ClareR (5686 KP) rated The Anniversary in Books
May 15, 2023
This is one of those books where I’m glad I commit to the 30% rule. After the first stave (I read it on The Pigeonhole, so it was split up over 10 days), I wanted to give up. I felt pretty much the same after day 2, but at day 3, I wanted to know what had happened. I wanted the Ruth, and I was all in!
It’s a very introspective book, lots of descriptions of places, people, scenes and above all, feelings. JB has a lot of feelings, although she appears to be in a state of shock for a majority of the novel. I mean, her husband falls off the ship they’re celebrating their anniversary on. Not an ideal situation!
And then the truth starts to come out about the reality of their marriage.
The word “marmite” has been bandied around quite a lot regarding this book, and I’ve come down on the “like it” side. It’s certainly a book that gave me a lot to think about - even when I wasn’t reading it!

Well, we all knew this had to happen. And I am a full week late in getting to watch this movie.
Alright, if you know Norse mythology: IGNORE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. Seriously. Fenrir made it. Yup. Okay, let’s… let’s just not discuss that. I would need to go and refresh myself and, I just don’t want to be that dissapointed.
Outside of that, it was a good movie. A LOT happened, and just understand that we are basically jumping two years from when Age of Ultron took place. Also, Thor has become a true American and lost his god talk. I wish they hadn’t done this. I wish they would have updated him without losing that, because, even though it was annoying at times it also kept to the myth side a bit more. I did love the short hair.
LOKI! Yes! Though, in many ways, I wish we had a lot more of him. It seems as if the film makers are angry over how popular Loki has become – he could have been a lot more.
And the pacing. The pacing was odd. Skipping a lot of information. What happened to Thor the last two years? How, exactly, did Hulk get there? Why does the Valkyrie have such a poorly described and explained back story?
That being said, I did enjoy this. So much sass, so much action, and the characters did move forward.

Odd gothic thriller
The last part was the best part of this entire novel. Incredibly slow to start and for a very long time the religious subplot seemed pointless. There's also a lot of holes in the story like what happened to the baby's mother? Feel like it's been overhyped.

The children are incredible actors (2 more)
Pennywise is terrifying
A lot more in depth than the original made for tv version.
Some of the plot points were very different from the book (1 more)
Some people might consider it slow in parts if they don’t like character development.
A great Stephen King adaptation!

A very family friendly easy to learn and play game, with a lot of depth that rewards multiple plays. Highly Recommend

So fun
It's a fantastic game for the whole family. The swinging is so much fun and a lot smoother than the last game . The abundance of suits you can unlock is so cool and it's not just your generic button bashing game :) would definitely recommend!!

Loved this.
The world this created was very interesting, the overgrown imagery they create for you reminded me a lot of the futuristic world that took place in wayward pines - seeing something how it was vs how nature would eventually take it all back. Stories were not alike at all however.
