Kimberly..great question!!..I would have to go for James Mason's intro scene in Heaven Can Wait "This is not a dream, Joe, life has a quality..a feeling all its own..and so do dreams..you know this is not life.."
First time I ever saw him onscreen!! about 30 years ago!

SUPER LINE-UP!!

Coming close to finishing The Monk

Quite amazing novel..written in 1790..something!
I love the flow of language, also the ballads and poems that are included in plotline...important to read the preface as it explains that when book was written, Catholics were held in low esteem by the British..hence Matthew Lewis' anti-Catholic tone..must be read in that context

Life With Father..with William Powell

What day Ken???

Well, first of all..I will only review James Mason member writers..and as I have so much affection for allour Members..I only write positive reviews..easy to do asall the books I have read by members (well over 100) have been superb!!

Now, we come to the question at hand...I agree that honesty is one thing..but I have heard from many of our members about folks out there who simply have a grudge against them and will write horrific reviews (often multiple ones under different names)..this angers me no end!

So, while an honest review is fine..one must be careful to examine the motives of the reviewer.
