Chris Klein recommended The Hustler (1961) in Movies (curated)

1961 | Drama, Romance

"Really for me, it’s Paul Newman in The Hustler. When I watched The Hustler, and it’s Jackie Gleason… You know, we know Jackie Gleason from The Honeymooners, but you have to know Jackie Gleason from The Hustler. When I watched that movie as an actor and as a lover of acting, again, those performances from those two men are standalone performances. My father is a big reason why, because I fell in love with acting very early on, and my dad introduced me to the actors that he grew up watching, and I had the opportunity, watching these films, to really get a master class in being an actor. Listen, I just turned 35 in March, and my goal is to become an actor capable of telling the type of stories that Paul Newman got to tell, and that Redford got to tell, and that Cary Grant and those guys got to tell. You know, you talk about the comedy and the mystery and the intrigue and the drama; these guys honed in on it all. And when I watched The Hustler, out of the long list of amazing performances that Paul Newman gives, to me, that movie just stands alone."

Fated Always is the fourth book in The Fated Series and we meet up with Sawyer and Tala, best friends forever, as they try to navigate the stormy waters of friendship turned something more. Add to that, Tala has the ability to speak and understand the wolves. One fly in the mixture is Tala's boyfriend, Derrick Sloane.

Although this is the fourth book in the series, you can read it as a standalone. I have only read book three before this, and Jenna and Gabe make appearances in here too, but nothing that you 'need' to know to follow this story.

The story is easy to follow, with a few red herrings to throw you off course. The scenes, characters, and situations are clear enough to enable the reader to see them clearly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have no hesitation in recommending it. I thought the supernatural element was brilliant but I just would have loved to find out about the mysterious wolf before I finished Tala and Sawyer's book!

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *
