This is not a hilarious book... Sure, I laughed out loud at parts, but it's a serious novel touching on serious issues. I was hooked by chapter one and seriously loved Amy Schumer more and more as I read on (I am NOT a fan of her show or comedy). She seriously stole my heart. I cried more than once and am touched by how genuine she is.

This is how I used to write reviews... Yikes! :-P

I found this to be a very enjoyable book! Some things were amusing, just the way gothics were written back then. Usually gothics are pretty predictible, but this one ended differently than I thought it would! I thought Carina one of the best protagonists in a gothic that I have read. All in all a quick, fun read!

I love reading and writing so I finally started writing my own book. Only a few pages into chapter two and just over 10k words. After 2 weeks of planning I am very excited to be able to sit down and actually write it. Plus I am also into this good book series called a vision of vampires. I definitely need to post a review for it soon.

Maybe this is just happening to me, but I posted a review via the newest version of the app and even though I selected 9/10, it posted as a 1/10. This happened with another review this morning, but as the creator I was able to go back in and edit what I had written. Apparently you can't do that as a regular reviewer...?

I have the LG G5.

Hi @Connie - thanks for the report.

This should have been fixed with the latest update.

Please make sure you have the latest version and let me know if you’re still having this issue?

Thanks.

Let me start by saying I'm not truly a poetry person, I don't know poems and I don't care for them. This one was basically written as a book but the spacing was quite like a poem - I enjoyed that immensely, it was easy to follow and the subject matter was just intense, it made you want to continue. I am so utterly happy that I read this book

I honestly had not seen this film for several years. I decided to watch it with my family on a whim while we were on a camping trip. I turned it on and realized just how well done this movie really was. There were a couple of effects that didn't hold up as well as they should have, but I was really surprised at how much I really enjoyed this movie.

Awesome kids book
I loved reading this book as a kid. I enjoyed the movie but it was very different from the book. The one thing the movie kept was her "gift" otherwise I remember it as being very different than the book. Its been a long time since I read this book, so I can't give a full length review other than to say it was an awesome read.

The movie was half and half to the book. Not too different but fairly noticeable. The movie downplayed a lot of relationships and upped the cheese. Great movie and book.

Why have I not seen this sooner
Why have I not seen this sooner?! I finally sat down to watch it after my boyfriend kept insisting. I always get a little nervous when a person says something is amazing and a must watch. This truely didn't disappoint, I was gripped feom start to finish and loved it. Class acting. Wonderful story. Phenomenal.

"It was hard to choose which Maya Angelou work I wanted to include in this list, but I ultimately decided I wanted the one that her most definitive. This is the book that made her a voice to be heard. I was also tempted to include her book of poetry, Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie, for which she was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize."

Interesting

I liked the outline of the story, I read it before I got the book. It was a bit of a roller coaster, a lot of things happened to the couple and you keep thinking that this has to be the end. But it's not, it keeps going. Overall it was not my favorite book, but I didn't stop reading it because I truly did like the storyline.
