Handling fra Goodreads:
Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, "By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isn't the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as 'the living dead'?"
Biografpremieren på World War Z er den 11. juli 2013, og filmen har Brad Pitt i hovedrollen. Jeg er ikke helt klar over om jeg rent faktisk tør at se denne film på storskærm, men jeg craver at læse bogen!
City of Bones af Cassandra Clare
Handling fra Goodreads: When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?Den første bog i serien The Mortal Instruments bliver filmatiseret og kommer i de danske biografer den 29. august 2013. Castet er bl.a. den smukke Lily Collins og Kevin Zegers (kendt fra Gossip Girl) Jeg har længe gerne ville læse denne serie af bøger; nu må jeg snart i gang!
Carrie af Stephen King
Handling fra Goodreads:A modern classic, Carrie introduced a distinctive new voice in American fiction -- Stephen King. The story of misunderstood high school girl Carrie White, her extraordinary telekinetic powers, and her violent rampage of revenge, remains one of the most barrier-breaking and shocking novels of all time.
Make a date with terror and live the nightmare that is...Carrie.
Den 31. oktober 2013 kommer Carrie i de danske biografer; endnu en fra min lange Stephen King must reads, dog en af de øverste! Ligesom World War Z er dette dog ikke en jeg er sikker på om jeg tør se i biffen. Endnu en god ting ved Stephen King er at gode skuespillere gerne vil lege med; man finder bl.a. Chloë Grace Moretz, Judy Greer og Julianne Moore på skuespillerlisten.
Catching Fire af Suzanne Collins
Handling fra Goodreads:Katniss is the spark to a revolution, and the Capitol wants revenge. She won the Hunger Games and returns alive with District 12 Tribute partner Peeta. But he and longtime friend Gale both reject her. On their Victory Tour of all the districts, locals riot but the winning duo must appear lost in their love.
Denne filmatisering er ikke ligefrem ukendt; den får premiere i Danmark den 21. november 2013.
Denne bog har jeg allerede læst, men jeg ville gerne nå en genlæsning. I modsætning til mange andre var dette min yndlings af de tre bøger; og jeg glæder mig som et lille barn til at se hvordan og hvad de tager med af bogens mange fine deltaljer.
Hobitten af J.R.R. Tolkien
Handling fra Goodreads:Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent.
Hobitten er opdelt i 3 film, og anden del af fortællingen har præmiere i de danske biografer den 11. december 2013. Jeg nåede ikke at læse bogen inden den første af filmene udkom, men jeg regner stærkt med at have det nået til den næste.
