Oh I think Matt Damon will be good in this role! I’m hoping

I know it’s a huge hit that I haven’t read, but geez. Guess they’re cashing in while the iron is still hot. Makes sense. I like Matt Damon.

Hi Brona, I’ll check out your review on Doerr’s book. I agree the ending felt a bit less than I was hoping for. The novel builds for so long that I really thought the ending or the meeting between the two characters might add up a bit more. I found it a bit abrupt too.

I found it a very sensory experience, & like you, was hiding under the bed with Marie-Laure.

The ending felt weak and hurried compared to the rest of the story. I don’t need to have my characters lives wrapped up in a neat bow at the end and the whole technology discussion at the end felt contrived as I thought the story was more about communication and connections rather than technology per se.

I’ve heard lots of chatter about The Martian but it’s not my usual kind of read….but the movie looks exactly like Mr Books type of thing…so I suspect we will be seeing it at some point soon! Thanks for the heads up 🙂

Sarah, I will look forward to what you think of it by the end. It’s quite a tale.

Yeah Bryan I enjoyed Instellar too though I’m sure others might not have. Damon is good in space so I think The Martian will be action-packed, especially with Ridley Scott directing. I’ll be seeing it.

Ha Deb. Thanks for the feedback. It’s likely above and beyond me.

Thanks Laurel. Yeah I’m quite wary about the Ali Smith book as well. Just from what I’ve heard. The Martian should be an exciting movie. Wait for it perhaps.
