Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Confessions of an Angry Girl (Confessions, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I got so into this book that if I'd started this a little sooner in the evening I could have finished this happily in one sitting. One things kept me from rating it higher; the fact that Jamie didn't appear in that much of the book, really, considering he's the love interest of Rose.
I wanted--<b>needed</b>--more Jamie and Rose!
I also felt for Rose a lot, she had a lot to deal with and she had a crappy best friend for most of the book. Add in an attraction to the bad boy with a girlfriend and you're in for turbulent times.
I most definitely need to read the second one but it isn't available on Scribd yet :(

First, let me start by saying that this type of book is not my usual fare.
However, when it was passed on to me by a family friend (who was otherwise going to throw it out), I thought - as I knew who [author:James Patterson|3780] was, and that he was very successful - that I would give it a try anyway.
Now that I've read it, I have to say that (truth be told) it didn't really do a lot for me: yes, it was easy enough reading, but never really (IMO) 'grabbed hold' of me. I also have to say the I felt the denouement seemed very rushed; very slap-dash and left a lot to be desired.
Your mileage, of course, may vary!

Spoiler! There are a LOT of ridiculously cute (unless you have no Soul, and, well, then, it won't be so cute) photos of sloths, taken by the author, NCSU grad (go WolfPack!) Sam Trull! With the pages of the book, we are presented with recollections, along with accompanying photos, from Sam's work at the Sloth Institute Costa Rica, which she co-founded. I smiled (A LOT), and even teared up at the end, but all in all, it was money well spent! If my wife and I ever hit the lottery, we have both agreed upon donating to the Institute. Thank you, Sam, for sharing your stories with us!
** I would have finished it sooner, but I was trying to ration it, to make it last longer.

This was a strange one. A lot happens throughout the story but jumps around a lot. Ancient artifacts causing time warps will do that. The acting was pretty decent and the cinematography was well done. There's a few mildly graphic scenes., so probably not for kids. Otherwise this was an interesting watch. It plays to choices made by the characters and the varying outcomes. Patrick Wilson is in this one and, as usual, plays the part of villain quite well. Overall this one keeps the interest to the end(which is a little simplistic compared to the rest of the movie)and wraps it up nicely without the typical Hollywood "leave it open for a sequel" route. Worth a watch!
