The book was good. The story was very good. The best part was the ethical dilemma wherein the reader was supposed to understand the implications of a person wielding telepathic abilities. There is an instance in which a person has immense power but that does not necessarily imply that that person would grow up to become cruel and authoritarian. So, we cannot just pull the trigger. Moreover, neither can we isolate a child from their parents. The best part I think lies in the upbringing and rearing of the child. Here, if Carrie hadn't been subjected to the misfits at the hands of her own classmates, she might have been better able to control her powers. The fact that she turned haywire can be attributed to the unfortunate incident at the girls' shower-room. The book was good, but it was too long. There was absolutely no need to describe a sub-instance of a plot. This way, the reader zones out through the plot and feels uninterested in the rest of the story.

As always, O. Henry won my heart. The fact that Bob was a notorious person still doesn't change my perspective towards him. He was totally unaware of the fact that Jimmy was the inspector questioning him of his acquaintance. This story throws a plight upon how two close friends part from each other due to their major differences in living life. Bob became infamous while earning criticism for himself whereas on the other hand, Jimmy rose to the ranks of a renowned police officer. Yet, he didn't had the heart to arrest his dear friend. Jimmy, here, gets caught in a dilemma where he has to choose between his duty and his loved ones. Nonetheless, he chooses the former and does not himself get mesmerized in the friendship leading to dereliction of duty. Loved this story very much!

The best performance of Matt Damon ever in a leading role. This was perhaps the second time when he and Jessica Chastain played the role side-by-side together after Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Really enjoyed it. The best part was when the Protagonist learnt about the ways of survival in a hostile environment. He was totally desperate to reach home as soon as possible. This movie also gives an insight into loving Mother Earth and safeguarding its pristine resources including its flora and fauna. This movie also gave the message of not losing hope even in the most desperate and extreme conditions. Moreover, the crew's approval and obliging tendency of helping their friend was equally spectacular. It made the audience wonder as to whether or not the Protagonist could be saved in the end. It gripped the audience's mind in a remarkable fashion and henceforth, cheers to the makers of this film. Funny of me, I thought that this film was made by Christopher Nolan. LOL!
