The early naughties destructive Japan
There was a slew of angry rebellious nihilistic cinema in this period and Blue Spring may just be the most punk rock of them all. Its an artistic nasty little film full of violence and tension, as if art House got really pissed off and decided to say eff you. A seminal piece of cinema

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first Agatha Raisin and I loved every bit of it.

The book is very funny and suspenseful and starts with a fake severed leg and a very angry donkey
(For some strange reason I originally put goat. I start I know the difference!)

I am definitely not one of Ryan Reynolds biggest fans but I will say I am glad I was made to watch this, I would say it is far better than number one. The only bad part of this film is the male aussie ( fire fist ) everything about him makes me angry, hate his character and his annoying whiny voice.

Great plot, keeps syou guessing (0 more)
Annoying main character (0 more)
Great suspense.
This is a good book and I would recommend it to mystery/suspense fans. However, I found the main character, Rachel annoying. She whines often and many times is just off the rail. But, I like the writing and believe this is done intentionally. Rachel hates herself, she is often angry with herself, she is hitting rock bottom, and why would the reader not feel the same way in light of a first person narrative. The writing makes you feel for Rachel, your embarrassed for her, confused, angry, upset, you pity her, in a way you come to understand her, and it adds to the narrative of the novel. You think you have it figured out (and you might the clues are there), but at times your not sure (Rachel is an unreliable narrator). This book is worth a read.

The ending was slightly disappointing (0 more)
I loved the 'detatched' way in which the author writes his characters. The lead seems naive and perhaps emotionally shut down. I found the plot really unusual and the way in which owen and his farther are treated made me angry. But a book that can make you feel things about a character must surely be a good book in my opinion!
