No Spoilers. I will say I enjoy a book crafted between two or more characters' conflicting viewpoints. I won't say much more other than kudos to the author for writing a story I couldn't predict the ending of. I enjoy stories like that very much. I think the plot and storyline couldn't benefited from perhaps peppering in some foreshadowing or backstory earlier in the book, but it was a good read overall.

I absolutely love Now You See Me. This was the third time seeing this film I believe but it had been a while. It was impressive because the movie felt so fresh and exciting. I was a huge fan of this movie the first time I watched it, and I was a huge fan of it again. The twists and turns are always exciting and real, and I really like the characters.

First off, I don't want to admit that I judge a book by it's cover... but I do. This cover looked intriguing to me so that is why I chose to review it.
I read the first chapter and wasn't too sold on what was going on. But I continued on, to really give it a fair chance. The more I got farther into the book, the more complex the story line became, and it was just too confusing to follow. Between scuba diving (in which the author explained in great detail, which was a plus), a past love affair, a kidnapping by people who seem to be mobsters, buried treasure from long ago and ghost stories, I think it's just too much for a reader to process. I felt like there wasn't even a chance to connect with the main characters (Chase and Rachel) because the story was taking me this way and that way and all over the place. Some parts of the book were well written, just not the entire book as a whole.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary electronic book from a website (in which I was told not to post the name of). I was not required to write a positive review, only an honest one. The opinions I have expressed here are my own.

Of course, I read the book first, so I was aware of how everything ended up shaking out at the end. Emily Blunt did a fantastic job with the character, and I felt like she was a good fit. I was glad some things were changed from the book, because I felt like some of it was completely unnecessary. It was a solid thriller.

I won't lie... this book took me a very long time to get in to. Being the type that can't start a book & not finish it, I kept at it. Eventually it did get more interesting, but it took such a long time to buy in to the plot that I couldn't rate it well. I w's well over halfway through it before I was hooked.

This movie was almost torture to watch, in fact, I don't even think I made it to the end. I feel like this movie was made for a different demographic than I belong to, because I thought everything and the situations were just lame.
The only redeeming factors were Gal Gadot and Jon Hamm. Other than that, this was a boring, laughless stinker of a film.

As a previous user of iPhones, I was always disappointed over the lack of storage and was sceptical about changing over to samsung however I was pleasantly surprised. Once I moved over I found I could expand the memory using a micro sd card and install a lot more apps from other sources.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I started it and couldn't put it down. I read the entire thing in a day and was brought to tears multiple times. This is a gut wrenching read that I recommend to anyone who wants to get a better emotional feel for so much of what is going on in our political climate right now.
