![]() ![]() However, it's definitely of note that the book and this movie have little in common besides some of the characters and certain events. ![]() This film is, in actuality, based on a book, of the same name, by the master of cheesy romance, Nicholas Sparks. Moore and Shane West, have awesome chemistry with one another and allow the audience to get behind their struggles. In fact, there are moments that are flat out idiotic and off the charts corny, melodramatic, and overly sentimental, but none of this deters from the overall experience for me this cheesiness probably adds to the charm. Even though the main characters fall in love quickly, I can't help but find myself invested and wanting to see their relationship through to the end. I'm not going to pretend this movie is without flaw, because it is loaded with them. Maybe it's the film's charm, innocent romance, or that Mandy Moore's character is so likable while somehow being wholesomely hot-I mean, just look at her on the film poster! Now that's the kind of girl you can proudly bring home to mom. Okay, I have to come clean here.I actually.can't believe I'm going to admit this.love this movie! It's my guilty pleasure, pretty much the only chick flick I enjoy, and this movie just touches me on some strange level. Review: Valentine's Day may be over, but I promised to review a chick flick and I shall deliver a chick flick. Plot Summary: A popular boy easily falls in love with the school outcast, because she's played by Mandy Moore. ![]()

Clark was inspired by various aspects of his previous research experiences concerning Works Progress Administration ex-slave narratives, the music of the ring shout practice, the Gullah culture, and the controversial The Birth of a Nation (1915) film as he developed the novella. The novella, according to Clark, had been in development since 2015, and he pitched the work to his editor after establishing a contract with Tor Publishing in 2019. She is joined by fellow hunters Sadie Watkins and Cordelia Lawrence, as a supernatural evil is rising in an alternate history of 1920s Macon, Georgia. The story follows Maryse Boudreaux on her quest to hunt and destroy the demons summoned by the Ku Klux Klan known as "Ku Kluxes".

I absolutely love the way Wolfe presents the science fiction elements of his story so, for lack of a better word, naturalistically. Gene Wolfe said "you're not gonna understand this, but you're gonna like it". demands close attention but also rejects it, lol. Now the things I struggled with at the beginning (the meandering nature, Severian's personality, the long and complex descriptions) seem like the most vital and interesting parts of the story. And now I'm champing at the bit to finish it so I can go back and read the whole series from the beginning.
