Pieces of Her started off great, capturing our attention and intrigue. Unfortunately I spent most of the time getting annoyed at the scenery being so clearly Australian and them pretending they’re going to different states in the USA. Then it seemed to be a collection of Aussie actors who no one has seen for years appearing in roles that weren’t very clear. The young Jane was not well cast at all. She looked nothing like Toni Collette and so it felt like a very disjointed story. It’s a shame, because Toni Colette is great, but this series either should’ve been fully shot in the USA or otherwise in Australia. It’s very distracting. The story was a bit difficult to follow. Maybe the book is better…..

Under a Venice Moon was ok. It was not the best book I have read about Venice, Italy, or travel. The story was at times engaging, and at other times it seemed disjointed, moving suddenly into Venetian history, then back to Perth, then to a Venetian restaurant. My main issue with this book was the overuse of the word "fondamenta". It was used on almost every single page. It was really annoying. I did feel the Venice she was looking for and the need and desire to fit in to Venice and the realisation that she never would. Overall, it was an ok read.
