Book Rating
There are multiple POVs, and Carmack handles them very well in third person omniscient. I was never turned around or confused about whose perspective I was in, and there was never an ‘okay, can we get back to the other storyline??’ moment.

I am a very picky person so naturally I was laser focused on everything and the only negative thing I could find was that there were a couple of moments where the CGI looked very clearly like it was done on computer.

What I liked - the characters, the bookstore, some of the language. What I didn't like - the amount of time it took to get to the heart of the matter. Something about the conflict avoidance in this book felt off to me

Throughout the book Mary builds up the story and leads you to believe the ending will be just as good. I felt that this book has SOOOO much potential but was very let down with how it ended.

The detail from physical description to mannerisms, not to mention the background scenery, made me feel like I was watching the story as I was reading it. A beautiful story worth reading and soaking up like sunshine itself. The Sunshine Sisters.

A handful of cute or funny moments do lie inside the movie, just not enough of them. As a kid’s film, parents could do worse, much worse, but that doesn’t necessarily make for the most ringing of endorsements.

There were a few lines that were not the same as the books but the acting was pretty good. I thought Manny was actually a pretty good actor even though he had a stunt double and he was about five.

To be honest, I didn’t want to rate this book because I loved it for how it provoked me to think, but little things like the pacing, which was understandably slow, made me give it a 4.25 star rating.
  
Planet Earth  - Season 1
Planet Earth - Season 1
2007 | Documentary
Planet Earth also uses flawless time-lapse photography to show climate and seasonal changes -- like a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert or the transformation of parched desert land in Africa into a lush feeding ground for species of all shapes and sizes.

The Big Sick (2017)
The Big Sick (2017)
2017 | Comedy, Drama, Romance
That authenticity is what makes the film so enchanting. That’s what Showalter is so good at presenting. His films – even in their overt quirkiness – never come across as anything but sincere. He doesn’t appear in The Big Sick. Nor did he write it.
