I love Jim Carrey and I don't think there's a single one of his films that I don't like. This one is no different. I also really loved Zooey Deschanel! I thought she did a really great job and it's fun to see her play a more intense character than that of Jess from New Girl. I think the plot of this film is really interesting and I think they did a really good job of running with it and really milking it.

I could watch this movie again at some point so that's a good enough reason for me to like it.

I adored this book when I was a child, now I get to read it to my daughter. She loved the pictures but at her age I think it may have been a bit wordy for her.

"You can’t really go wrong with Boogie Nights. [I first saw this] maybe 16, 17, maybe a little younger. I have a lot of older siblings, so I saw really inappropriate stuff when I was pretty young."

Ray Dalio recommended Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography in Books (curated)

"I noticed a number of similarities between [Steve Jobs and I], especially when [the author] quoted Jobs’s own words. [...] but to be clear, I didn’t think that Bridgewater or I held a candle to Apple and Jobs."

what a shame!!!

I really enjoyed the book, so was really looking forward to this... but I struggled through maybe 2 or 3 episodes before I gave up... the format, the recordings and the actors were just all wrong. Felt like a cheap budget which was a real shame and not a good reflection on what I thought was a good story!

A super sexy read that I enjoyed, I never read any of the previous books in the series and it didn't detract from the story. Only thing I would say is 'the bad guy' in the book was a bit of a wash out and ended up being a minor irritation. I thought he would have been more of a problem to Dena.

"And then Marley & Me. I know, what a surprise. I went to the movie because it stars Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, and thought, “Oh, I’m going to laugh. It’s going to be a comedy.” And I own animals. Four cats. Once again, tearjerker. I’m such a sucker for a good film, and it was a great message that I absolutely loved."

I am not going to lie...I am a HUGE fan of the Great British Bake-Off...so I went into this one with a bit of bias :c)

Ruby did a lovely job...a few of the recipes are a bit fussy...but it's well explained :c)

Found some parts a little flat. (0 more)

I found it a little bit slow to start but once i had got into it i enjoyed the book very much. A clever plot with good twists kept me wanting to read a little more.
