Book Rating

This book has left me speechless, in awe, and in tears. The timeliness of it with the #MarchFor OurLives can not be understated. It reminds us that minorities have been faced with violence for too long and often at the hands of those who are supposed to serve and protect. The diversity of the characters is truely a quilt of the underrepresented within this country. The care and compassion that Oshiro uses to create such deep characters makes a true impact on the reader. As a middle and elementary school teacher I don't think I could use this book to teach but I can recommend it. I think this book needs to be in every high school library in the country though and possibly used in the curriculum . It is a discussion that needs to be opened.

A show that stalls

Well the trailers looked quite good for this, a mix up of Cannonball with Doomsday. It features a varied bunch of characters racing the length of the country to win freedom. As currently the country is full of humans that have turned into creatures via a virus outbreak. With big cities subject to the Curfew to be kept safe.
For me the first 3 episodes were very slow. There wasn't as much race action as you might think there would be. It centres more on the stories of the characters, their backgrounds and how the virus came about. Some of the later episodes were good. Trouble is some might be bored to stick with it that long. It is very hit and miss one episode to the next complete with a weak ending.

Lost in a coin toss

Number 7 of my #top10 #favourite #films is 'No Country For Old Men'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bleak & #depressing #NoCountryForOldMen takes all the #hope you have for the good guys winning and rips it out of your hands again and again. Not only is it #unfair, tense and #gorgeous to look at its constantly making you think deeply while toying with your emotions too. Acting is next level, the dialog is masterfully slick and #javierbardem might just be the #coldest & #scariest #villain ever put on screen making No Country For Old Men a film that really should be in everyone's top 10 list. Deciphering its intricate plot, many metaphors and head spinning #intelligence is something i sadly #feel i will never achieve fully but my god do i enjoy trying.
