Fabulous acting (2 more)
Wonderful cinematography
Complexity of human relations
Another beautiful film from the master Almodovar
Pedro Almodovar has such a wonderful eye for understanding the human condition. Unlike his more outlandish colourful films, this is about the tragic relationships of estranged families and the breakdown in communications. Written in the perspective of a mother whose daughter left or went missing 12 years previously, the film shows her writing a letter to her daughter about all the mistakes she made in that relationship including erasing her from her life. Really very moving and poignant.

I learned a lot about the Obama's from this book. I think the book is an inspiration to anyone who has big dreams...if you set your mind to it, you can do it. The author could have left out some things to focus more on the relationship. The story of their wedding was a page...I would have liked to know more about those days and the birth not their children as opposed to so much involving just the political aspect. Overall I enjoyed the book...although more informative than enjoyable.

Wow! I just finished this and don't really know what to say. The relationship between Julian and Grace was perfectly done and I loved every second of this book! The only reason I'm not giving it a ten is that there were some things I thought could have been written better or elongated. Other than that, I absolutely loved reading this and can't wait to get to the others! Maybe when it's not so fresh I'll be able to think of some other things to write, but not right now. :P

Goes Well With The Book
I would highly suggest seeing this movie if you enjoyed the book. It was a good adaptation, and even if you haven't read the book the movie is great. Stella and Will's relationship is a doomed romance, but you can't help cheering for them.
I see a lot of people comparing this to The Fault in Our Stars, but this is a very different story. It will probably appel to a similar audience, but you won't leave feeling as if you have seen this movie before.

fantastic read
This is the first book in this series by this author. Another amazing read by this author. This is a princess and the pauper mixed with forbidden love romance read. The characters were really well written and there relationship was beautifully written. The chemistry between the characters is so intense. This story is full of angst, romance, steam, suspense and loads of drama. I can't wait to continue this story in the next book "Harbor".

Feb 9, 2018
This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.
CBorden (67 KP) rated The Hunter’s Prayer (2017) in Movies
Feb 6, 2018
Sam Worthington pushes himself as an assassin hired to kill a teenage girl as he struggles to face his own demons - addiction, his past as a soldier, and his lack of relationship with his own teenage daughter. The movie is action from start to finish with not a lot of great suspense or unexpected plot twists. However, for an action flick, its rather mild presentation (minimal swearing, not overly graphic, no unnecessary sexual content) plus the realistic potrayal of the emotions the hunter and the hunted must work through, this is an enjoyable movie!

Wondefully Written
Clive, the cat
Very steamy and full of lots of laugh out loud moments
I LOVE this book. It is one of the most addictive romance novels I've ever read. The story of Caroline and Simon's budding relationship is exciting and raw. The best thing about this book is the hilariously relatable protagonist, Caroline, and her adventures in juggling her career, her baking, and her extremely loud neighbor. Would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance novels that offer sexiness and a good chuckle every now and then.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop (Mr. Monk, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Monk is downsized when the SFPD is forced to cut their budget. But he lands on his feet at a private firm that is more than willing to pay him and Natalie handsomely. Will Monk still be able to solve a string of murders in the city? As always, Natalie and Monk's relationship is so rich in this book. The characters are great, the plot is strong, and the laughs are plentiful.

I love this book. Though it the third book in the series. I would love to read book 1 and two. This book deals with someone who struggling to deal with herself and her Illness a bit and building a relationship. This book does go into several thing about dealing the illness and how to over come it and several different issues. I really do believe the author did a great job. I will let you decide it you ever want to read it and come away with your own thoughts on it.
