Jun 23, 2019
I've read it 12 times
My absolute favourite book of all time.
A beautifully written debut novel. Stunning prose help to move the story in such a smooth way.
The story is effortless
The characters perfectly developed.
Proof that true love will over come all obstacles, even death. Character development is whole hearted and true, with everyone becoming something so much more than they were.
Best book ever!!!

gayga (2128 KP) rated Ambient 1: Music for Airports by Brian Eno in Music

Feeling horizontal
I heard of this through a novel I was reading and heard that it was supposed to be good. I’d heard of Brian ENO before but not any of his music.
I loved it so much that I went and ordered the CD straight away. It sounds a bit disjointed but it doesn’t put my teeth on edge like some “ambient” music does. I’m tempted to try Phillip Glass next.

A horrific remake
Gonna keep this short and sweet.An atrocious remake of a half decent horror novel.
This film had everything..Terrible acting,characters who you just couldn't care for,the changing of which child was killed off and that absolute farcical of an ending.
Please avoid this film at all costs.Watch the original or read the book instead.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Jane Austen Out of the Blue in Books
Dec 21, 2018
Even now I've finished it, I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. It's a sequel of sorts to Sanditon, but includes other Austen characters and even the shade of the author herself, following her death. Nothing happens as you might expect and there's not really a very strong narrative drive through it. On one level I think it serves as a disection of the novel as a literary form. Strange.

New favorite!
I watched the movie before I read this book. And I am so glad I did! I still love the movie but the book is 1000x better.
For his first novel, I was beyond impressed. Cline has a way to make you connect with the characters on a personal level, even with them living in an entirely different world. I just couldn’t put it down. Definitely my new favorite go to book!
