<i>Moral Sins</i> is Wilks' best work, really showing her growth as a writer. I can't seem to figure out a way to give much more without spoilers, which wouldn't make any sense at all to those who are new to the World of the Lupi anyway. A good read, though!
  
A little too much on the "believe and it will work!" premise... but a fun read. I cared more about the worldbuilding and lore of the story than some of the characters, too. I feel like the story really set up a great series, so I hope the next books get better.

When I went to watch this I was a little dubious as I thought Will Smith had a lot to live up to in his role. In my opinion he was on par with Robin Williams but completely different, he had a certain swagger that was really funny.

"When I was 12, I spent three weeks isolated on the island of Sardinia with my father and his young family. I found a copy of Clavell on the bookshelf in the home that we were renting and it saved me. Historical fiction became a lifelong love, and James Clavell a guide."

"I used to watch it all the time as a kid. It led to my obsession with hip-hop as a teenager. I probably watched it like once a week for two years. I watched it again the other day. Even though it’s super cheesy, it’s still really well done and well shot."

"I think about this film all the time. It has a real nice shape to it. The final shot is a terrifying portent, but for some reason I find it oddly hopeful. It's a useful jumping-off point when I’m thinking about what I want people to get out of my own movies."

This is definitely not what I expected. I thought it was going to be a twisted story which it started off as (and I was quite excited), then it just turned into a sex book... sex is absolutely fine, but if you remove the sex from this book is there a story left??

I had picked this up because it sounded like a cute plot, too bad I was let down. When I first started reading this I liked Haley, but as I read more, especially towards the end, she got on my nerves. She was so judgmental and annoying. I got to the point that I wished Rick wouldn't get with her, even though I knew that was pointless and of course he'd end up with her. Oh well, you can't win them all. Maybe if the author had made Haley a little realistic and maybe some minor changes to the plot, it would have been a better (and funnier) book for me. Rick was a great character though, if not a little too perfect. That's the only reason I'm raising my rating. :)

I love this game and bought a PS4 just so I could play it as I was a Xbox owner.

I love that you have so many choices on the difficulty level as sometimes you just want to do story mode and explore the world. Other times you want more of a challenge to the game.

I dropped 1 point to it because you have a lot of different characters flirting with Aloy (and i love how she responds to it as to me it shows how she was raised in isolation) but I would have liked there to be more options on how it could develop relationships for better or worse depending on your responses.

Overall I think it's a fantastic game and can't wait for the next.

I also bought a PS4 just for this game! It was worth every dollar I spent.
