Not the best Will Ferrell movie, not the best Adam McKay movie... not even the best Will Ferrell *and* Adam McKay movie. It's sloppy, looks like utter crap, and the comedy is largely hit or miss (the Steve Carell stuff particularly - working at about one hit for every four misses). All that being said however, when this does hit it's absolutely fucking hilarious and features some of the most cripplingly funny moments I've ever seen in a comedy film (that scene with Ferrell, Armisen, and the cat poop is an all-timer). What this lacks in presentation and consistency it makes up for admirably in categorical absurdity. If this were more polished it'd be a deadpan hall-of-famer about a bunch of colorful (literally and figuratively), dopey goofballs dabbling in real proud juvenility. Instead it ends up being a really good comedy, but there's room for some refining. You won't see me complaining about that too much, though. The cameos are close to flawless.

This book picks up a year after the last book ends. If you haven't read the first book it would help but you don't have too, although you might be a little confused about the Squirrel People. (If you choose to read "A Dirty Job", go ahead and read "Coyote Blue" too)
I dislike the main character, Charlie, a bit in this, he's a bit of a prick in this book even if it is slightly understandable it is annoying.
I admit I came quite close to throwing the book across the room and if I said why I'd have to hit the spoiler button.
A good read that has some witty moments but is a little more meandering than his other books. I read it on vacation so I was able to easily pick it up and put it down without getting confused or losing my spot.
All in all a good book but not his best.

The Bell Chime
By Mona Kabbani
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Can you hear the bell chime?"

A girl suffering from paralyzing night terrors finds a missing poster hanging from the door of her apartment building. On that poster is a photograph of a frighteningly familiar face.

It’s her.

Only, she’s never seen this photo before and something about its grin scares her. How its eyes seem to follow her no matter where she finds herself in the room.

Over a series of strange events to follow—events that will make her question whether her sanity is still there or fleeting—she must discover:

What is real and what is the nightmare?


This was eerily sad in so many ways. As someone who deals with psychosis and depression it struck home so hard! The question in the the foreword is thought provoking what exactly would you give up for peace of mind or happiness? Really well written.
