Took me a while to like this one..
A lot more produced than the previous albums, but once I adjusted, I was really taken with this.

A run of the mill espionage thriller, comedy? I was hoping for a bit more. Good cast but I just didn't find the story that interesting.

It's about 25 years since I last read this and I loved it, like reading a new book, all that you want from a Pratchett book

"Maybe When Harry Met Sally…, because I think Meg Ryan is adorable and I think that was a really nice look at a very funny relationship."

However, I never managed to get into it. I didn’t realise it would be quite as sci-fi as it seemed to begin with and struggled to relate to the protagonist.

I thought this was going to stay as a DNF forever, as I had a tendency to never try to pick a book up again after I have DNF’d it. However, just before I was going on holiday I saw a review for it over on another blog and decided that I should try it again. My tastes have changed a lot in a few years, so I was hoping I would find it easier to read this time around.

And I was right! I wasn’t hooked right at the beginning so it took some commitment to carry on reading. But now I really enjoyed the concept of aliens used in this and all of the mystery.

I actually got hooked on this! It’s almost like reading an episode of Black Mirror, which is another thing I’m addicted to.

Fair enough, I wasn’t completely sure I liked the characters, but you don’t have to love the characters in order to enjoy a novel.

I have an obsession with urban explorers going into abandoned places, and I love their videos. More Than This is set in a completely abandoned world, and I found Ness’s description of how nature took over a familiar place was really fascinating. This made me really like his writing and now I’m considering reading more of his books!

Good revenge movie
I don't agree with the tag line "nail Biting" It was a good movie with a decent plot. I hate the idea of using a kid as a means of death though

I could not put this book down. I was sucked into a new world. A fairy tale retelling of the highest caliber, Stiching Snow has a familiar storyline with delicious twists every time you turn a page!
