At 80, I have only begun to watch movies...now I watch two a day! I think Mickey Rourke is one of the best I have seen and have searched for his movies. Of course, Anthony Hopkins has evolved in 30 years as one of the best. David Morse is also terrific and Kelly Lynch as the deranged girlfriend puts in some sexy flavor! Desperate Hours was very entertaining and I am going to try the Bogart rendition!.

This book, written to emulate the time of the setting in the late 1800's may be difficult for some who are not well educated....and those my well need to bring along a dictionary. But, if they do they will not only learn something of value they will also get an excellent read. I found this book quite delightful and I am looking so forward to the production of a movie of the same name. This is the annotated version of the original book actually written in 1885 and was out of print for many years before rediscovered by Project Gutenberg. Since the book is in the public domain having been written prior to 1925 and whose author has been deceased for more than eighty years, the rights to reproduce is not at issue...nor is the fact that this is a very funny caper and should be read aloud with the children for it contains nothing but clean fun! Good reading to all!

This book is a historical fiction about life in a Catholic orphanage in the years before Roe which legalized abortion and emptied the orphan system by killing unwanted babies. The book covers the years 1942-1956 with non-fiction detail woven into a fictional character and his attempts to find love. The book speaks to the truth of how the orphanage was operated by the Sisters of Charity. It was a very good read for anyone who has an interest in this period of our history.
