Gone for Good

I finished read Gone for Good by Harlan Coben. There is a tv show on Netflix that is loosely based on the book. Harlan Coben has written many books.

Big Warning: there is some violence and a twist at the end.

In this book, a guy named Will is in love with a woman named Shelia Rogers. She ends up becoming a missing person and the police think Will had killed her. Then Shelia’s fingerprints are found at murder scene. The police think Will is hiding Shelia. Also Will’s brother had went missing eleven years earlier following a murder of girl that Will had loved. Will finds out the shocking truth that his brother is alive. Then Shelia turns up dead. But when Will goes to Shelia’s funeral, the body was not his Shelia. Apparently the woman he loved was alive and she used Shelia’s ID. That woman also knows Will’s brother. With the help of his co-worker and the sister of his ex, Will finally finds out what happen to his ex who was killed.

Note: there were some differences between the Netflix tv show and the book:

1. The tv show was based in another country.
2. The names were changed
3. Katy Miller kills herself in the show and I think she was like a medium. She kept seeing her dead sister.

I liked both the show and book. Now I’m going to listen to The Omega Factor by Steve Berry.

Lisey’s Story

I finished reading Lisery’s Story by Stephen King. Yes, there is a show based on the book too. My mother is a huge fan of Stephen King. I’m not really a big fan, but the show sounded interesting so I wanted to see the show, but I wanted to read the book first.

Big Warning: there is some violence and it is a really creepy book.

Note: At first, I felt like I was reading Stephen King’s diary and I felt guilty reading the book. In an interview, he says that he was close to dying when he wrote the book. Anyway, the show does have differences between the show and the book. One major one is close to the end, Lisey doesn’t use Darla in her plan to kill the crazy guy.

In this book, Lisey meets a writer named Scott Landon. They fall in love and eventually get married. Lisey doesn’t know anything about Scott’s past and he tells her during a snowstorm. He takes her to a secret place of his childhood that haunts him most of his life. Lisey even goes to the secret place on her own to bring Scott back home. Scott later dies of an illness (not mental thank goodness). Lisey has to deal with her sick sister and a crazy guy who wants to kill her. She saves her sick sister and feeds the crazy guy to a monster. Later she finds a story that Scott leaves for her and it is of how his died.

I loved this book and show. Now I’m reading Burglars can’t be Choosers by Lawrence Block.

Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Martyr

I watched the last part of Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Martyr. It is based on the book Garden of Shadows which was written by Andrew Neiderman who is the ghostwriter of V.C. Andrews. Yes, I have read that book, but it’s been awhile since I read it. It has Jemima Rooper, Max Irons, T’Shan Williams, Peter Bramhill, Alana Boden, Evelyn Miller, Buck Braithwaite, Luke Fetherston, Hannah Dodd, and Kate Mulgrew.

Big Warning: there is hints of incest and a little bit of violence.

In this “episode,” Malcolm finds out about Corrine and Christopher and goes into a rage. He tries to kill Christopher. Corrine hits Malcolm with a vase and he releases Christopher. Olivia confronts Corrine that Christopher is her half-brother. But she says they are in love anyway. Corrine and Christopher run away. Olivia is convinced that if Malcolm is no longer there then Corrine will back home. So she slits Malcolm’s picture and makes the banister loose so Malcolm will fall to his death. But he doesn’t die, but he can’t talk or walk. She becomes his nurse and invites her uncle to stay. But her uncle wants to rape her so she stabs him. Olivia takes over the house and Malcolm’s company. Corrine and Christopher have four children. Christopher gets killed in a car wreck on his birthday and Corrine ends up coming back home. Hence the start of Flowers in the Attic.

I liked this “episode.” Next week I’m watching The Forever Purge.

Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Murderer

I watched part 3 of Flowers in The Attic: The Origin: The Murderer. It is based on the book Garden of Shadows which was written by Andrew Neiderman who is the ghostwriter of V.C. Andrews.

Big Warning: there is some hints of incest.

In this “episode,” Alicia does show up at the Foxworth Hall to tell them she has cancer. She tells them that she wants them to take care of Christopher when she passes. They agree and they tell Corrine that Christopher is her uncle. But in reality, they are half brother and sister.

Olivia comes to her senses and rescues him. Joel gets disinherited and leaves with Harry. When Corrine and Christopher fall in love and they have sex on Malcom’s mother’s bed. Olivia sees them. Mrs. Steiner ends up working for the doctor and she finds out about Joel and Corrine’s birth records. She bribes them, but Olivia pushes her and she hit her head and dies. They bury her.

I sorta liked this “episode.” Next week I’m watching the last part: Flowers in The Attic: The Origin: The Martyr.

Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Mother

I watched the second part of Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Mother. It is based on the book Garden of Shadows which was written by Andrew Neiderman who is the ghostwriter of V.C. Andrews. Yes, I have read that book, but it’s been awhile since I read it.

Big Warning: there is some hints of incest.

