"This was a surprise when I first saw it, and it remains a surprise. I initially viewed it on an old VHS cassette (lent to me by a friend) taped off of late-night TV back in the 1980s (commercials and all). It really wasn’t what I expected. Its low-budget veneer faked me out. I figured it for an amateur snore-fest, but the movie turned out to be a truly otherworldly experience capturing some quality of the dislocative feelings of a nightmare."

I really wanted to love this book. I really did. As a Malory novel, I was so sure that it would be just as amazing as the others I have read. In fact, when my grandmother gave it to me, I couldn’t wait to read it and bypassed a pile of books I had lined up to read.

Disappointment always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

While the novel still held Lindsey’s easy straightforward style, lovable characters, and hilarious dialogue, it lacks the magic that I experienced with the others. I think this is because the lead female protagonist, Amy, annoyed me beyond reason. I don’t think I have ever read a novel where the lead female was so obnoxious that I almost threw the book.

I give Amy props for being determined, but it reaches a certain point where I just believed her pathetic, to be honest. If she annoyed the hell out of me, I can’t imagine how Warren felt. It annoys me just as much that apparently sex can make people fall in love. Sorry romance novels, it doesn’t work that way.

However, I found myself laughing with this novel more than I did the others.

What I thought
I didn't feel as though that the book went into depth enough about Hays' past. I feel as though James Patterson should have done a second book to delve deeper into the history of the Elite.

I can't believe I legitimately liked a movie where Jessica Chastain was the lead character. Aaron Sorkin did an amazing job, because I was enthralled the entire time. Molly Bloom's story was incredibly interesting. It was a little long, but it did come full circle.

I thought this was a very good book. The drama brought me right along on the journey with the characters. I was a bit disappointed by the ending, however, but I thought overall, the mystery kept me on suspense right up to the end.

Every time i travel i pick up Historical Haunts book for that area. The stories are short. It will give you a page of info about the place and a page about the haunt. I would liked to see more meat on the bones.

I apparently needed to read book 1. lol This was a really good story. A bit confusing for me obviously since I didn't read book 2... but having not read it, the story was still very good. I am excited to read book 1 now.

I haven't seen the second film in this series and whilst I enjoyed the first one I thought this was better. It was a lot more humourous and many families will relate to it. A really enjoyable film that all the family can watch.

A total page turner!
I was so pleased with this book. It was an easy read but kept me wanting more. I had a really hard time setting it down and found myself thinking about it well after I was finished.
  
Its not my favorite go to soundtrack like I was hoping it would Be however it was very well put together. The songs flow I'm not really a movie watcher how ever I feel like I got a sense of the move by listening ????
