UNKNOWN TALKS- EPISODE 11- All the bright places by Jennifer Niven (book/movie opinion)

                             ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES

                                                  -By Jennifer Niven




Hello, my amazing unknowns! How is life? Well, now that I am back, I have decided to do a book review. I read the book in a week and I finished it last Friday. I watched the movie too (it is on Netflix) but I think the book is ten times better than the movie, as I think it is kind of more lighthearted. I have to say this now, it can trigger some people because it mentions- suicide, mentally illness, grief, loss, bullying, and bipolar disorder. Now, let's dive in...

The story starts with Violet Markey standing on the ledge of the Bell Tower (where her sister died a year before) and meets Theodore Finch who tries to take her down. Violet's sister died in a car accident (with her in the car) and since then she has stopped living her life. Finch is known as a freak in the school. Finch is fighting bipolar disorder and tried to commit suicide multiple times. Finch and Violet have to do this geography project, where they have to wander Indiana. At first, Violet didn't want to go but Finch convinced her for only two wanders but while they are wandering, they are starting to open to each other and eventually fall in love. Finch tried to hide his pain from Violet while making her live her life again. Finch had family problems and his father was abusing him when he was little. I must say, Finch was my favorite character as well as Violet.

That is all I can tell you guys because I don't want anybody to get any spoilers. The book leaves you in tears, and the movie too but I personally think that you must read the book before watching the movie to understand the characters and the events better. It is sad, and no it is not romanticizing mental illness and suicide but it does make you realize how these things can lead to committing suicide. The actors who played in the film, Justice Smith- Theodore Finch and Elle Fanning- Violet Markey, did a wonderful job playing the characters. The movie, the quotes, the love scenes, the characters, the events, the wanders are just unique and Mrs. Niven really did the most to make this amazing. I am actually so proud of her for ending up on the New York Times Best-Selling authors and her book too. I have been crying and thinking about it for days now, and I have watched the movie three times by now. I am a fan of Justice Smith since I saw the movie, and for Elle Fanning too. 

I enjoyed the way they transmitted and described the pain the characters went thru and I respect Jennifer for putting Suicide helplines and different helplines you can call. It did trigger me at some point and did make me wonder about my mental state, and no, I am not lying. And Jennifer Niven responded to my tweets about her book and her!!!!!! You can see it on her Twitter account.

I hope I convinced you to buy the book and watch the movie! I hope you enjoyed this!

“What if life could be this way? Only the happy parts, none of the terrible, not even the mildly unpleasant. What if we could just cut out the bad and keep the good? This is what I want to do with Violet - give her only the good, keep away the bad, so that good is all we ever have around us.”

Have a nice day!

UNKNOWN TALKS- EPISODE 4- THE BROKEN SOCIETY

Imagine
                             THE BROKEN SOCIETY                                                                        -By Joane Unknown Before we start, I want to add a disclaimer. This post should be taken as seriously as possible and it may have some triggering sentences that may bother some of you. I am not judging anybody, I am just analyzing today's behavior. I am 13, and no, I don't know everything about the world we live in but I see things and even if I am young, you should consider my opinions. Thank you so much for reading this and enjoy! This is society is broken, completely broken. We hate to hear the truth from people. We are silent so we don't hurt anybody. We fake smiles and even our lives to seem cool, to fit in. We change ourselves to "fit in". The people who don't fit in are called weird. That is why some people are outsiders. They want us to fit into a type. What type are you? The funny one? The smart one? The weird one? Well, weird is not

I am taking a break

 Yes, I am taking a break. It is been probably two months since I started this blog and I need a break. Nobody reads my blogs anymore, and I am kind of sick of working on a post for hours and nobody reading it. I hate the fact that I have to deal with nobody reading my posts. That is why I am taking a break. I have tons of books to make reviews for that I have read but I am no longer going to make reviews.  I don't know if it is going to be a couple of weeks, months, or even a year. I just need to choose my priorities which are a school, family, and writing. I am working on a book series and that itself is stressing the shit out of me. Not to mention that school and tutoring hours are going to start soon and that is going to take a lot of time. But, anyway, see you someday! Joane Unknown

I am so happy to make this post even if I had an awful night, but I am here to write. So, I finished this amazingly written book two days ago, and it left me with my mouth open and myself shook.  The story starts with Abbie, a robot (or the way Tim calls them- cobots) that looks the same as his dead wife. Tim wons a technology company that creates cobots. Abbie (his ex-wife) committed suicide at the beach house six years ago and since then, he has been building the cobot version of Abbie. Tim has a boy with autism named Danny that is helped to act normal by Siana, the nanny. The book shows Tim's real face and the truth about Abbie's suicide. The cobot Abbie is trying to know more about Tim's ex-wife and where she was because she didn't believe she was actually dead. Tim said that Abbie drowned while surfing dur
