My friend kindly gifted me this book for Christmas and it’s a fun little read that’s brimming with great and, to the credit of the author, unobvious quotes from various films. Definitely worth a flick through for any fellow cinema fans!

Okay, but would it really have been that much trouble to have someone proofread this book?

It’s a fun little book but a bit awkward on kindle. Some quotes were in a normal front, others really big.

Quotes say a lot
This book is not a trivia book about just a book of movie quotes for various occasions. I enjoyed this book because it shows how a piece of celluloid can leap from 5th e screen to delivery an important message to the viewers. Unfortunately not everybody will get the message in the quotes and that is the pity for all. But if you are looking for inspiration then check out this book and think about what is here.
