![]() ![]() I think because the changes were so small, like names etc, it didn’t give the additional depth I was hoping for. ![]() Usually I prefer this when I read the book after seeing the film (or TV show) as it allows for more character development and gives the reader added knowledge. I think this was mostly to do with my knowing the film inside out, when something was different in the book I didn’t like it. ![]() I must admit, I was a bit disappointed in the book. I had huge hopes for this book as Legally Blonde is one of my favourite films (don’t watch it with me though, I mouth the words and apparently that’s annoying). And I have only just done so, seventeen years later…Īmanda Brown went to Stanford Law School and used letters she wrote, stories and anecdotes of her experience there to develop a manuscript, which would become Legally Blonde. I think I was still in primary school then…ever since then I have wanted to read the book. The movie for Legally Blonde came out way back in 2001 – which I cannot believe, I have just written it down, and I am looking on IMDb, and I still cannot believe it came out in 2001. ![]()

I wanted to make that note upfront because I know this material can be very triggering and the last thing anyone should do is make it a story about the war a loved one came from and rush to put this in their hands or faces without carefully thinking that out.įor my part, everyone in my immediate family (now just me, my grandpa, and my mom) experience and sometime struggle with PTSD. So while it’s easy for those of us familiar with, and those of us living with PTSD (particularly those of us who received it from war), it’s not the same wars and not the same places. ![]() Coming from a multicultural background it was also important for him that setting be multicultural too. ![]() In his author’s note he states that, while he was initially working on this during his time in Tokyo and was very inspired by the city, the world the characters live in is totally fictional as is the war they were returning from. First I think it’s really important to note that Guillaume Singelin is not portraying any war that we know of and is not depicting real cities that we know. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why kill off these innocuous folks? Who knows? maybe to appear serious?īut there's a piece of writing, an accomplishment of actual storytelling, that begins on and treats the pathos of a person recently diagnosed with breast cancer. At the very end of the novel - six years later - we learn that a number of the officemates in fact died. One of the great discoveries that happens in this novel, over the next 384 pages, is that persons do, as it turns out, die. On, we get this insight: "Our boredom was ongoing, a collective boredom, and it would never die because we would never die." It's neither annoying nor enticing - but it seems to want to provoke commentary. ![]() It's written in the first-person plural, which is about the extent of its original contributions. Then We Came to the End begins like a sequel to the movie "Office Space", written by Chuck Palahniuk. It fails for the reason so many MFA-workshopped novels fail: It's a technically proficient piece of writing about unserious folks discovering truths that serious persons generally know long before their 30th birthdays. Oh, it's witty and flippant and clever and occasionally funny, but ultimately it's not enjoyable. ![]() ![]() Truth is, but for 34 pages in the middle of this novel, I didn't enjoy Ferris's debut at all. Because so many of the GoodReads folks are participants or graduates of MFA programs, and because Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris is so obviously the product of an MFA program, I thought to hedge and give this book three stars. ![]() ![]() ![]() A person who was cryopreserved using "aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation (ASC), which. A patient who has requested a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order can be pronounced clinically and legally dead on cessation of heartbeat at a point in time when he could in fact be revived. A sailor lost at sea who survives on a deserted island might be declared legally dead even though he was still alive. Information-theoretic death, clinical death and legal death are three distinct concepts. 1Īn example of information-theoretic death is a person who suffers a heart attack and is cremated. If inference of the state of memory and personality are feasible in principle, and therefore restoration to an appropriate functional state is likewise feasible in principle, then the person is not dead.

![]() ![]() After his Oscar-winning hit Moonlight, Barry Jenkins took on the ambitious project of turning Baldwin’s novel about a passionate couple torn apart by an unjust system into a screenplay. There is one French adaptation of If Beale Street Could Talk and excerpts from other books appear elsewhere, but the new If Beale Street Could Talk is the first full Baldwin book to be reimagined by an American director. ![]() Until now, James Baldwin’s books had not been adapted into a feature film in English. Still, some adapted work can transcend its origins and stand on its own merits, like the film versions of To Kill a Mockingbird or The Godfather, becoming a beloved pop culture staple separate from the literary source. How closely each adaptation sticks to the text will almost certainly be a point of discussion, if the ongoing arguments over the Harry Potter books versus movies are any indication. ![]() It’s why we have so many cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare plays and novels, like Pride & Prejudice and Little Women. If Beale Street Could Talk by Barry JenkinsĪdapting a story from the page to the screen is its own kind of art - a balancing act between which of the original details to keep, loosely incorporate, or cut out. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, even though I had read a few of the books in this series a couple of years ago, I got a fresh start with this compelling prequel. What I liked most about this book is seeing how Kim came from a very difficult childhood and life, yet her brilliance shown through time after time in this and every case she has in this amazing series. Before Kim and her team can even properly get to know each other, they must jump in feet first in this case, finding the killer, especially before another young life is ruined and lost. ![]() Will this new assignment and team stick for Kim, or will she be packing up and starting over again somewhere else? In short order, Kim and her team are assigned the case of a mutilated young man who proved to be a victim of a pedophile. She has been assigned to Halesowen station, and has a new team - Bryant, Dawson and Stacey, as well as a new boss she calls Woody. She is a hard-wired cop with an attitude that has made it difficult to work with. In this book, Detective Inspector Kim Stone has just been reassigned to a new station. First Blood The prequel for one of the best series I had the pleasure of reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() All in all, it was a nice evening's entertainment. Alice Hoffman has high acclaim as an author, including this book, but I was a little disappointed, thinking it may have been better aimed toward the ages 8-10 market. ![]() Most early teenage girls that I've known fantasize about hand-holding and first kisses. I don't think that is realistic thinking of a thirteen-year-old girl. Martha is attracted to Trout, but states that they are "too young" to proceed with that kind of relationship. I say thirteen because that is how old the protagonist is, but with the run on sentences and the grammar/vocabulary I don't think she hits the mark. ![]() It felt like an adult trying (and failing) to write from a thirteen-year-old's prospective. It is an imaginative read, but I wasn't impressed with the way the book was written.
