"A powerful journey through despair and silence. A magnificent reflection on death and the meaning of life, as well as the ways life sometimes unveils its beauty—by, say, the taste of cherries that have fallen from a tree, a tree shaken by a man who was planning to hang himself on one of its branches but who remembered, when savoring these wild berries, that life is worth living. Long single takes, car scenes (for which Kiarostami is famous, and rightfully so). A gem. Must see. Now, please."

Again, my complaint that Goodreads doesn't allow half-star ratings. Roomhate gets a 4.5/5 stars for me! I absolutely loved the story, from beginning to end. Who doesn't enjoy a relationship where love is forbidden and the sexual tension is thick enough to taste? The ending was beautiful - no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I wanted to immediately unread just so I could re-read it all over again and enjoy the pure sunshine it put into my soul. That's literally how happy the ending made me.

I bought this for my nieces to read on their joint Kindle to see if they liked the series and I thought I'd give it a go myself. I did read the first book in this series several years ago and enjoyed it but it isn't totally to my taste so I never went any further with it.

It was quick and rather fun. Percy is tasked with fetching one of Apollo's backing singers back from her escape to New York City where she's hoping to go solo.

Suprise

This isn't my typical music taste, but honestly, this is such a unique record, it's an actual rollercoaster. You go from the deepest deeps to the highest highs - this is truly a spoken word/poetic magnificence.

Not overly keen on the more 'synth' tracks like Ugly Kid, All in My Head and Sorry, My dear. Even though, typing this now, those songs are still saved by the trumpets - who'd have thought it.

You & the cockroach is an absolute bop.

But otherwise, this album is fantastic and definitely worth a listen
