I LOVE this book. I have read it so many times that it has LITERALLY fallen apart. The race is a thrill and watching Wade outsmart the other gunters is fantastic. Even descriptions that could have been boring were crafted with the right amount of detail and experience, allowing readers like me to get the details but those who aren't as game-heavy to get to the meat of the plot. Well done!

Engineering Porn with His Cousin Vinny.
A curious oddity of a film with a non-traditional story and an interestingly different story arc. One to really like if you are into heavy machinery, drilling rigs and electronics!

"Films about the nature of performance, our collective need to watch and be artists, and the heavy cost of leading a public life. Altman’s opus is freewheeling in tone yet dense as a glittering jewel, leading to a conclusion as bleak as any American film I can think of. Bob Fosse’s penultimate film takes the fundamentals of editing and reinvents them afresh, while concluding that there are certainly worse things than death."

"Gena Rowlands is a goddess. I almost don’t know what else to say beyond that. I love the scene when her character, an actress named Myrtle Gordon, shows up to the theater drunk beyond belief on opening night. The physicality of Rowlands’s performance is brilliant: the tension in her mouth, the heavy breathing, her limbs rigid one moment, limp the next. Watching her gain her composure is harrowing and hilarious at the same time."

I liked this but it didn't hit all the right notes for me. It seemed a little too deep for what I wanted and it took me a while to get through this. Don't get me wrong, I liked the gentle romance between our two characters but all the inner turmoil and anxiety related things just made it too heavy for me. And then the ending was a little abrupt to me.

The Voice In My Head is tragic, beautiful, emotional, poignant, twisted....and pretty much every feeling you can think of. It's hard to put into words how much I struggled with the heavy topic....and yet loved it, because it make me laugh and cry, love and hate, and just so many things in between.

It's the kind of book that ruins you, really. But in unexpected -- somewhat wonderful and woeful -- ways.
