I thought it started slow and dragged a bit. But once it got going it was a great story. The end was a little to quick and forced, and I didn't relate to the Church stuff - so I could have done without it. I wish the conclusion "whodoneit" part was thought out better- it was a great concept but it all seemed forced into one page of dialogue. #RHMysteryPack #Sponsored

I loved the humour in this film, I found it hilarious. The acting was great and you didn't really know what was happening!my only downfall to this film was that I had seen another film with a similar concept which was really out of this world and I found myself comparing the 2 quite often.
Definitely worth a watch, for a laugh and a bit of suspense!

I generally find thrillers slightly disappointing and somewhat predictable but I found Before I Go To Sleep an enjoyable exception.

It is a creative, innovative plot and you are really drawn into Christine's world living day by day with her.

I found the ending built in suspense spectacularly and found the novel as a whole compelling.

 A good page-turner, intelligently written with a good twist at the end.

Absolutely beautiful artistic renditions throughout. Amazing soundtrack. Great story. Being from the same folks who brought us Your Name, I had very high hopes. I wasn't disappointed, but there were a couple of elements present that I didn't think added much and maybe even detracted a bit, which is why I stopped short of offering a full TEN rating. Still remains a wonderful work that should be checked out.

I love this series! And as much as I love Jace and Clary's story, I was a little bit hesitant to start a new trilogy because I wasn't sure if I would still be as invested. I have to say, I love Emma and Julian. When we first introduced to them, they were so young and I wasn't sure if there story would capture like all the precious novels. I absolutely loved this book and I can't read the next book in Emma and Julian' s story!!

This book was very interesting. I liked the concept and I found myself intrigued with the premise of the book. I did like the characters. Even though they were a little too juvenile for me I found that I could relate to them. The characters were interesting. I liked that it was a quick read. I may continue on in the series but I'm still not sure.

Ultimately, I liked the book but I will admit that I am still unsure about the ending.

"This was such a good introduction to sampling, and the idea that modern music could be made from the past. It inspired me in a big way. I applied to Harvard, and I wrote an essay about Endtroducing. It was based around the idea that bringing things together in this way could be applied to all art forms. I went to Columbia University because I knew I wanted to go to a school that was academically rigorous. I prided myself on getting good grades but I also hated it. I used to wonder why I was busting my ass at calculus when I was interested in the arts, but I felt that there was a relationship between working hard at school and taking your dreams seriously. I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it."
