Gives a good portrayal based on the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. Some pretty big cast names. The plot is predictable yet not predictable at the same time. The cast give great performances but the whole thing goes a bit slow for my taste... Mildly reminiscent of shutter Island imo.

Overall it was good but needs a bit of effort to keep full attention.

Was a good idea for a book (1 more)
The beginning seemed exciting and I was pulled in
But then it kept dragging out at certain stages, for which I could see no reason? (1 more)
You get a about 1/3 through the book and think that you know what the ending will be... you are right
A good story... but it was waaay too dragged out for my taste

The writing
Longer than it needed to be (1 more)
I kept waiting for interesting things to happen at times
It was good, but longer than needed
This was the first Gaiman book I ever read. Overall I did enjoy the story but it seemed to take 200 pages to tell a story that could have been done in about half. Perhaps that’s just my taste.

"I love musicals, and so one that features the Village People AND Bruce Jenner is my kind of movie. Bruce didn’t do much else, but where can you go from there? It’s like the guy who wrote the Bible, where are you going to go? Margaret Mitchell had the good taste to get hit by a car. She knew she could never top Gone with the Wind."

Watched today this is a funny roadtrip movie about two lesbians and what they find in the trunk of their car no spoilers as to what that is but I couldn't stop laughing at the discovery. This is the first time that ethan cohen has directed a movie without Joel his brother. Anyway good movie but maynot be for everyone's taste

Taste of Beirut by Joumana Accad is an incredibly comprehensive introduction to preparing Lebanese cuisine. Taste of Beirut is a love story of history, culture, and food simply blossoming chapter after chapter, after chapter. The passion for the food, culture, and people left me with the deep desire to whip out my passport and take a trip across the world.

By reading this book, I learned a lot about the Lebanese cuisine. With each recipe there is a high quality picture that accompanies it. Throughout the book there are explanations and translation of ingredients, essential do's and don'ts, helpful notes included with nearly every recipe. Also included is how to prepare and store commonly used ingredients to make cooking quicker and easier. Recipes are straightforward, and dishes look very flavorful.

I received this book from HCI Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
