National Treasure Book of Secrets is so much like the original, the writing isn't very tight and the character development doesn't exactly make sense and there is one part where I swear they were writing the film to go one direction and then went another, (because actors reactions don't make sense in that spot)... I still have to say that I really liked this film. It was just fun. Helen Mirren is great in the film. It's a good escape from the depressing weather we sometimes have this time of year.

Hi there!
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I see we have the movie "Slipper and the Rose" in common! I loved that movie when I was young... still do! Your boxes are beautifu and pink is a great color for you!!
Take care,
Holly
Thanks for the review! I love Helen Mirren, might see it just for her!
Tiffany,
This isn't really about "Book of Secrets", but I wondered that of all the books that you read and reviewed last year if you had one or two that you would recommend as a good book club pick? It will be my turn here sometime and I'm reading a few of your selections, but wondered if there was one that strikes you as a really good "discussion" book.
Amy .. how about I tell you my two favorite novels of all time.. Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner (a great Utah writer!) and Gilead by Marilyn Robinson. I think both of those would make for great discussion.
I liked this movie too....it was a good escape from all the serious issues that surround us! And not to sound shallow, but I really liked her wardrobe!! Tiff, I second the books Crossing to Safety (one of my all time favorites) and I loved Gilead...I think I'm going to read Nicholas Nickelby based on your recommendation.
Many thanks. I'm planning a trip to the library this week!
