CarlaM (53 KP) rated Sea Breeze: Phantom Queen Book 8 - A Temple Verse Series (The Phantom Queen Diaries) in Books

Nov 19, 2019

Great Characters development. Quinn has come a long way since the first book. Lots of mythology floating about in these books. (0 more)

Meh! I dont think there is anything bad. If I was really critical, some might find it slow I guess (0 more)

An Epic Tale

A great story filled with characters from myth, legend and story books. After the detour in Salty Dog, Sea Breeze takes Quinn back to her original Objective to Find Jack and Stop him and if she can, Rescue him.
She meets up with a true hodgepodge of great characters and sails off on her mission.

On a personal note I think this is Cameron's best novel to date. I appreciate a book that takes the time to not only tell a story... but make me feel what the characters are feeling.
I really cant wait to get my hands on the next book and see what happens next!

Rare sighting of the species Liamneesonus Seriousactorii, which has become increasingly elusive in recent years due to excessive Bessoning of its habitat. Here Neeson plays Tom, husband of Joan (Manville): they are a quietly devoted couple of many years' standing, whose world is understandably rocked when she is diagnosed with breast cancer.

Not quite your typical movie on this topic, for it concerns the impact of the follow-up treatment as much as the disease itself. The question is what new can be brought to this genre, or indeed this subject, by a new film - everyone's experience of cancer is necessarily personal, after all, and the more general the statement, the greater the danger of saying something fatuous or inane. The film mostly gets away with it, thanks to strong performances, but one subplot in particular does threaten to overegg the pudding and turn an affecting movie into melodrama. But overall a strong and moving film.

Overall, this film was pretty good, but it dragged on FOREVER. The story was great, but the film spent way too much time on the personal life the lawyer, Robert. Seriously, they could have edited out an entire hour of that sort of junk. It ruined the film a little for me. Seriously, they could have cut Anne Hathaway's character out and it would have no effect on the film.

Again, the story was so good, and it's always pretty terrifying to think about what's being dumped into the water supply.

EDIT: At one point, when Robert is at a courthouse in WV, filing the whole, the drinking water is poison thing, HE DRINKS FROM A WATER FOUNTAIN! What the f----?

So, if you want an interesting film, and don't mind slogging through family stuff that has little to no bearing on the story, I would recommend it.
Please, directors/editors/studios, stop making movies over 2 hours that could be a tight hour and a half.
