Book Divas (227 KP) rated Garden of Thorns in Books
Dec 12, 2017 (Updated Dec 12, 2017)
This young adult fantasy is well written, keeps your interest and is full of action. I certainly enjoyed the romance between Rose and Rayce as it was a sweet love. This author is off to a fantastic start and I'm hoping there's a second book!!

Intense in all the right ways
Maragaret Atwood is a superb writer, with fleshed out concepts that on the surface are dystopic but are mirrored in current society. This book is intense and emotive, as is its recent television adaption, highly recommended to those that can handle intense and adult themes.

Great fantasy film
A very enjoyable film, that is well directed and has all round good production levels. It's almost like two films in one running side by side. It would have been a bit more interesting to see more of the fantasy characters and their world in which they live in. The film can be quite bloody and violent at times to which was a surprise, this is definitely for an adult audience.

Mar 9, 2018
A great evil comes to Narnia. Can good defeat it one last time? This is a different book for the series, and it certainly wasn't the ending I expected when I first read it in 3rd grade. However, as an adult, I've come to love it. This is my second favorite in the series.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2536 KP) rated Alice I Have Been in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This fictional biography follows the life of Alice Liddell. Her childhood friendship with the adult Charles Dodgson gives him the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland. The writing was very descriptive, but I was very creeped out by the way their relationship was portrayed. It doesn't say anything unseemly happened, but it still really bothered me.

If you loved Fantastic mr Fox film, you'll love this
Wanted to watch this as soon as I heard they had produced anither film. Was really good I enjoyed all of it and will watch it again.
Not suitable for younger viewers due to some scenes dealing with suicide, death, and other adult themes.

The typical love story with family drama and tension but with a twisted ending. William Shakespeare is an excellent writer. As a teenager, Romeo and Juliet was quite difficult to read. But rereading it as an adult, I understood every little sneer and joke that was in each conversation.

Excellent series that refreshes tee genre
Not going to dwell on the story about conglomerate super heroes and the source of justice for one of them killing the leads girlfriend in an accident. All I can say is its amazing, adult and isn't afraid to be graphic. Utterly excellent and honours the comic book series.
