There were some interesting parts, but altogether a bit underwhelming.

As a huge fan of the Anne of Green Gables books, I was really eager to read this book, especially after learning that Emily was L.M. Montgomery's favorite character. It was sweet. Sorry, Lucy, but I'm still AOGG all the way.

Okay, okay, I know I'm probably alone in this point of view. But I felt that this deeply researched book, while being comical and chattily informative, just read like a bunch of bullet points. I love the topic of ancient Egypt and was really looking forward to diving in, but alas, I found reading it to be an unpleasant experience. Kind of like reading your huddle notes in a work email.

Sad.

Interesting (and disturbing) to say the least.

Left one feeling kinda empty. Didn't really float my boat. HA!

Nope.

This was a great book. It's a true story that reads like a novel.

What an imagination Mr. Stevenson had. This is a classic for good reason.

Quirky and fun. A glimpse into the life of an unpretentious actor.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

A CREEP! Today he'd be in jail with Mr. Weinstein. Definitely changed my position on Mr. Hitchcock.
