I enjoyed The Cruel Prince. It was interesting and kept my attention, had me guessing at what could possibly be Jude's next move. I've never been particularly good at chess, so there were many secrets and strategies I did not foresee, which made things more interesting. I'm a romantic girl at heart and I think that was my downfall in reading this book, I kept expecting a romantic angle, like in The Red Queen or Ash Princess. Despite that, I really liked it!

Movie Favorite

"As in the Max Ophuls film, Lean also deals with romantic love outside of marriage and intelligently understands that these relationships were sad and not meant to be. But with the end of marriage as anything more than a foolish, outdated formality that no one takes seriously anymore, the romantic film has logically disappeared, and there have been no great romantic leading roles for women ever since. The vulnerable, sympathetic character Katharine Hepburn so beautifully plays would be now considered some kind of neurotic nutcase, but I think it’s her best performance and it’s David Lean’s best film. He specialized in this genre of marital infidelity in films such as Brief Encounter and Passionate Friends, and when he gave it up for his outdoor spectacles, I don’t think he was ever as good again."

"Stevie Wonder’s seminal two-record album, the culmination of his blend of funk, soul, and ballads, has some of the most romantic music of all time. (Honorable mention: any love song sung by Marvin Gaye.)"

"This was the first French—maybe the first foreign—film I ever saw, and, as it turned out, one of the most romantic. The notion of undying love labeled me forever, and I loved it."

This movie is great. The actors are perfect and they work so well together,,,they compliment each other. Love story, but some parts are really funny. It's very real.
