Set aside some time because the minute you start to read this you won't want to put it down; I read it in one sitting. Grab yourself a box of tissues because you will need them while reading this poignant and at times heartbreaking story. I cannot remember the last time I read a book that touched on so many real life issues and I commend the outstanding job that the author has done here.

 

Jeremy's Story reads like a true story as we come to completely understand and applaud the portrayal of a fifteen year old teen boy who through no fault of his own has HIV. It is powerfully written and contains beautiful and heart felt characters. The message of acceptance, tolerance and of love that are contained within the pages of this book will forever stay with me and I loudly recommend this book to one and all.

I want to sit here and tell you all about this story but I simply can't for if I do then the overwhelming desire to tell you everything that happens from beginning to end will be too much for me and I will cave in and spoil it for you. However, I will tell you this;
_
"The Darkest Corners is a riveting YA read that will blow your mind and have you riding a volatile roller coaster of emotions. So filled to the brim with twists, turns and shocking revelations that I had to put the book down many times just to process the sprawling web of truths, lies and deceit. You are quickly drawn into this extraordinarily written story line with its fascinating cast of characters and you will quickly find yourself immersed in the plot. Kara Thomas has written an explosive masterpiece that will forever be seared into the depths of my soul."

I received an eARC via Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own.

I felt a bit mislead by the title of this book but in all honesty I have no one to blame but myself as I didn't read the synopsis however, this book about guardian angels was an enjoyable read.

Lena is the school loner and her peers have labeled her a witch which she isn't but she is indeed very special as she can see guardian angels. I love how the author wrote the Lena character; a bit of a foul mouthed teen with just the right amount of spunk. The story line moved quickly and it is humorously written. I look forward to seeing these characters once again.

My two personal favorite quotes:

" I cannot think of anyone I'd rather breathe with."

" You can only see the moral scars when there's a good guardian angel to show you. For whatever reason shmuck here doesn't have one of those."

Joe (148 KP) created a post in Unanswered Movie Endings

So, I’ll kick things off with the 1982 The Thing… This post could divide opinions but I’d love to know what you guys think. Oh, and ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** for anybody who hasn't seen this movie.

My theory is that Childs is infected and Mac is not. The main reason being that Childs drinks from the bottle that I believe was being used as a Molotov cocktail. After Childs takes a sip from the bottle, Mac gives a grin as if to say he knows he’s infected because he was drinking gasoline instead of whiskey, and since Childs is infected he doesn't know the difference in taste. I’m almost certain some of you will tell me that it’s confirmed in the Playstation 2 game of The Thing from 2002 but personally I don’t think there should be any connection between the two. If my memory serves me correct, you don’t ever see Mac in the PS2 game?…

Either way, let me know what your theory of the ending is.

Good point, I watched it again a while ago. Not sure if it's gasoline in the bottle. You do get a feeling Childs is infected but at that point knows the place is about to blow up.

I find that this movie tends to get a bad rap and I will admit based on the multiple portrayals we see of Sherlock Holmes in the modern area this is no match for Cumberbatch's portrayal. However, I love it all the same. Even if people hate on it no one can tell me that this film holds any less whimsy or joy that Sherlock Holmes offers. The since of mystery and adventure bring a me much joy as I watch him piece things together without giving a damn for how it may make him look or a care for other's opinions. Everyone's portrayal of Sherlock is different and even if it's not Cumberbatch I love this one all the same and enjoyed every last second of this film. From the gorgeous imagery and scenes painted on the screen to the hilarious banter passed back and forth between the characters, this is a film one could watch again and again.
