Review of Godfather

I was absolutely addicted to this book. It had everything I like; drama, action, and a great plot line that had you guessing at every turn. I loved the fact that it gave you an insight on an elaborate operation. The description that the author adds really helps me visualize what is going on and greatly improves the quality of the book. I felt that the book could even be better than the movie, which I plan on seeing now that I can compare the two. I would recommend this book to anyone over 14 because of the violence and adult situations, but I feel that it is interesting enough to keep a 10 year old into it, even it is in an adult mindset.

Literature Review of The 400 Blows

I thought that the film had a lot of potential to be dramatic and interesting but failed in doing so. There are many examples of scenes that were much too long and dragged on until my interest was lost. It was interesting to see a film in French, which helped make the film different, but exciting because the dialect changed the feeling of the film. The subtitles were a bit hard to follow because of the speed of the speaking, but once you got used to them you were able to get what the movie was all about. I felt that the plot lacked any electricity and seemed to plateau during the middle of the movie. I felt that the scenes had a random effect, with no real point or destination.
