2023 historical-crime-drama-romance, set in 1850s Australia and following (mainly) Jack Dawkins, aka The Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist, circa 20 years on from the events of that novel,

Well worth a watch!

Book Favorite

"Okay, so I knew Lauren Oliver was a good writer, but damn! They weren't kidding when they compared this book to "The Tale of Desperaux" (which I also loved!) or "The Graveyard Book" (which I didn't finish, but found a scene very similar to the opening - it involved Bod Fading/Vanishing). Oliver's just a great storyteller, I had just gotten the book early morning at BEA and found that while waiting on line, I kept searching through my multiple tote bags to find this one so I can take advantage of the reading time instead of mingling with other fans on line. This hadn't happened to me for the two days I was there. My favorite characters were easily Liesl, Po, BUNDLE! and Will - who are the four obvious go-to-characters to have as your favorites, but their narratives were great. Different to Oliver's other novels, she wrote in third person and covered other characters beside her main, going so far to write about a guard named Mo (short for Molasses since he's so slow) and Mrs. Snout, owner of Snout's Inn and Restaurant. I'm excited to put this in the hands of my middle-grade peeps come this October, but any other lover of Lauren Oliver or YA will appreciate this story just as much. It has heart, deals with grief, and delivers questions about the Other Side as Oliver freshly explores it. "On the third night after the day her father died, Liesl saw the ghost." You'll ineffably thank me for recommending this. It's hands-down one of my favorite middle-grade stories and I'm already desperately eager to reread it."

Fascinating and tragic - a journey into the human brain
Oliver Sacks, the late eminent British neurologist, is wonderfully curious and compassionate while journeying into people's experiences of the human brain. It is both humorous in some aspects but mostly tragic and terrifying to see how fragile human beings truly are. It is explained in the simplest of terms, though there is still a lot of scientific jargon. And some particular cases such as the disembodied woman and the man with nightmares is rather frightening. Fantastic read.

It is ok.
I just don't get the gushing about this film. It's ok, just not much more than that. The stories don't develop much from their side stories. It's all a little flat and although you liked it, it could have reached the heights of Oliver, Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryet Al but won't be looked fondly back on in thirty years to come as those were

Album Favorite

"Who Will Buy?' turns into an awesome round, "ripe strawberries, ripe!" It's good, Oliver! is pretty flawless. It's the same as The Sound Of Music: these are classics for a reason. You know every single fucking song. You've been brought up with it. It's a shame Bill Sikes doesn't have a song, and I wonder if that's because Lionel Bart understanding that when a character sings a song they are given some kind of motivation for their acts. He is the most evil character."
