Melanie Caldicott (6 KP) rated A Cupboard Full of Coats in Books

I found this book very powerful and moving. It is a journey of a woman broken from traumatic events in her childhood and how the mysterious, enigmatic Lemon leads her on a journey towards healing and wholeness. This book is stark in its descriptions and joltingly shocking even though the plot holds a fatalistic inevitability.
At the beginning of the book Jinx is a hollow, cold, deeply scarred woman who lives a very isolated life unable to even form a relationship with her young son. She is unable to believe in and receive love from anyone after the emotional betrayal of her mother led to complete devastation in her teens.
Yet, then Lemon walks back into her life and, whilst at his own admission he is no saint, he leads he on a path to exorcise her guilt and discover redemption. Lemon is a fascinating character who has almost angelic qualities at times and his relationship with Jinx is full of mystery and is at times their scenes together are almost like a fable. And yet throughout the mystery the vivid descriptions and very raw, tangible emotions experienced by the two protagonists ground the story firmly within the realms of human experience, taking the reader on a moving journey of empathy and affinity.

I'm so glad that the entire run of Sif's Journey into Mystery was compiled into one graphic novel. Thor is gone for some of the issues, so she deals with problems that normally Thor would take care of. Sif becomes a berserker to become a better warrior, but the catch is the rage associated with it.
Overall, a good and quick read.

Taraji unapologetically is herself. Being so, you find yourself falling in love with her, her passion and her perspectives. Good read.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
Great homage to martial arts films of old, with 88+ baddies against the disgruntled bride out for revenge and to destroy Bill and his band of highly trained followers.
Once again Tarentino hits hard with great action and an even better build up, we see only part of the brides journey in this installment and it is one hell of fantastic part 1.

This is the second book in the series. It follows Emily and her brother as they continue out on their journey to save their mother. Again, the artwork in this book is stunning, I had to stop and look at some of the pages that were just art. The author does a good job keeping the readers engaged in the story.
