The same with Memento, it took a bit of getting in to and realising what was happening as there's lots of toing and froing with the story but I enjoyed it. Mick saw Gladiator years ago and really enjoyed it but it's taken this challenge for me to watch it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-16953736790998407532015-11-03T20:08:35.941+00:002015-11-03T20:08:35.941+00:00I'm glad you liked the PF book.

Dot, for example, is a very demure young lady on TV but not a word you would associate with the one in the book!<br />Graham said Memento was a really good film. I've seen Gladiator, a while ago now and can't remember too much about it!<br />Lisa xLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286339918056081955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-12082721371807353712015-11-02T17:39:39.617+00:002015-11-02T17:39:39.617+00:00I think it was a really good story and a unique wa...I think it was a really good story and a unique way of presenting it, quite hard going at times though.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-14293199641448217132015-11-02T14:43:13.684+00:002015-11-02T14:43:13.684+00:00I liked Memento very much, but like you it was a l...I liked Memento very much, but like you it was a little tricky following it at first.

Did you enjoy the Phryne Fisher mysteries "a lot"? I just don't seem to get time to read a lot. Maybe it would help me relax sometimes. I'm not sure about Xmas this year as there is so much out there and the grandkids swing from one thing to another. Wonder how much you'll achieve with the lead up to the festive season on the challenge front?
