This is such a wonderful book. It is in part set in the past in 1942 during the Vel' d'Hiv roundup during WWII in France and in part in 2002 following a journalist looking into the past for the sixtieth anniversary of the roundup. A story that you can't forget and what's more is even though it was fiction, I felt like I learned quite a bit because I had never even heard of the Vel' d'Hiv. Which says something about our education it seems. It seems odd that they turned one of the internment camps (Drancy) into public housing. Kind of strange. A very good book about Sara who locks her brother in their secret hiding place so as to save him.

Scott Pilgrim VS. The World
Ok, so this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It goes so far as to keep the graphic novel type feel throughout the movie. Second best movie of the year right behind Inception. It helps that it has the ever awesome Michael Cera. Seriously...could not...stop...laughing. Can't wait to see it again!

Inception
Chris Nolan is quite possible one of the greatest directors ever. I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie. The acting is fantastic. It is definitely one of those movies that you will need to watch over and over to pick up the minor details. Believe me, I have seen it twice and I picked up a lot more. I can definitely say that it was the best movie I have seen in YEARS!!!!
