I was hesitant after reading the summary, but I decided to give it a go anyway... I am so glad I did. After the first chapter I was hooked. I read it from cover to cover in one night. I will be anxiously waiting for the next book in the series!

I think I would have to read this book again as I don't think i have given it a very fair response. I was made to read this in school for english class, because of this i never really appreciated it and so one day I will come back to it.

I got this book from the library, just because I got the cover. I didn't see who wrote it or what it's called. After I finished the last page, and read the author's biography, I realised it's the author of The Book Thief, a book I have bought and adore. Then I realised why I loved the main character. He reminds a lot to the boy I love, and Audrey resembles on me. What I loved the most about this book was the message the boy gives to all those people, and for no particular reason. I loved the symbolism with the aces. Perfect book. I even enjoyed it more then the book thief. Thank you, Markus, for making me think about becoming a better person. Great job ♥

"Now I’m going a little more up-to-date modern. My fourth one would probably have to be Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal. I just really liked it. It was one of those movies that’s creepy but really entertaining and just different, and I really, really enjoyed that. When I saw the previews for it last year, I was like, “Man I really want to see it.” And I never got to because — we go to the movies often, but not as much. But whenever I do, I always want to go see a good movie; I want to see a movie I’d been wanting to see. So since I wasn’t able to watch it, I rented it the first day it came out, and I thought wow this movie is really, really good."

This is exactly what you would expect from this series of films. A bit of a laugh and a few silly jokes. I particularly like the characters of Chow and Alan, their humour appeals to me and I did have a giggle in parts.

Enemy to friend
This is a great tale that shows how a wolf becomes a friend to a hunter and evolves to more.
Some of the shots were shot near where I live . So i love seeing the Canadian badlands on the large screen.
  
I received a copy of this book as part of a first reads giveaway. I learned a lot of little details about all of the Kennedys while reading this. It definitely kept my interest and is a great read for anyone that likes history.

Brillant performances from both actors in a intresting movie based on a true event. I knew enough about the watergate scandal before I watched the film to get a better understanding of Richard nixion still a good film thumbs up

After Avengers, I was pumped to see this movie. Who didn't want to know what ended up happening to Loki and Thor? Well, I think that most people weren't impressed, me included. In fact, I'd only seen the movie twice before I rewatched it on my flight from hell a few days ago.
It wasn't as bad as I remember, but I may be more forgiving as of late. Loki and Kat Dennings' Darcy, were by far the best part of the film, but the story fell a little flat. Kat It felt rushed. After this film, I wasn't sad to see Jane Foster gone, as she was relegated to a damsel-in-distress character, which I wasn't a fan of. It was definitely the reason I think it was a good idea to axe Foster in Ragnarok.

I think they wasted Christopher Eccleston's Malekith too. Malekith was yet another generic Marvel villain, which wasn't a good thing to be post Avenger's 1.
