I need to enjoy the story, be intrigued by the plot, feel uplifted by the themes, bond with the characters, feel smarter at the end than I did at the beginning, and not be offended at the violence, language, or sex. I mean, I really expect a lot from my books. I recommend Elantris for all fans of Fantasy, 14 and up.Įlantris and I really got along. AND as a bonus, it’s even more fun to re-read again to look for the Cosmere Easter Eggs you missed when you read it the first time as a Cosmere nube!

So now, I hope if people love "To Die For" they'll discover that there's a book. My one regret with "To Die For", and this is no fault of Buck Henry, is that nobody knew there's a book. Really, nobody wants to hear from the writer, but Buck contacted me many times, we met, we talked and he was hugely respectful of the book. I had almost nothing to do with Gus Van Sant on "To Die For". But the whole feel of the experience was totally different. Top quality cast, director and adaptation.
