The book is for mature readers as it does show full frontal nudity of both sexes, however it is in natural circumstances and not gratuitous at all. But instead, we got a silly abrupt, death is death, myth and an ending that shows life continuing but rather without any hope. (I'm Catholic) I find these themes often come out similar to the Catholic view of death in many stories even when the author hasn't set out to do so. But was disappointed with the conclusion as I had really felt that the youngest boy's question about what happens after death was going to lead to a profound examination of death not being the end, or only the beginning or eternal life, etc. more inated by the story, attentive to the end to find out what would happen. The story comes full circle expressing to me the theme of people building walls around themselves, to protect them from the possible evils of life, but then only succumbing to a unfulfilled life that ends in death. The genre is either science fiction (which is actually mentioned in the story) or magical realism (an old myth/fairy tale is related to give this impression). It's up to the reader to make sense of the story and figure out the meaning for themselves. Otherwise, up until that point, I was absolutely mesmerized with this book! Such a unique, gripping story and completely spellbinding.

Old recently cast Coco and The Motorcycle Diaries star Gael GarcĂa Bernal, with the Mexican actor all set to lead the impressive ensemble cast. While the source material does not reveal why people have begun to age rapidly, Sandcastle is said to be the inspiration behind Old, meaning there will likely be a few changes between the graphic novel and the big screen venture. The graphic novel is described as an existential horror story about the inevitability of death that plays like a Kafka-esque episode of The Twilight Zone or Lost, which many will agree sounds the perfect story for Shyamalan to tackle. This appears to match everything that had been rumored about the direction of Old, and certainly matches the haunting Old poster that was revealed by M. Soon everybody is growing older every half hour and there doesn't seem to be any way out of the cove." Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. First there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. The plot for Sandcastle reads as follows "It's a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. Quickly purchasing the rights to the graphic novel, the storyline is said to have inspired the script for his upcoming feature. An insider has revealed that the Unbreakable director received a copy of Sandcastle for Father's Day and was instantly enamoured with the premise.
