"Brad Bird is a triple badass. That’s all there is to it. I would have said Incredibles but I watched Giant more. It was so ground breaking with the mixed media. Great story, great characters, good heart, super smooth filmmaking AND Christopher McDonald is in it and I love him. Too bad they marketed a bunch of other movies that year. Good thing there’s life after death on DVD."

I struggled from the start with this. It wasn't grabbing me at all--maybe because politics bores me to death--and the fact that it was in third person when I've gotten so used to reading first, so when they got to the sex scene, I just gave up. I don't see much point in reading something like that if I'm not into the couple.

Not for me.

"The Maysles are masters. Their philosophy of Direct Cinema is proved in these films. Life is as interesting as fiction. This is not reality TV; it is observational documentation in the purest sense. It is not manipulated; the only filter is the obvious love the filmmakers have for their subjects. Salesman is as deep as Death of a Salesman or The Iceman Cometh, and Gimme Shelter is like Greek tragedy."

Book Favorite

"I was working at a funeral home when I found this novel. Being 14, I did a lot of thinking about death, and, conversely, how to live. Love in the Time of Cholera made me feel as if I were walking next to the characters as they laughed, loved, lived and died in a world filled with spirits. Márquez raised my consciousness by taking me gently into other realms."

A great little book
My son was very engaged with this book. While he drank his milk, he enjoyed the pictures and the repetition that works well to keep the young engaged and progress the story. We loved the ending, and I personally feel, I could read this quite a few more times before starting to wish the characters a slow death (as I do Peppa Pig).
