Two Things I Liked Less .. (First Day of Spring Edition)

All is Lost sounds like a neat film, but watching even a little of it got fairly boring. I think it might have worked better as a short subject. Secret Lives is an early book by Diane Chamberlain (see side panel) that starts pretty well, like the writing style and various aspects. But, one subplot doesn't work well and it simply goes on too long to hold up as a whole. Does lead me along with the other book to try her again.
