Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The God Box in Books

Jan 15, 2018

This was really a 3.5 (oh Goodreads how I wish you'd make that an option!) I decided on a 4 though because at the end, this book made me cry. I haven't lost my mom, but I do live far away from her. Quinlan's descriptions of her mother reminded me so much of my own mom. The book was heartfelt & touching...something I plan on sharing with my own mom when I am lucky enough to see her again!

Book Rating

His best book IMO

An early ish Discworld book and the first to introduce Death.
Because of the vast number of Discworld books written there is a lot of crossover in the later books and a lot of folklore building. The actual stories sometimes suffer for this but not in Mort. It works as a standalone as well as part of the series.
I'm so glad and lucky to have a signed copy.
RIP Terry Pratchett.

Movie Favorite Watch

"That’s one film that just like — when you’re flipping the channels and you’re lucky enough to find that — I don’t care where it starts, the end or the beginning or the middle — I’ll just watch that all the way because all of those characters, all of those actors; it’s like the beginning of so many amazing careers. The dialogue is timeless. That first scene with John C. Reilly, he’s like, “Dig for greed.” It’s so good."

"Yep. A symphony of visuals comes together to communicate the essence of basic humanity. There’s no suitable combination of words to match the combination of cinematic choices that Kurosawa made here. I was lucky enough to see it on film the first time I saw it, on a big screen, with good sound, sitting next to my wife, who was also seeing it for the first time. That’s a combination of beauty that’s hard to replicate."
