I have already read the book Diet Land and was obsessed so I had to get my hands on this read. Looking at the cover I thought I would be reading a western and turns out this is more of a cursed ghost story about a family who made there legacy selling firearms. All the women in the family are curse and can't get married without death in the family. The book is set in the 1950s so the only way to escape their curse home is through marriage, so do the ladies have much of a choice? There are five sister in the book and after the first one gets married she dies and never gets to live life aftr escaping their mentally ill mother and alcoholic father. The mother is haunted by the souls of the people killed by the Chapel's firearm fortune and the sister's are close to one another since they didn't have parents who were able to care for them or keep them company. Will the sister's find a way to escape their haunted past?! So difficult to not give all the spoilers!!

"Taking a slight turn, I love the John Wayne film The Quiet Man. It’s quite something. It’s a John Ford movie, it’s John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. It’s kind of like John Wayne’s Brigadoon. He plays this boxer who killed a man in the ring in the States, and so, to escape his past, he moves to his ancestral little home in Ireland. It’s this quaint little village, and I believe it’s called Innisfree — I know Innisfree is from a Yeats poem, and it sort of represents the small Irish town of heaven; it’s sort of a fantastical place — but the town in The Quiet Man is Innisfree, which makes sense. So he goes there to escape his past, falls in love, of course, with Maureen O’Hara — who wouldn’t? — and her brother turns out to be the enormous, pugilistic, evil, Bluto-like landlord. So the movie cannot be resolved, nor can their love, without one final fistfight. It’s funny; just the other day, I sent a message to my agent, “Remake idea: The Quiet Man?” I have two fists. I can swagger."

I love shark movies as much as the next guy. But this is poor by anyones anyones standard. It's slow to start with little to nothing happening and uninteresting characters. By the time they get to the "suspense" I'm already bored, I'm waiting for an oversized tooth fest of glorious sharkness. But what is delivered is sub par, new character shows up to immediately be taken out. Also the amount these 4 girls scream and heavy breather youd think they would be out of oxygen in 5 minutes. But carrying on they engage more drama being trapped under water with less oxygen than they started, exciting. So to provide suspense they find a safe pocket of air and one girl goes off to find help. Classic of course, so she finds a new character, who is immediately taken out. Seems the movie has a theme going here. Moving on they try to escape the cave systems and eventually find the dad character and they're gonna escape. But wait, pointless selfishness overcomes the group as the one individual who started the problems then costs them their chance to escape and the only saving grace is she dies as a result. After that there are some more unbelievable deaths, I suppose they're meant to shock you but honestly they're so daft it's just confusing an pointless. The ending is the best part they're saved no they're not they're saved etc and she fights a shark with a shark tooth. Otherwise its dull drawn out and predictable. Would not recommend.
