Movie Favorite

"Had to at least include one from the master Hitchcock. Being the huge De Palma fan that I am, it would be tough to not be a huge Hitchcock fan as well. Bronwyn loves Ingrid Bergman and was the person to introduce me to Notorious when we were younger. What I love about this film is that you get this sincere, Old Hollywood romantic chemistry between Bergman and Cary Grant, in addition to some classic Hitchcock greatness. We project films while we write and record, and this film played a lot during the making of our debut album. Fritz Lang is another one of the greats who I had to have on this list. I first discovered his films through Giorgio Moroder’s 1984 restoration of Metropolis, whose iconic image of the robot on the soundtrack and posters always intrigued me as a child, and once I eventually saw the film, it quickly became one of my all-time favorites. Most who have seen it, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, and M will agree that Fritz Lang is one of the best to have ever done it, but perhaps no one film has earned him that reputation more than M."

It seemed like the book was for a younger audience. (0 more)

I enjoyed this book. Even though it was a crime book with a murder it was also quite light-hearted.
It was definitely different to the normal crime books I read but it was still enjoyable.
I was gripped from the first chapter and once I got into it I couldn't put it down. There was just something about it that I couldn't put down. There was also a romantic story running alongside the murder.
The author kept me reading and it was written in a nice style.
I connected with the characters...mainly the main character. I got a sense of who she was and who she became towards the end of the book. She definitely grew as a person.
The book was intended for late teens to late 20's.
The blurb made me interested and the book lived up to it. The book didn't turn out as I thought it would after reading the blurb.
I would purchase the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
