I liked this. It made me laugh in places and i loved the banter between them. I think this is the first YA book I've read where the entire book is from the guy's perspective. It was different for me and i have to admit that i liked being in Brody's head. He's such a nice guy.

As for Hayley. She seemed like a great character from the beginning and i can truely see why Brody fell for her. They make a really cute couple.

"I first read it because it was on sale for a quarter in a bookstore in Penn Station. I thought it was going to be something like the Albee play. I read it on the train to Boston, and I felt that the prose had broken one of my ribs: it was so powerful. I had been a poet until then, not thinking of writing fiction and “Mrs. Dalloway,” let me know you could do in fiction what I wanted to do in poetry."

"Choice number three may or may not surprise you, but I absolutely loved, loved, loved Hidden Figures. If I were a young African-American woman, I would ask the question: Why did I not know about this story before now? And even as a 69-year-old white male, I want to know why I didn’t know about that story. It’s so inspiring. It’s almost like a fact-checked Frank Capra movie for the 21st century, and really, really, really got me psyched up about it."

Iconic
While I'm personally not that big of a Michael Jackson fan this is an amazing album and I definitely recommend it.

While not a fan I can admit the man created a truly iconic album with catchy hit after catchy hit and I can sing every song on this album. If you want to delve into MJ this is a great start.

An Incredible Film
This movie was just such a pleasure to watch. I left the theater with a smile on my face and a flutter in my step. It was incredible to see just how beautiful the movie was able to be. I would highly recommend to go see this movie.

Based on a bestselling French novel apparently. I have to say I was disappointed with this. It sounded like a great setting for a horror film with a good back story. However it just slowly plods on to the conclusion, some of the dialogue was pretty bad I have to add. Not sure how Mischa Barton got talked into this.

This was equally good and interesting.. and confusing lol.. It was very well written and was funny in a lot of spots.. I feel like it might have needed a bit more character depth to make it a bit longer and give us a bit more insight but overall i enjoyed this story and im glad i got to review it

An interesting addition to the series which runs concurrent with the last film time wise. The plot is starting to get stretched a bit thin now though, I liked the original films gritty realistic feel. Overall I think it was a bit hyped up and the ending was a bit sudden, not what I was hoping for but still a good action film.
  
An overall good read...took a bit of time to get used to the writing style so couldn't get into the book during the first story but after that I got more involved in the stories. I found it to be a little too 'fluffy' for me, however, I thought the stories were a good idea. So a good light read.

My mom gave me this book, shortly after I lost my beagle baby to cancer. It's a very nice little book for a keepsake. It has a presentation page, and a nice hardcover. The content is simple, but inspiring. I have it four stars because I would have liked it to have some colored pictures, or something throughout the book.
