Illustrated to attract a young child, the advanced colours chosen to identify the alphabet are way beyond what most younger children and even many adults will ever want or need. But, with that being said, there is never any harm in expanding a youngsters vocabulary by introducing a more complex concept that red isn't always called red, nor is marigold always a flower. As for jade, quartz, turquoise and razzamatazz, well they are cool words whatever the colour they are attached to.

Far from Perfect
One thing is for sure, I loved the topics of the story but I also think the author was trying to master too many things in one book. I loved that it talked about teen pregnancy, adoptions, and sexuality for young adults. Each of the characters had a lot of difficulties but they showed what its like to be a real family.

Decent remake
Didn't have high hopes for this when I originally saw at the theatre, but I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't just rewatched, it holds up as a decent horror thriller with some great make up gore, work with wax (obviously) and some gruesome horror kill scenes.

It's your typical young adults stranded in backwater USA when the ghouls come out to play, but I found it entertaining if you don't think about it too much.
