The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Recommended by Rachel
This book was recommended to me and WOW! It is not a book that I normally would have picked up but I’m glad I gave it a try. It is written from the standpoint of a girl who was murdered and went to heaven. She is looking down at her family and friends as they walk through life. Do people in heaven really look down at us and see how we are doing? Very thought provoking!
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Recommended By Sharon
“Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” is a star-studded movie about the ”Golden Age of Hollywood”.
Starring actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Kurt Russell, Al Pacino, Bruce Dern, Bruce Lee and more, it is a story featuring 1960’s Hollywood. In it T.V. star Rick Dalton has his own western series and is a next door neighbor to actress Sharon Tate and husband, film director Roman Polanski. Co-star, Brad Pitt, won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor in his role as Rick’s easy going best friend and stunt double. Openly showing things like cigarette smoking, the movie is a mix of comedy and drama. A “cigarette” plays an important part in the movie and has you guessing about the title “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood”!
I found the movie memorable and recommend watching it! I would give it 3.75 out of 5 stars.
