Maybe it's just because I couldn't get out of the south fast enough, but this book is way to focued on the southern cuisine for my taste. I wish it had branched out a bit. She is however a southerner so I guess it's to be expected.

I'm southern (though I do now live in Mass.)...so I guess that's why I didn't like this one. There was nothing new (to me) or original about it.
I am sure it would be good for someone who didn't grow-up in the south surrounded daily by these exact foods.

'Ok' is a perfect word to describe the second installment in the Southern Reach Trilogy. I was expecting something a lot like Annihilation. But, this novel was office-based and kind of boring. The last part of the book was the most exciting, after slogging through the first parts. This novel is about the Southern Reach itself, and it's impending collapse. Is the border advancing? What is Area X? Welp, this book still wasn't sure about these questions. The only reason I'm going to complete the series is that I want to know what Area X is.
At least in this installment, they finally use the term 'alien', it only took a book and a half.

Very good film (true story) about a southern white family takes in a homeless black child - teaches him about life and makes him welcome. Sandra Bullock is brilliant as the feisty mum, the little boy was good too (don't know the actor's name). Good family viewing and yes it might make you cry.
