I loved this book. It's not my usual read but part of this challenge is to broaden my horizons so after seeing so many people raving about it I thought I'd give it a go. I was not disappointed. The whole book is written from the perspective of 5 year old Jack and this makes it a refreshing read. If I had to criticise the book the only thing I could say is that it didn't make me cry. Everywhere I read about it there was at least one person warning others that this book will make you cry. But that would be my only criticism and that's not really the books fault more like other people's for giving me that expectation.
The films

This film is amazing. I usually avoid films that have this much hype surrounding them as I tend to be disappointed when I watch them. I'm so glad I saw this though. It was a delight to watch, I didn't miss the talking at all and I loved the sound decisions they made. The story was beautiful as were the actors and pretty much everything else about this film was too. Can you tell I liked it?

This is a film I had intended on seeing in the cinema last year but it just didn't happen. I only got the chance to see it now because a friend lent me the DVD. I'm grateful that she did because I really enjoyed it. It was a sweet film with a nice storyline and plenty of chances to perve on Jake Gyllenhaal.

This film was awesome. The apes freaked me out a little because everything is so detailed and lifelike and I wasn't too impressed by the ending but those things aside I really enjoyed the film. It had a heart warming storyline and I found myself turning my back on my own species and cheering on the apes most of the time. Confession time - I've never seen any of the original Planet of the Apes films! Matt has promised to rectify this though so expect to see at least the first one on a challenge update this year.
This week I am so grateful I started these challenges. They're really giving me the push to experience new things and step outside of my comfort zone. I just hope I can keep this up.
Current progress 4/50 books and 5/50 films
