It’s for those who haven’t read the book, planned on doing so, but then neglected it so often that watching the movie was a last ditch effort. I have to say, the acting was bad, even for Diahann Carrol, Esther Rolle, and especially the little girl playing Maya’s role. The story isn’t bad, but the quality of the movie itself was very disappointing. Watch is anyway.

My mom suggested I read it, so I’ve made a promise to myself that I’d do that. I once borrowed the book on tape/cd years ago, but it was poetry. I may have to look for this book on tape/cd.

I’ve bought play books before and haven’t finished them. I’d read the play only I was in.

Very enraging, very touchy, very difficult to read as a subject matter.

I bought this when I worked at a fast food chain. I noticed that the workplace wasn’t measuring up to the principles listed, but my current job is. I love the idea of how to treat co-workers, eventhough I’m not a manager, just a mere employee.

I fidget. A lot. My hands need to be kept busy. I craft beaded jewelry, make duct tape wallets, sock monkeys and I just love arts and crafts in general. I was watching, “She’s Crafty”, when Wendy Russell had Mark Montano as a guest, the same one who wrote this colorful and fascinating book. I bought it and have gotten so many ideas on things I’d like to do, things I’ve done, but having applied any of them since its purchase.

I bought it years ago, and have only cranked out journals, but not as decorative as these ones.

It’s a difficult read for anyone, especially women. It’s also an important book, for anyone and everyone.

It made me think of the little things, like what would’ve happened had I missed my bus, or if I had caught it? Or if I called in sick, how something so minor could affect the rest of my life. I didn’t expect this movie to be so fascinating to me. I don’t remember how I came upon this gem, but I really liked it.

Loved the whole idea of the seven deadly sins. I also saw this as the story of the serial killer. Since he considered himself a John Doe type, we don’t focus on him directly, but through the crims he committed and through the detective’s discoveries as they chase him. I’m still fascinated everytime I watch this film. I have the VHS, but someday I plan to chuck that and buy the DVD.
