Always the last few pages
This book, like all others by this author, is a page turner...once you get into the story. This one took me way longer than usual to get hooked. Based on the style of the past books written by Coben, the ending was not a surprise in the least. All of his books are worth reading, this one was more flat than some of the others.

Twist
Originally, I didn't really want to see this film. I thought it might be ok, and I felt super old, knowing that John Cho could convincingly play a character that had a 16 YO.
This film was completely told via computer/mobile phone screens, and it was very effective. The tension and pacing were great. I like a movie that keeps me guessing (which is rare). Though, once you watch the end, you go back through the movie in your mind and realize the clues that were being dropped.

Ready For Book Two
Can I start by asking, "When does the second book come out?! This retelling of King Midas surpassed all my wildest expectations and then some. This spin was written rather creatively and I found myself enjoying this adventure full of pirates, first loves and curses. I will tell you that I was shocked and caught off guard by some startling revelations and I eagerly await with anticipation for the next book. Kudos to this author's storytelling and spell weaving as I fell in love with the web she spun!

My favorite board game
This is hands down my favorite table top game. It unfolds in two parts both of which I greatly enjoy. The first is building the house (discovering new rooms where events, items, and omens occur). It has a cool co-op feel as well. The haunts are always exciting because you really have no idea what's going to happen. It becomes D&D lite and some haunts are less fun than others buy it greatly increases playability.

"I think I was graduating from college, yeah. It was just so fresh and amazing, and the storytelling, you know, changed cinema forever. I just loved it. And it brought back John Travolta. Every character was incredible, and I loved its really dark sense of humor. Like, literally some of the hardest laughing I’ve ever done in my life was when John Travolta accidentally blows the head off that guy. [laughs] Making that funny is such a feat. The comic sensibility of Quentin Tarantino never ceases to amaze me."

I loved The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns and was not disappointed with And The Mountains Echoed. Hosseini is a masterful writer whose storytelling is arresting, captivating and spellbinding. Each of the stories in this book are beautiful. It is a particularly admirable skill to write stories that are so thought-provoking, but are still gripping and compelling. The themes of family, what makes us human, the beautiful personal perspectives and the evocative locations of the stories all combine to make this book immensely rich and hugely enjoyable. Just brilliant!
