"For me, the most devastating childhood remembrance film—if that’s what it is. The story is too remarkable and strange to be fiction. Six-year-old Brigitte Fossey—trying to make sense of her just-witnessed parents’ deaths by urgently assembling a beautiful little animal graveyard—might just nudge out Dean Stockwell as my all-time favorite child star, and she makes me cry a lot more! Comedy mixed in with such sadness, sadness, sadness!!! This is early childhood distilled and put in a very dangerous bottle!"

3.5 stars.

I love the cover of this book and thought there would be a scene in the story with her wearing it and there is in a way but not how I pictured it. I liked the whole good and evil of the characters, though I wont give too much away by elaborating.

I loved Arriane and Penn.

One thing that seemed rather strange to me was how he never really showed any interest in her but she couldn't help but be drawn to him...

Book Favorite

"Tennessee Williams’s short stories are eclipsed by his plays, but they are by no means outclassed. His ear for dialogue, his eye for character and his dramatic gifts are as powerful in his stories as they are in his plays. Like the plays, the stories are flavored with a connoisseur’s taste for the strange and bizarre, including cannibalism, incest, rape, castration, nymphomania, alcoholism and murder. My favorite among the stories is the fiendish “Desire and the Black Masseur,” but there are many, many runners-up."

The protagonist of this novel is Verity, and the book is told from her perspective. Verity is a very strange woman, and she does realise that. She tries her best to fit in this world, but she has a ton of difficulties because of her behaviour. Verity has a lot of mental illnesses, but she hides them quite well. I liked how the characters unravelled throughout the pages, showing their true personalities. I really liked Verity’s strangeness, it was very interesting to see how her mind worked.

Tina Fey is totally hysterical and this book would have gotten a full five stars if she hadn't kept telling the listeners to refer to pictures and illustrations in the PDF version (Lady, don't you get it? I'm listening to this for the main reason that I CAN'T read it on PDF)! (An aside: I think you seem more strange laughing out loud when listening to an audio book than when you laugh out loud when reading from a physical book - electronic or print.)

This series is one of my all time favourites! It's such a unique and strange concept that it must works perfectly! I love the whole plot line and how it flows so brilliantly into each episode. Mike is so brilliant and Millie makes an excellent Eleven and I couldn't imagine her being played by anyone else! The rest of that characters/actors are just as good! They all work so well together and have great on screen chemistry! Amazing series! Truly worth the watch!

Rolling Stone's 409th greatest album of all time
This album should have been far higher up the RS list in my view. It may be that I was made to listen to it a lot growing up, but I still listen to it a lot these days. So many cracking songs on here, from the title track to People Are Strange (which will always remind me of @The Lost Boys (1987) ) to Love Me Two Times to the epic closer When The Music's Over.
