Wow! This book is absolutely amazing. When is the last time you read a nearly 800 page book in a week?! Exciting, heart-wrenching, and chock full of wonderful history. A must read for anyone interested in the region the Beagle sailed or the people wo made history on the voyages. Fascinating and highly recommended.

Amazing. A book about light and science, love and friendship, big government and orphaned children, bombs and hope. Comes together beautifully.

Just terrifying and heartbreaking. Impossible to comprehend.

Amazing.

Had low expectations, but remarkably I must be in this film’s demographic because I actually thought it was pretty funny. Love Greta Gerwig.

The acting was good in this movie, but I think the story tried to take a little too much on.

Amazing! One of the best movies I have seen in a while. A story of passion/obsession expressed through two story lines of an unsolved crime and an unrequited romance. This film (for me) was a foreign film. But, despite the subtitles, the action was fast-paced and unpredictable with beautiful cinematography and characters that were authentic and believable.

I can’t believe I finally finished it after ten months. But, strangely, it was totally worth it. I recommend it, really! It’s a great adventure story and parts of the prose are phenomenal.

First half was pretty exciting. Then it devolves into the world’s longest car chase. Worth seeing…but nothing special.

This is one depressing, shocking, intelligent, fascinating book. It’s very French. Not for the weak of heart, but utterly compelling.
