I selected this book for a leisure read as I wanted to find out if it's different from the movie version (starring the late great Robin Williams). The book explores deep themes such as living a fulfilling life and personal redemption. So far, the book is living up to my expectations as it is so much richer compared to the movie. Don't get me wrong - Robin Williams is a FANTASTIC actor. However, the book explores a lot of mini stories that the movie couldn't afford to. If it did, the movie would have been 5 hours long! Although I think I know how the book is going to end (as I have seen the movie), I have a feeling that there will be some twists in the story.

My favourite sentence in the story is uttered by the main character as he laments about his regrets in life - "Failures plagued me. Things I had omitted or ignored, neglected. What I should have given and hadn’t. I felt the biting pang of every unfulfillment".]]> 2020-04-07 09:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/operaestateprisch/NLB6C/wish/496374145 https://padlet.com/operaestateprisch/NLB6C/wish/527197545 The name of the book is Bats.The author is Elizabeth Carney.I selected the book as i wanted to know more about bats.Yes it is living up to my expectations as i have started to get some knowledge about bats.The book till now is going very very good. ]]> 2020-04-24 01:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/operaestateprisch/NLB6C/wish/527197545 https://padlet.com/operaestateprisch/NLB6C/wish/527199806 My book is named “how to kill a dragons fury” by Cressida Cowell.I borrowed the book as it is a book about the movie “How To Train Your Dragon”It is living up to my expectations .

I read this book because i like dolphins a lot, it is living up to my expectations. Dolphins wont be used in the future, instead the navy will use robots. Dolphins can find sea mines using echolocation.
