There is a lot to say about this book, but I don't like giving spoilers. I will say that it is in my top ten favorite books of all time.
It gives you a disturbing sense of being both a child and an adult at the same time, equally amazed and horrified by events taking place. It makes you miss a place you've never been, while being worried you might have to go one day.

This book was magnificent. It's kind of like an adult Hunger Games mixed in with The Walking Dead, World War Z and The Road. No zombies, no vampires, no dystopian future but a very poignant look at human nature and dire circumstances. Although I am a bit tired of the time jumps that plague all current literature, these feel necessary and are almost a relief in cutting the tension at times. Great novel!

Excellent Story
I read this book when I was a child, then later on as an adult. The story is rich in details about the time period. When my kids were growing up, it became tradition to read it through the month of December.
To me the story teaches that it's never too late to have a change in heart, to learn to appreciate those around us.

<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.

This book is honestly for everyone from first time readers to long time readers and from young children to the elderly there's something for everyone. The character will continues throughout the book to develope in character rapidly and you can really see his growth from child to adult. With all the trouble will gets into it's not hard to see why I would recommend this to those who enjoy Harry potter

This, I felt, is really a movie of two parts: we have the CGI and action portions of the movie (set in the future, and largely featuring cyborgs), unfortunately tied to a somewhat lacklustre 'Young Adult' love story.
Oh, and if anybody ever wants a perfect example of 'Chekov's gun' (i.e. introduce a plot element early on that must go off later on) look no further than this: the 'Battle Ball' rollerball elements.

It's for Kids
Look, it's not Citizen Kane. But kids movies are usually not great, and kids Christmas movies are especially bad. This was actually enjoyable, especially because of the voice acting.
If you are an adult, I can't recommend watching more than once. But as a parent, I look forward to watching this over the Jim Carey version ever year.

She is...
This is a book about all Maggie O'Farrell's near death experiences and finally one of her daughter's. Beautiful poetic and hugely honest, although it's the brushes with death that it charters it is the surviving life that flows from the pages. It is a book about being a women, of becoming an adult, of having air in your lungs and another day to love.
