This is a film I have watched...
This week I am taking a look at the 2008 novel by Matthew Quick that inspired the 2012 Oscar-Nominated movie of the same name. Was this book the first that didn’t fare as well as the film, which you can hear me talk about with my friend Debi here)? Is the book better than the...
