"I admire all of Dickens's novels, but this story of class, guilt, shame and desire is the one that's affected me most. It often pops up in my own writing, in ways I never expect."

"“Every time I read Bolaño I feel so inspired, I just want to write…He’s a genius – the expansiveness he creates, how he relates one book to another – he’s set a new template for writing"

Honestly, I will rip this film a new one. I did not like this movie at all and I don't think that it was well done. I had a lot of problems with the writing.

Not a fan of the authors writing style.
I wanted to like this book so bad but it was like pulling teeth for me to finish it.

Not so much...
I really had a hard time getting through this book. I didn't find it interesting, and I disliked the writing style. I know it's supposed to be a classic, but count me out.

This is written with emotion and you can sense the writing is ruled byvand the performance is from the heart. (1 more)
Inner City Blues, What's Going On and Wholy Holy are my favourite part of this masterpiece.