In this movie, Olivia does pass on that Corrine is her daughter. Alicia does leave with Christopher. When Alicia gets sixteen, Malcolm does looks at Corrine in a terrible way but doesn’t touch her thank goodness. She wants to go to a party, but Malcolm refuses and Olivia sneaks her out anyway. She gets pregnant and Olivia takes her to get an abortion. Olivia discovers that there are some poison plants in a garden near the house. She thinks about poisoning Malcolm, but doesn’t. But Corrine does try to poison him. Then on Mal’s wedding day, Malcolm kisses Mal’s bride and Mal sees it. He accidentally gets the poison thinking it’s pot and gets killed in a car wreck. Then Alicia comes back.

The Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Marriage

I watched the first “episode” of the Flowers in the Attic: The Origin: The Marriage. It is based on Garden of Shadows which was written by Andrew Neiderman who is the ghostwriter of V.C. Andrews. Yes, I have read that book, but it’s been awhile since I read it. It has Jemima Rooper, Max Irons, T’Shan Williams, Peter Bramhill, Alana Boden, Kelsey Grammer, and Kate Mulgrew.

Big Warning: there is some rape and incest in this and some violence.

In this first episode, Olivia is co-owners of a business with her father. Her father wants her to meet a man who they will have business with. His name is Malcolm Foxworth. Olivia ends up falling in love with him. Then she later ends up marrying him. Malcolm rapes her in his mother’s bed. (There is a reason for this. His mother would sexually abuse him in her bed.) She has two sons. But Malcolm wants a girl. Olivia finds out she can’t have any more kids. Then Malcolm’s father arrives with a pregnant wife. After his new stepmother has her son, Malcolm rapes her in his mother’s bed. Malcolm’s father has a heart attack. Malcolm’s stepmother is pregnant. Olivia stands up to Malcolm and tells him that she will pass off the kid as her own.

I sorta liked this episode. Next week I’m watching the next episode The Mother.

Outer Range

I had a trailer of the new show Outer Range and it looked really good so I made plans to watch the show when it came out. It’s on Amazon Prime. Today I watched the last show of this season. I am really hoping they will do a season 2 because it left me hanging. You know that drives me crazy.

Big Warning: there is a little bit of violence, big twists and a cliffhanger.

It starts out that a ranger named Royal who finds a huge hole on the western pasture on his land. He puts his hand in the hole and sees a vision of the near future. Later a hippie woman named Autumn shows up and asks to camp on Royal’s land. He agrees to let her. She ends up knowing about the hole and alot of other stuff. She also pushes Royal into the hole and witnesses the future and he learns he had been dead for two years. Other strange things happen and Royal gets in a showdown with Autumn which turns bad and good in an odd way.

I love this show. I really want season 2.

Deadwood: The Movie

Deadwood was a tv show on HBO back in 2004. I loved the show and was mad they canceled the show. Then they made a movie. I had taped the movie when it was on HBO. The show and movie has Timothy Olyphant, Ian McShane, Molly Parker, Paula Malcomson, Dayton Callie, Jeffrey Jones, and Leon Rippy in them.

Big Warning: have tissues ready and there is alot of violence (of course since it’s the wild west.) Note: the movie doesn’t actually follow history, but I like how they ended it anyway.

The movie takes place 10 years after the show ended. So it’s 1889. Ms. Ellsworth comes back to Deadwood. George Hearst is a senator and he is wanting Charlie Utter’s land. Hearst kills Charlie. He does get put in jail and Al doesn’t have to kill Trixie. Trixie marries Sol Star and AL dies with trixie by his side.

I loved this movie. Next week I’m watching Once Upon a Time in Deadwood.

Behind Her Eyes

I finished reading Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. There is a show on Netflix that is based on the book. Yes, I watched it.

Warning: there is some violence and a big twist at the end of both the show and book.

In this book, a woman named Louise meets a man named David at a bar. Louise was supposed to have met her friend at the bar, but her friend didn’t show and she knocks into David. They talk and laugh. When they start to leave, he kisses Louise. The next day Louise goes into work and sees the man from the bar and his wife. David is her new boss. They end up having an affair. Louise has terrible night terrors and she sleepwalks. Louise takes her son to school the next day and knocks into David’s wife Adele. Adele and Louise end up become friends. They go to the gym together and Adele gives Louise a e-cigarette. Louise doesn’t tell David about the friendship. Later the lies catch up with Adele and Louise and things gets ugly.

 There were some differences between the two, but I’m going to tell what they are because it would spoil the twist.  I loved the book and the show. Now I’m going to read The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Winter is not coming anymore

I’m sad because I just watched the last episode of Game of Thrones. It’s sad there won;t be anymore. I think they said either a movie or prequel will happen, but I don’t know when that will be on HBO.

I’m a little mad about the ending of the show. Yes, it’s a fair ending, but I didn’t like it. Yes, I do plan on reading the books sometime. Winter is gone, not coming anymore.
