Book Rating

If you love the likes of A Fault in Our Stars, Everything Everything or 100 Days or Sunlight you will love this coming of age story. It focuses on two people; Finch who has had a tough childhood and suffers from depressive episodes and Violet who has recently lost her sister in a car accident. The find each other on a ledge and Finch makes its his mission to save Violet from the spiral she has found herself in by exploring Indiana. It takes you on an emotional ride, but only one of them makes it in the end and it is heartwrenching!

Iron man is fantastic. I dont think anyone else could portray Iron Man as well as Robert Downey Jr. He has captured the perfect amount of arrogance, sass and comedy in this character. I also love his vulnerability and subsequent power found from this with the shrapnel in his chest.

I love the whole idea that this could be true as the technology is quite believable. Jarvis and Pepper are great characters that really bring out the Iron Man character aswell.

The story is good with some interesting twists and turns.

"From the opening shots of Daniel Day Lewis running through a forest in chase of a deer, to the finale when he’s sprinting across a mountain to protect his brother, this is my kind of romance – men and women living upon the earth, fighting for love, and willing to die for nothing more than honor. It may not be the ‘greatest love story’ ever told, but when Day Lewis promises to find Madeleine Stowe’s character, no matter where she goes, before jumping off a waterfall, that’s one of the great scenes in cinema history. Kudos to Michael Mann."

Rachel Unthank recommended A Love Supreme by John Coltrane in Music (curated)

"This is a record I've just fallen in love with. I've known Miles Davis and some Charles Mingus before, but this is something else. I was given it as a present, and I've just been captivated by it. It's so packed with emotion, and it takes you to all these different places in love: struggle, pain, joy, transcendence, chaos and calm.   It also feels so complete in the story it tells musically. And to have this whole new musical adventure now, to be thrown into this other world, in this music I never listened to when I was younger, is really exciting."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Destined for Love (The Bradens at Weston, CO #2; The Bradens #2; Love in Bloom #5) in Books

Jan 11, 2021

This is yet another book from a list on BookLikes called "Books to Fall in Love with". Some of them I have fallen in love with, some not so much and this is one of the latter.

I think it might have been down to the simplicity of the story after the two previous very complicated books i read before it. This didn't really engage me at all. The storyline was kinda cliche and rather boring compared to the previous two and i dont think cowboys do anything for me anymore.

I won't be reading any more of this series.
