The curious charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick

The curious charms of Arthur Pepper is a love story, no doubt about it. And yet it's so much more. Soul-searching, heart-warming and charming.


Go read the book, not my review.

After You

"After you" by Jojo Moyes is a sequel to "Me before you", continuing the story of Louise Clark. It's a beautiful book, written woth heart and sensitivity...

... and yet, I found myself putting the book down after a few pages, and not really feeling compelled to pick it up again. Perhaps it was the mood of the book that got me down, perhaps the pacing was off. An easy read I found hard.

Still, an important book for those who want to know what happened to Louisa.

Finding Dory

Although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, it's much better if you remember what happened in "Finding Nemo". "Dory" is very much a sequel, heartwarming and fun, but it doesn't have the freshness and the humour of "Nemo".

A cool family film, and a tear-jerker for parents. Not a first-date movie, though.

Men, Women & Children - movie

Men, Women & Children is a weird movie. Extremely explicit. Too honest. Uncomfortable. Depressing and uplifting. A perfect commentary on today's life.
