Book Written by Sharon Hinck
Review from Christian Review of Books
The Restorer is Sharon Hinck’s first foray into straight fantasy and it is a wonderful read. First off, you need to know that I am NOT a fantasy reader. I couldn’t read JRR Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings or Hobbit until after I saw The Fellowship of the Ring. I simply couldn’t picture the worlds he created. Finally, my love for my husband and my sincere enjoyment of the movie pushed me to pick up those books. I enjoyed them, but I doubt I will read them again until my kids are old enough to enjoy them. |

I'll give you two short reviews this month. Neither of these flicks had the feeling of a full-meal-deal to me, so I'll give you two paragraphs on each.
When I read about the topic of A Perfect Day, I knew I had to see it. The main plot deals with a husband/father who loses his job on the day he was supposed to be promoted. What does a red-blooded American do when faced with this sudden loss of income, security, and self-esteem? Easy answer: he writes a novel, becomes an instant celebrity, and then has to deal with the success that follows, though not immediately since it takes a few weeks. (talk about fairy tales). Our fearless hero turns to digging ditches to support his family. Fate in the form of an angelic agent saves him from the muddy trenches. How does he repay the supportive agent after he hits it big? I'll not tell you. I have to wonder where I can find an agent like this one. She goes to his wife's aunt's funeral, which he doesn't even attend because of book promotions. |

I'm going to do something different in this review. Normally I take a peek at one full-length movie. Today I'm going to do two short movies. Neither of these are blockbusters, but both have relevant messages for the young people of today. If you're a parent of teens and pre-teens, these might be good investments for you. |
