Yes, yes, and yes! Three of my favorites. Man, that guy can write.
And ‘Gone, Baby, Gone’ was actually a pretty good movie; I rented it on Netflix because it didn’t get much theater time here in Flyover Country. Directed by Ben Afleck? Hello? His younger brother Casey had the lead but he didn’t QUITE pull it off, IMHO. I thought their “Angie” was pretty good, but not quite tough enough.
The drugged out skank who traded her daughter for crack was very good, as were all of the “extras.” They were total trash and absolutely spot-on for the movie.
New Jersey just creeps me out. Please don’t ever make me go there again, LOL!
Thank you so much for sharing all of that! I was curious about “Gone, Baby, Gone.” I knew it was a movie but hadn’t realized that it was a book also.
