Not a big fae fan

I obviously didn't read the description before buying this as I am not a big reader or fan of the fae. That being said, I did really enjoy the authors other series with a big tall tattooed fae in it--Ryker, I think his name was? Now that was an amazing series.

This one didn't pull me in half as much and I was really only reading if to the end to see what creatures they would all turn out to be. Kinda disappointed.

I won't be continuing the series.

Good narrative
Sometimes the character swapping is a tad confusing (0 more)
Having read all of Giovanna's books I thought this was worth giving a go. I was really pleased I did. Although not targeted for my age range, it was still a really solid book and I would recommend it to anyone. The fact that they both wrote the book is wonderful and you can tell who wrote what, which I like because it gives the book more character. The story is interesting and I cant wait for the next one.

They should have stopped after the first movie. This is the 3rd movie to the franchise and i hope the last.
Yes there is a story. Not a greatone
Yes there is action and that is the one thing it has.
The acting in it it sucked

I felt bored with it and many times i had to fight from turning it off. I wat hed it and i wish i did not. So unless you are a fan of the stars in it. Please skip it and watch something else.

1983 | Alternative
Rolling Stone's 223rd greatest album of all time
I really don't like U2. But I have come to realise it is the 2000s version of U2 I don't like, when they became self-righteous hypocritical parodies of a rock band.
This is a decent rock album, enough to keep the listener engaged between the bigger songs.
Disclosure: I realised listening to this I have never heard the full version of Sunday Bloody Sunday, only the chorus, and Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine's cover. I didn't recognise it for quite a while.

<b><i>Has it ever occurred to you that there might be another version to Peter Pan’s story? Would you want to see Captain Hook’s point of view? If so, then you will truly enjoy this lovely short read: Captain Hook: Villain or Victim by Ellwyn Autumn. </i></b>

I have always loved Peter Pan and this fairy tale is without a doubt my favourite fairy tale. The world is unique, and the story is amazing. Maybe Peter Pan was the reason I was always so in love with England. I will never know.

When Ellwyn introduced me to her book, I knew I had to have it. I had to read it and find out what Captain Hook’s story might be. The book is quite short, but full of adventures throughout. We follow the journalist, David J. Locke, who sails through the seas searching for Captain Hook. When he finally gets a clue, he dives into the story of Captain Hook and discovers truths that have never been told before.

Even though there were times when the Captain Hook’s story seems like a side-story to David J. Locke’s adventures, it was a pleasure to read it, and I read it in one sitting. The book keeps you interested throughout, and the fiction of the re-telling is quite smart and uniquely thought through. I am very happy that I read this book! I would recommend it to all of you that love retellings and love fairy tales.

A huge thank you to Ellwyn Autumn, for sending me a paperback copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

"Well, to be honest, it’s the first little book that’s in the [Imagination Library] program. It’s The Little Engine That Could. Because I’m the little engine that did. I always say that “I thought I could, I thought I could” and “I think I can, I think I can, and I still think I can.” So I think that’s a great little inspirational book. It really kinda sums me up pretty good."

Not what I was expecting (0 more)
Not really sure what age this is ranged at because although everything seems very child friendly and like a typical Disney movie the hidden themes suggest otherwise. To be honest though I think they did a good job for presenting these themes.
I watched this when I was about 17 and found it ok if a bit simplified in some area which is to be expected it being mainly family orientated but to be honest I love a bit of Disney to cheer me up although obviously I didn't get that from this.

Despite my personal tastes the movie itself has a good solid plot and a relatable and identifiable character as the main character is just experiencing regular life. I did like how they didn't shy away from presenting what happens when you can be in a bad situation as it increases awareness.

A very dark comedy, not quite as good as I expected after hearing a lot of hype. There is nothing that original or a big twist as such. I still enjoyed it though as a Nicole Kidman fan. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

A very good modern horror film. It got great reviews and I can see why, has some great make up scenes, a little gross at times and pretty good effects. I was expecting a little more from it, but it's still a good film to watch.
