All it takes for me to fall in love with a book is a good government corruption plot with a violent, evil leader and a female heroine who falls in love. I loved “Legend” by Marie Lu because of this.

Normally I get so annoyed when there are multiple books in a series. Not every single book deserves a sequel or let alone a third, so oftentimes it feels forced. In this case, “Carve the Mark” 100% deserved a sequel and I am so glad that Veronica Roth wrote “The Fates Divide.”

I read this book for two reasons and two reasons only. A cute boy said it was his favorite book and Veronica Roth being the author of one of the greatest dystopian series of all time. It was also a bonus that I already had this book sitting on my bookshelf many years prior, just collecting dust.

“Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” provides 100 minutes of drama, emotion and insight into the Boss’ career. Unfortunately, the final 20 minutes of the film opt for an odd turn that left viewers disappointed.

I think I was halfway through with reading “The Shining” until I realized there was a sequel that came out many years later and a movie to go with it. Even now when I talk to people about “The Shining” and I ask them if they have watched “Doctor Sleep,” they always sound just as confused as I was.

I am tired of people using the classic lame argument that “the movie is nothing like the book, therefore it sucked.” I used to be one of those people until I started appreciating the film and book apart from each other. It is simply not a valid argument to say that a movie is bad because it deters away from the plot of the book, unless it is a major difference that alters the entire story to where the two seem unidentifiable to one another. There are things that a film can enhance that a book cannot, and vice versa. That’s just how it is. Besides, I believe in the director’s vision.
