Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Wildfire in Books

Jan 12, 2018

[Wildfire] is a story of a young woman trying to escape her past and what is expected of her and finding where she belongs. It is a true coming of age novel of love, loss and discovery. [Mary Pauline Lowry] catches the true feeling of rebellion of the main character Julie as she tries to overcome the pain of her past with the Pikers, a hot shot crew, forest fire fighters who often hike or fly into the heart of fires all through fire season. This book kept me reading and was finished off in a day. It was a very well told story.

Joker begins

Contains spoilers, click to show

Arthur fleck is a struggling comedian with history of depression and a medical condition which causes him to laugh when in physical or mental pain. (Makes sense given the character being portrayed).

Finally being pushed over the edge of his own sanity & idolized by the people of Gotham who feel forgotten & pushed aside, Arthur dons the name 'Joker' & decides to take matters into his own hands by violently retaliating against the wealthy.

Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic and plays the Role brilliantly bringing a dark, intense character to the silver screen in an origin story that is a must see.....knock knock.......

Becs (244 KP) rated Death of a Salesman: Certain Private Conversations in Two Acts and A Requiem in Books

Jan 2, 2020

Death of a Salesman is a riveting story that will grab your emotions and pull at your heartstrings. The plot is a rollercoaster of events. At first, I was confused with the Ben character but towards the end of the play, I was finally able to understand each issue that took place with each character. Understanding the pain that Willy was going through. Understanding the issues Biff has with stealing from jobs. Understanding Happy's need to sleep around. Bringing to light the issue of a salesman's career and how the job market was going downhill. Death of a Salesman is worth a read or a couple of rereads!
