Book Review - Last Light




Last Light is a novel by New York Times best-selling suspense author Terri Blackstock.  From the back cover: The city of Birmingham, Alabama, is experiencing a massive blackout.  Planes suddenly lose power and crash to the earth. Cars stall in the middle of the street and won't restart. Cell phones and the internet are dead.  All communications are cut off. Is it a terrorist attack....or something far worse?
My thoughts: When I started reading the book, it sounded just like the tv show Revolution because of the same scenario - power goes out worldwide and people need to adapt to survive.  What surprised me is that Ms. Blackstock actually wrote this novel years before the tv show!  In her novel, the Branning family members need to decide whether or not to hoard their possessions or to trust in God and share their resources with others.  While they are trying to rebuild their lives and learn to live without power, people in their neighborhood start getting killed.  Is it one of the Branning's friends or someone else? 
I really enjoyed reading this book.  The plot was fast-moving and the action keeps going until the end.  I would recommend this book to others and am looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
Disclosure: I received this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Free Birds Movie Release Today!

 
 
Happy November!  This past week just flew by with all the school activities and of course Halloween.  Today marks the nationwide opening of the 3D animated film, "Free Birds."
The movie is a ReelFX and Relativity production directed by Jimmy Hayward, who also directed Horton Hears a Who! The film is a buddy-comedy about two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks who must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history and get turkey off the holiday menu for good. Produced by Aron Warner of Shrek, it features the voices of Owen Wilson, Amy Poehler and Woody Harrelson.  What a great cast! I think this is going to be super funny!
 
The soundtrack has already been released by Relativity Music Group featuring the composer Dominic Lewis.  He is a British-born film composer and classically trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London.  The soundtrack also features Social Distortion's cover of Creedence Clearwater Survival song, "Up Around the Bend) as well, "Back In Time," from YouTube sensation and member of the recently-named elite in Billboard.com's '21 Under 21' list, MattyB.
