Iโm happy to suspend belief for a good tale but this is a ludicrous story thatโs not very good. The two main characters are a one-note nag and a one-note dufus. They should have been bumped off early but arenโt. Itโs all downhill from there.
Five Found Dead: A Novel

A brilliant, tight film. It's not for everyone, it's devastatingly subtle and lacks car chases, blatant plot points and any and all carpet-chewing. But its chronicle of a day in the life of a personal assistant to an unseen movie exec is riveting, if you have the attention span to revel in the nuances. Julia Garner (and the rest of the cast) excel at Kitty Green's minimalist direction. The scene with HR will resonate with anyone who has ever had a soul-destroying encounter with an HR apologist/bureaucrat. Note: those wondering if #metoo has changed anything will be disheartened by the many misogynistic barbs in the one-star reviews.

Another great King book. Itโs a wild ride from start to finish. And itโs a credit to Kingโs talent that he writes a book that is even more entertaining than all the one-star reviews from Maga-trolls whose usual hyperbole is nearly exhausted in their efforts to insult King, mask-wearers and the rest of the โradical leftโ. After their tantrums, Iโm sure many wonโt have the energy to head down to the library and burn any books that dare challenge their ignorance.
