan, or if you're looking for a very adult graphic novel that isn't about superheroes.

"I’ve read this book several times. As a writer, I am in awe of Márquez’s genius. The first sentence reveals the gist of the entire novel, and yet everything in this love story is surprising. I would count this as the most romantic novel I’ve read. It is the family legend of undying love we all wish we had."

Once again, Patrick Gale has written a novel that tugs at our heartstrings - and in this case, also plays on the strings of the cello! This beautifully written coming-of-age story is both poignant and uplifting. You can read my full review of this novel on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/02/09/tempo-of-progression/
