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!

I barely got past the first episode. It was awful and felt like it was just trauma for the sake of shock and trauma. It did not feel like a horror show at all and considering what we BIPOC have been through and continue to deal with, this felt insulting and not thought provoking. The only good thing the show had going for it was beautiful visuals. You're better off avoiding Them altogether. It is not a good show, it's troubling, and it should not have been made.

I would like to request that people not read the blurb summary of this book that I found on Amazon. It is far too long and detailed for such a concise work of prose. Even if Backman approved of how much of the story they’ve included there, I certainly do not. However, if you want to know my opinion of this beautifully constructed and thought-provoking novella, please read my review here – which will not give away hardly anything of the story, I promise!

The last of the current trilogy and arguably the best.
It riffs upon established POTA tropes such as a believable reason for the loss of speech in humans and also the subtle introduction of Nova.
Effects are beautiful and animation of the apes with Andy Serkis continues to amaze with his performance.
it's a thought provoking story based upon a great escape/Prisoner of war type plot with a prison guard played by a very on form Woody Harrelson.
A fitting end to a better interpretation of Pierre Boulle's classic

A stunning and thought provoking movie
There aren’t many films these days that make me feel very emotional but The Father is one of them, Anthony Hopkins Oscar-winning performance is so powerful and well-performed that I started to feel like I knew the character as he changes moods and gets confused with what is happening I found myself welling up on several occasions and there was even a moment when I had tears rolling down my cheeks, thank heavens for face masks in the cinema to mop them up.
