Run Time book review

Art often imitates life, but what happens when life imitates art, imitates life, imitates a draft? Keep reading to find out what book I'm reviewing today. 

Hey, I'm Kyla Denanyoh! Today, we're talking about the book Runtime. Run time, run, run, run. So, you got a film reel going on the cover. Looks like some trees and all this stuff. I didn't see all that. I didn't see any of it. I didn't even see the little house in here. I didn't see any of that when I chose the book. Katherine Ryan Howard writes the book. The genre of the book is fiction. The theme of the book is suspense. 

Spooky, spooky, spooky.

This book is about not having to be the most talented to become the most popular; you need some luck. Luck pretty much runs the world. All you have to do is work, get lucky, and boom, there you go. Kyla, you gotta record these videos. The right person's gonna see them, boom, you're huge. Luck is so essential, and it's imperative in the film industry. 

One of this book's most important plot twists is how life, especially being an actor or an artist, is all about luck, sometimes even more than talent. 

The story follows two friends, Julia and Adele, and their lives as they rise to stardom. So you're reading the book, and you're just like, Okay, there's a script, there's this, wait, there's a, hold, hold, hold on. Where did all that come from? 

Right, and so it's a mind twister. It's not gaslighting, but you were wondering if everything you saw was happening because you're just like, huh, what? 

That plot twist about how sometimes you have to be lucky more than being talented is so crucial to the entire story because revenge is best served cold. People do not forget stuff. People will hold on to things for years. Good luck. Good luck because you never know if you could offend somebody, and they're just waiting, plotting, thinking, and finding ways. It's too much. It's too much. It's too much. 

The fact that sometimes it just takes luck more than talent is indicative, but it also means that you're coming after me for revenge. I didn't do anything. I got lucky. You can't hold me accountable for being lucky, but people do. This book will tell you that people will 100% hold you responsible for being lucky. They don't care. 

So, would I reread this book? I can't. I would not reread the book. No, not even an excuse or a reason why, but I wouldn't reread it, but I did enjoy reading it. I don't want to know what Adele, Martin, or Gus are doing, whether fictional or real. I don't want to know what nobody's doing after it ends. 

Please let me know how you are feeling about suspenseful and thriller books. Again, I've just been on this kick. It's been fun. So, I pick up a suspenseful book every couple of weeks. I'm shocked that I'm starting to enjoy this theme because I cannot watch a scary movie. I would say to save my life, but that seems a little on the nose. I can't watch scary movies. I do not enjoy being scared. But I will pick up a frightening book, and it's thrilling to read. It's exciting to see myself get really into it. Knowing I can't read the book at night is exhilarating because I'm a little scaredy cat. It's pretty cool. So let me know how you feel about suspense books. Can you read them at night? 

Until the next book review, Kyla
