Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
$15.99
Julie Andrews is as guarded with her personal feelings and emotions about her life as she is the prim and proper lady she presents to the public. While she is honest and forthright in the telling of what had to be a difficult and challenging upbringing, we, the readers, would probably have enjoyed knowing more (from her) how it shaped who she is.

It would also,have been more spicy if she had elaborated more on her relationships with some of her sexy costars such as Richard Burton, Robert Goulet and Paul Newman. Oh well!

I look forward to the next installation. Hopefully, there will be one.

I actually bought this song for someone else. It does echo the sentiment of just wanting to go home--even if "home" is not there anymore. Great song, done well.

Understand first that I am a liberal, a passionate environmentalist and someone who spends enormous time working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote more sustainable living. So, I should love this film, right?

Sorry, but this is the kind of pretentious enviro "art" that gives the movement a bad name. True, some of the photography is stunning, but the painfully minimalist narration and moaning "native" music (reminds me of the theme from "Battlestar Galactica") are like a bad political commercial: all emotion, no facts.

Actually there are a few facts offered, but as others have pointed out, many of those are flat-out wrong. (Last time I looked, our species had been on the planet for around a million years, the first cities were created around 7,000 years ago and the Grand Canyon was in Arizona.)

I know a lot of Greens who get off on guilt, and they'll probably enjoy this immensely, but it certainly won't educate anyone, change any minds or do anything else to help save the planet.

Marilynne Robinson's "Home" is hard to describe, but I'd say that it is more about emotional impact on the reader than enjoyment of story. The general theme of the prodigal's return is at the heart of the book. In this case though, the prodigal, though beloved by his family, is one of life's lost souls who cannot be redeemed completely.

It's brave of author Robinson to create characters that ultimately do not triumph. Redemption is usually a favored theme for readers and here they must settle for forbearance or endurance, with no hint of something better in the future. For the prodigal son, Jack Broughton, the author offers no hope of redemption or happiness.

Whether you enjoy this story or not, you can't help but be impressed by the spare beauty of Robinson's language that makes the scenes in an Iowa farmhouse come alive without embellishment or artifice.
