Production value is dramatically immersive. (4 more)
4 different POVs about one historic event complimented the story nicely.
The quality of the actors was incredible, although I wish Cillian Murphy's character had more of an arc.
Remarkable special effects!
Brilliantly & patriotically British.
I understand that it's a factual event, but the ending was an unsatisfying portrayal. (1 more)
The soundtrack built too much tension which created a few anti-climatic scenes.
Where time is the true enemy.

The writing style is lively and I couldn't stop reading. I was 90% finished with the book and I had to wait a couple of days to finish the last 10% because I got caught up with emotions and I just didn't want this story to end

Macey is a naive high schooler who wants to find a date to prom. She reads way to much and decides to use 10 steps from her favorite romance novels in order to get a boy for prom.

This is a short, sweet, and uniquely funny book. The premise is cute and while Macey is beyond naive towards the true love it is so short it doesn't matter.

Upset the head and you’re dead
A Charles band movie that actually isn’t too bad. The head of the family is literally that, a giant head on a tiny body and the rest of his siblings are just as odd. I’m a sucker for these sort of films, it’s got full on weirdness, mixed in with a dose of nudity and a special Joan of arc scene. Who wants more from a movie

<i>ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you.</i>

I related to this book so much! The drawings were so funny and cute.
I laughed so much at some of the chapters and must say I had my favourites...such as the adult stickers and the tunnel of love (so funny as so true).
Some of the sections did go over my head but most of them I really enjoyed.

Weird, just weird
1st time that I've watched one of the Studio Ghibli films and I've got to be honest it wasnt my cup of tea. Bit like the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, with a different storyline arc. Very strange and a bit of a mind trip.
Like I say, not for me, but lots of people love it. 8/9 for some. Just a 6 for me
  

"I made a short film for the sixtieth anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival (Artaud Double Bill), which is a meditation on the scene where Anna Karina goes into a cinema to watch Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc and sees Antonin Artaud on-screen. Something about this sequence seemed to define the essence of cinephilia. Perhaps it’s just the thought of seeing actors watch another film within a film I’m watching."

This book is over 300 pages but the writing is awesome so you won't mind! The book is well written and you will adore the characters. This book is unlike anything I have ever read. It is about teenagers playing MMORPG, lightening strikes and they wind up in the game. It is full of adventure, and twists and turns. I can't wait for book 2. I am giving a voluntary, honest review of an ARC from NetGalley.

Lies, indeed!
This story is about what happens when one moment, one choice, leads Joe Lynch into a tangled web of lies and deceit from which there seems no escape. It was well-written and well-paced, and kept me guessing until the very end. Technology & social media play a very large part in the "gaslighting," if you will, which was a smart play by the author.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the ARC!
