Book Rating
The infamous Lizzie Borden was the woman the public (but not a jury) believed murdered her father and stepmother with an axe. Since the science of forensics at the time was primitive at best, they found neither proof of Lizzie's guilt or any other suspects. That means we will never know the whole truth. Sarah Schmidt has her own ideas about Lizzie Borden, her family and the murders, all of which she put into her debut novel "See What I Have Done." Read my review of this fascinating book here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/06/10/the-clock-on-the-mantle-ticked-ticked/

Well. That was quite a journey. And not to the center of the earth this time. Once more, The Rock showes us he can make a bad fall watchable, dare I say, enjoyable?
I know that this is not really a "good" movie, but dam did I enjoy it. I laughed, I groaned, I shouted at the TV about the sheer "in your face science!" of the logic. And I had a good time doing it.
As bad movies go, this one is a gooden!

Fantastically poignant ending

Ahead of his time. A must for sci fi fans
If you like science fiction read this. This is part of our history, part of the beginning. So much other great literature sprang from and was inspired by this novel.
Detailed believable culture and characters that despite living in the dystopian world created by Huxley are relatable and real. Flawed humans trying to find meaning to their existence.
No spoilers...just read it.
