I really enjoyed this book(considering it was a school mandate read). This was one of the better books that I have had to read, thank god it wasn't a repeat of A Separate Peace, or the Diary of Anne Frank. I really thought that this was going to be a really boring read, and was not expecting much from it, but I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised.
The good. Id have to say about 90% of this book was good. I thought the length of the chapters was pretty perfect, not too long, not too short. The plot was easy to follow and kept me engaged the whole way through. The art style, despite being really simplistic, made the read more enjoyable as a whole. The Bad. I felt that some of the chapters didn't really need to be there. There were times where the story didn't really progress, and nothing really happened, but it still felt like it was dragging on and on and on. This was the only big flaw in my eyes, aswell as the fact that the side characters didn't really feel that fleshed out. Like Marji felt like a whole character, but the side characters felt really one dimensional. overall - 7.8/10

I really enjoyed this movie. I really liked how the first 30 mins of the film was a typical style marine comedy of basic training, but then it went into a sort of psychological thriller for about 15 mins before Pyle shot himself. I loved the comedic elements of what the drill sergeant was saying. this was a movie that I was really excited to watch, because I had seen the beginning clips so many times, that i was thrilled to find out what the rest of the movie was like. Overall id give FMJ a 8.65/10.
This was definitely a decent film. It really wasn't my style, or something that I would usually watch, but I can see why people would think it was good. I am not someone who can watch long, drawn out scenes of little to nothing happening, which was kinda prominent in this movie. There were more than a few times that I felt nothing was really happening and I was just watching someone live their life. However, I did really like the characters. I quite enjoyed Maxim whenever he was in a good mood, and the new Mrs. Dewinter definitely added some extra charm to the movie. I loved the whole”klutzy new rich girl” vibe that I was getting. I would give the movie 6.7/10
