Bookapotamus (289 KP) rated Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood in Books

May 25, 2018

Even if you've seen the movie - I still recommend reading the story! It's a sonnet to true friends, and family (especially mother-daughter dynamics), the scars of abusive relationships, and how these all intertwined can shape and change everyone involved. It's also funny! :)

Siddalee delves into her mothers past, curious about the Ya-Ya Sisters and their secrets. She finds out so much about her mother, and in addition, about herself. Her mother just might grow up a little along the way as well.

I love the Ya-Ya stories and I re-read them often, hoping Rebecca Wells might just write another!

Well I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett book and his stories about the discworld transport you to this amazing place.
He has a dark sense of humour that you can see throughout his books.
Wyrd sisters is one of my favourites of his Books. This is the first in a series of his books about three witches. It's funny right from the start and the complexity of his characters always amaze me.
If you like a book with good characters, funny jokes and a touch of magic then this is the books for you.

Basic!

This is a story of a young girl struggling to adjust to her new life, new school, new family, out if the blue the two step sisters are made to spend the day together where they don't stick to the plan and go off for a small adventure with some friends but end up scuba diving where things go from bad to worse, a few jumpy bits I didn't expect. The story line it's self was really good I did however think the sharks didn't look all that real, on the whole it was a good watch.

Movie Rating

Cult mash-up of Day of the Triffids and The Omega Man is engaging enough to make you overlook how brazen it is. Teenage sisters improbably survive the end of the world: time to load up with automatic weapons, hit the shops and argue about boys!

Handles its genre movie conventions with knowing deftness, but after a strong first act the pace slacks off a bit too much and it feels like the movie loses focus - faster and funnier would be better. Recovers somewhat for the climax, though. Ultimately, this is only ever superficial, but it's also undeniably good fun.
