+ really interesting

At first I found the dialogue relatably irreverent, then the constant ridicule of everything got repetitive and I would have liked to see a bit of positivity, then the ending reveals the main character's sense of humour as a defensive front. So I guess the writing starts out like a more clued-in ...
  
  











  



  
The Bone People: A Novel152 reviews
Keri Hulme

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1986

*Perfection!*

+ Shakespeare's "Tempest" Down Under

This book defies the constraints of the written word and captures a tri-soul: a devastating, miraculous, chameleon-like story that will reach out and grab your psyche, changing you forever. Deeply psycho-empathetic, alchemical, and rich beyond anything you've ever read. A gem hiding under the ...
  
  











  



  
The Body Artist: A Novel116 reviews
Don DeLillo

Scribner, 2002

A Satisfactory Novel at Best!

I believe Don Delillo is on par with other writers like Philip Roth, Cormac McCarthy, and Joyce Carol Oates. This short novel is an easy read but it leaves you with more questions than answers about the plot which thinly. It's about a body artist whose husband, a film-maker, commits suicide.

A beautiful and unforgettable film

This movie unforgettable and each time I watch it I find something new that make me look at life and relationships and death.

+ Very Melancholy Feeling. . .
+ THIS MOVIE REQUIRES ONE TO HAVE A DEEP MIND! THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT!

This is one of my top 5 movies. It's not a feel-good movie, but rather leaves you feeling melancholy and haunted. But I can't help wanting to watch it again and again. Sofia Coppola did an excellent job directing and Kirsten Dunst is great as Lux Lisbon. One of the best parts of the movie is ...
