However, just because the gimmick is trite doesn’t mean it’s not amusing.

I was blown away by the pilot episode. They did such a wonderful job with the show. This is what happens when you have someone like Steven Spielberg behind a production, you get good solid material for a show. The songs are great, the cast is amazing especially Anjelica Huston because she is…

I have just finished The Fault in Our Stars, and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for writing a novel that is incredibly heartbreaking and miraculous and simple and ridiculous and so, so real.
