Mind bending and such a visual experience
I can understand why people may not enjoy this film but, I found it really captivating. By the end you 're left with more questions than answers after such a mind boggling journey throughout the film. The visuals in it are stunning and the cast is strong. I enjoyed watching this film a lot when I don't usually like sci fi films.

I've seen so many different reviews about this and I can get why people might not like it, but for someone who usually hates films like it I think it was amazing. There s 3 books in the series so I'm wondering if it will have more to come?

Maybe, but probably not since this one was not very well received.

When I sat down to watch this movie when it initially came out, I wasn't sure what to expect, I knew that I'd probably be rolling my eyes a lot. But, I actually found this film completely hilarious. The premise is ridiculous, and a lot of the humor is raunchy, but it wasn't too much, in my opinion.
Also, it's a plus that young/hot Sebastian Stan is in this film.

I had such high hopes for this! I'm a huge rhoa fan and enjoyed a couple other books by other housewives. I looked forward to reading this for months! What a disappointment! I didn't like the undeveloped characters, there wasn't much of an actual plot, and the writing was just awful. I can't help but wonder where the editor was in the publishing process cause this is just sloppy imo.
  
This wasn't great literature, but then I never expected it to be. It is a nice, easy read though and I thought it worked well as a modern version of P&P, although the second half of the book could have been drawn out a little more I thought - it's not clear exactly what happens to Wickham for example, and I do like my poetic justice to be well served!
  
I wanted to read this after seeing Kate Summerscale at the Hay Festival talking about the book. I found that I felt very different at the end of the talk to how I felt at the beginning!

A really interesting story and Robert Coombs becomes a real person to the reader across the book.

This would be a good read if you are interested in social history and/or psychology.

This was a beautiful take on a lot of powerful themes - love, loss, and life. I appreciated it even though I'm not a dancer which I believes speaks for the book itself. The language was lyrical and I enjoyed how everything came full circle in the end.



*Although I did receive this book for free through Goodreads First Reads, all of my thoughts and opinions are my own.

Not a rival to GOT
Personally i think its a complicated storyline to follow and doesnt really flow. I found myself having to force myself to carry on watching it and it never really grabbed meand engrossed me.
I have seen a lot of reviews that have said it rivals or is better than GOT, i have to disagree GOT captivated me from the get go and the Witcher just didnt

Hmm

I feel a little let down by this but for me, this author is hit and miss. Some I love, some I don't. This is definitely of the latter. The style was a little strange for me in the first part, like it was told in short before expanding into a fuller story after the first call out of the FBI.

Oh, well, on to another book I go.

Michael Sheen recommended Apocalypse Now (1979) in Movies (curated)

"It’s a film I’ve watched so many times, and every time I watch it I find something new in it. Again, it’s got kind of a strange beauty about it: it’s disturbing and kind of magical, and mythical and mysterious, and just shot amazingly. And there’s kind of a madness in it, which I really like as well. The original version, because that’s the one I know the best."
