Tara Road - Good in parts.

This is a kind of book that you can read with a cup of tea on a boring day.
While i was reading the first few chapters i thought the book was regular fare and after that i felt it was going to be depressing but surprisingly when i finished the book none of the feelings lingered. It doesn't leave you with much impact , well nothing really and i dont like that in a book.

The book is by Maeve Binchy. And is mostly about Ria Lynch who meets, falls in love, marries in hurry, becomes mom in succession, gets heart-broken, falls out of love and rediscovers herself in that order.
Marilyn a women with disintegrating marriage after the accidental death of her son, who lives in America and Ria , who is in Ireland exchange homes and this brings the happy ending.

I know tear jerker soap opera stuff. But while reading it seems OK. Mostly because of Binchy's writing , she doesnt comment too much on the characters, they are just characters living in the book.

I heard there was a movie in the same name. Havent seen yet. Anyway i dont think the movie will be good.

I have seen 'The Holiday' though. when i read the book it was kinda i was watching the movie in reverse situation sometimes, so many similarities. You know Kate Winslet from England Cameron Diaz from America (A house with a pool ... GOD!).
And Cameron falling for the brother of Kate and Ria falling for the brother of Greg (Marilyn's husband) and Kate ending up with Jack Blacks character ( A friend of Cameron) like Marilyn ending up with Colm (Ria's friend AWW..)

So this was the bad book i mentioned about in my previous blog, although i wouldnt say its bad its FINE, just fine.

This month so far..

I spent most of this month watching movies. You know India played real bad in all their T20 matches and it was so depressing to watch and surprisingly all my predictions about India turned true to my dismay :(.

I am watching all romantic movies coz i am building a collection., here's the list.

1. Giant (Very Good)
2. A walk in the clouds (Okay)
3. Green Card (Not bad)
4. Funny face (Audrey Hepburn - Very Very good)
5. The wedding date (Nice)
6. A walk to remember (Sob story)
7. Sleeping beauty (Cartoon - Fun)
8. The princess bride (Good)
and the list is growing..

And i read a really bad book so iam not mentioning it here.......

The Goonies - The fun film

Steven Spielberg – he is a one with a child’s heart. Though E.T is my all time fav movie right behind the ‘The Lion King’ (English Films). The Goonies has become the 3rd in the list. Well, this movie was probably made before I was even born, but is soooooooo fun. Absolute fun and adventure!!!! It made me want to watch more adventure movies and ended up watching most in that genre (Only the Indiana Jones kinda stuff was ok others were pretty bad L) , but nothing matched the pure fun the movie gave.

Why have they stopped making movies like these? We will never know.
