While I am a fan of all things Disney, Emma Watson was a poor match for portraying Belle. The re was significant hype around the movie and as soon as she opens her mouth to “sing” I was disinterested. Such a shame, as I love Emma but this was not the role for her.

Whoa. As a girl with depression and anxiety, this hit me hard. I loved this book. There were compelling characters, with multiple flaws, relatable situations, and an amazing plot.
I admit, Wallace was a bit of a douche near the end, and that pissed me off, but, like he apologized, so it's fine I guess.

This movie is a really awesome Netflix Original. The cinematography is excellent. The acting is compelling, even the children are incredible. Lots of action, with a huge surprise plot twist. I was blown away when I realized what was actually happening. This is a very creative, thrilling sci fi movie and I highly recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book was incredibly creepy! Told in first person it explores a '90's childhood and the life of a child therapist.
There's some really neat twists that I didn't see coming.
I highly recommend this book.

If the Strokes had an English baby
I was really impressed when I first heard this album. I am a big lover of The Strokes, and honestly, it's so similar. Not in a way in which you could think they're copying, but you can hear a really strong influence on these new age rockers.

Before i watch the film on Netflix today
This is a great High school story what would you do different if you had only one day. I loved the concept and the execution was brilliant. This book has just been made into a film and finally on Netfix today. Personally I cant wait to see if they have done it justice. I hope so film review will be up in a day or two. As a whole im a fan of Lauren Oliver I love Replica having two stories in one book where you had to flip the book to read the others story was amazing. Delirium I had a harder time getting into purely because i had read Matched the day before and the story and characters where so similar it was hard to differentiate between the two. However Before I fall is my favorite of all her stories.
Cori June (3033 KP) rated Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales in Books
Dec 3, 2018
I shain't think to make anyone suffer the presence of Mr. Hyde let alone my friend Dr. Jekyll. Although, not a direct quote, I can clearly hear Mr. Utterson saying this phrase.
Remember: this book was made in the 1800s and set in London words don't always mean what you think they do. My edition (1994) uses a word or two that could get someone expelled if they say it in schools today.
Had I not read this before as a preteen/teen I don't think I would have enjoyed this book as much. I think that this book is great for ages 10-15 (not that adults couldn't enjoy it). As a pre/teen it invoked deep thought; as an adult I think... it's a nice story. Still, I am quite impressed in a book (of less than 100 pages not withstanding) that was written in six days.

And so, the saga of Jorg Ancrath comes to an end. It's been quite a journey, and not a particularly easy one in more ways than one.
Mark Lawrence is not an author to make things easy for you. Reading his books feel more like running a marathon, despite then not being overly lengthy. But as with a marathon, if you see it through you are greatly rewarded. I almost gave up on this series a number of times. But I am so glad I persevered.
I will admit I didn't like The Broken Empire as much as I enjoyed The Book Of The Ancestors, but I believe that is more down to the latter having a more tangible plot. (And assassin nuns, don't forget assissin nuns!) but I am still extremely glad to have read them. I'm sure Jorg Ancrath will haunt my dreams and nightmares for years to come!
