Life of Pi.

2 of my kids had to read it for school, I was looking for something to read, picked it up, they both said "NO, it's so bad." I thought, whatever, it's a slim volume, short read, how bad can it be?

I want that hour or two back. They were right and I wish I'd never read it.

Never read it, but the adaptation - a.k.a. "Cinematography: The Movie" is an amazing watch as long as you ignore the plot.

And ignore the shitshow of a production

They literally named the part of the movie that they appreciate.

It's so weird, I've heard some people say this and I just don't get it. It's one of my favorite books.
