I agree that Precious is amazing, though the flase happy ending sorta got on my nerves a little.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-56759952004779637452010-03-01T04:11:19.633+00:002010-03-01T04:11:19.633+00:00I totally know what you mean about when main chara...I totally know what you mean about when main characters are "unsympathetic and greatly flawed" turning into constantly annoying! It has really become a problem for me. There needs to be at least one character I really like hugely to overcome that!<br /><br />Must add Bright Star to my netflix queue.<br /><br />Thanks for all the great reviews!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-53704735798858204802010-03-01T02:39:57.929+00:002010-03-01T02:39:57.929+00:00I *really* want to see An Education, because I lov...I *really* want to see An Education, because I love both of those actors too!<br /><br />Too bad several of your reads didn't live up to your expectations. :/Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-69770677176086593032010-03-01T02:12:28.149+00:002010-03-01T02:12:28.149+00:00Damn.

First of all, I don't do horror and have managed to avoid Stephen King for 32 years. Second, because it is so damn BIG! I do not shy away from big books, but something that that requires devoted time, and I have none to give right now. It is something I am considering as a summer read though.<br /><br />RE: The Hurt Locker - the story is loosely based on a soldier my husband used to command. My husband commanded an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit for two years, at which time this soldier was interviewed by a magazine for his experiences in the Gulf War. What he went through is amazing and brought home to me the realization that my husband's chosen military career path was so dangerous (he got out five years ago). The story is not so much about war but about what we do to keep our soldiers and the innocent safe in a war-ravaged area. I have heard nothing but amazing things about it.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.com
