TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation in Books

Feb 24, 2021

This was much more difficult that I thought it would be!
It was sooo.. good for me to complete this 40-day sugar fast while thinking on scripture and how I can apply these principles :)
I really enjoyed the way the book flowed and I loved Wendy Speake's insight and encouragement. I think everyone should read this book at least once.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the encouragement, the health reasons, and for the many truths found between these pages.
*I volunteered to read this book in exchange for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Not AHS but watchable.

So it wasn't American Horror Story, but it was still in the ballpark. Grusome, gory and glorious. Where AHS was at times, scary or possibly jumpy, Ratched was more, do I feel bad for these deranged orphans or not? The answer is. No. You don't. She's a psychopath who seems to gets off on pain but disguises it as health care, and he is a literal killer, who despite his good looks, is the devil incarnate. This is by no means a bad thing. I actually really enjoyed it. Especially the backstories and seeing the different illnesses be 'cured. Very good, would recommend to fans of AHS.

I thought about ending it...halfway through

Contains spoilers, click to show

It’s a month later, and I’m still wondering where this movie was going. Maybe I’m just not deep enough. Maybe my family was in the middle of a mental health crisis and I just couldn’t tolerate anything other than minimal plot and/or explosions. I liked the concept, but was disappointed in the end result. Summary: it was weird. By the time we got to the scene with the animated pig, I was pretty exasperated. I loved the music and the dance scene, however. So I just upgraded it from a 4 to a 6.
