Advantages: a romantic comedy Disadvantages: a chick film, no extras or special features
Musicfrom another room was a dvd which I discovered in my local library and which I decided to watch on a Saturday night when my other half had gone down to the pub and I was in on my own with the wine and chocolates.
The Plot
Musicfrom another room is a romantic comedy, the film begins with Danny visiting his father's friends for thanksgiving and the next door neighbour (an old family friend) Grace Swann goes into labour and as a five year old boy he helps deliver her baby girl, who Grace names Anna, from that moment Danny believes that he is destined to marry the beautiful baby girl that he helped deliver.
All this is forgotten as Danny moves away to London and twenty-five years later he returns to his hometown after his fathers death. He finds Anna Swann, as beautiful as he imagined her to be and irrestible ...
Advantages: It's Bill Bryson, hilarious, excellently written, short stories Disadvantages: Some parts repeated from other books, can be irritating!
I've read several of Bill Bryson's books and thoroughly enjoyed them, so when "Notes from a Big Country" came up on BookMooch I was looking forward to reading it without having to pay for it (I know the library is another option, but I like to keep books written by my favourite authors - and Bryson is certainly in my top 20).
Rather than being a book as such, it is a collection of 78 short articles which Bill Bryson wrote for a column (which he was coerced into writing for!) in the Mail on Sunday's Night & Day magazine during 1997-1998. Therefore as you'll see it is very much written for a British audience.
About Bill Bryson
Born in Des Moines (Iowa) in 1951, Bryson moved to England in the late 1970s and spent 20 years over here before moving back to the US with his British wife and children. This gives him a very ...
Advantages: Bryson's dry, stinging wit Disadvantages: A little repetitive...I say, a little repetitive
I'm a fan of Bill Bryson. I like his dry, acerbic wit, and the way he bombards the reader with lots of dry facts yet manages to still keep it entertaining.
The latest book of his I read (although not the latest written), was Notes from a Big Country.
As I said, delivering trivial facts and figures in an amusing fashion is Bryson's forte and when those facts are about the land of his birth (USA), and are compared then related to his once adopted homeland (UK), I can visualize him virtually drooling at the prospect.
And so, following his return to live in New England after 20-odd years domiciled in Olde England, when the editor of the British newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, asked him to write a weekly magazine column documenting his return home, you would imagine he'd leap at the chance.
Actually, he kept complaining that he didn ...
