A Million Little Pieces
James Frey wakes up on a plane hurting in ways he could never imagine. He has no recollection of how he received his injuries or how he got onto the plane. He also has no idea where he is going. The reader soon finds out that James is 23 years old and has been an alcoholic for ten years.
A Million Little Pieces recalls his memories at a rehabilitation center and the twelve steps he took to discover a better life. This book will take the reader through experiences that are raw and that seem impossible for one human being to go through. James Frey does a great job of making the reader come very close to feeling like they are following his footsteps.
Hail to the Thief
"Hail to the Thief" is the sixth studio album by Radiohead. This album differs from their past albums because it goes back to their slightly more alternative sound with more guitar and more vocals yet still has electronic beats to it. Thom Yorke claims his lyrics had been influenced by current events taking place in his life.
Tracks such as “There, There” and “Go to Sleep” make the listener remember past songs such “Anyone can play Guitar” and “My Iron Lung”. Hail to the Thief is a great album because of its experimental feel and its “live” style. Radiohead is capable of creating many different album techniques and is seen as a well rounded band.
Almost Famous
“Almost Famous” tells the story of a teenage journalist who goes on tour with the band Stillwater in order to obtain a story he wants to get published for Rolling Stone magazine. It takes place during the 70’s, the era of rock ‘n roll. Along the way he becomes friends with the members of the band, loses his virginity and finds himself in love with the mysterious Penny Lane.
This movie could be liked by anyone and everyone because it is inspiring and endearing. The story is pleasant and unforgettable. “Almost Famous” takes the viewer back to an era simply full of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll.
I think it would have been an interesting touch to include how "A Million Little Pieces" was all fabricated.
ReplyDeleteWow, well I think that your reviews were a little dry. Don't forget that you are writing for other people to read. Would this have been interesting for you to read?
ReplyDeletethe million little pieces read like the back of the book but it would be interesting if you mentioned that the book was fabricated and you convincing the reader why it is still a good book.
