Wow, this book is an emotional roller coaster. I couldn't put it down. The writing wasn't amazing but the poetry aspect made up for it.

This book has you rooting for the characters and cheering them on in their journey. I wish that there was more character development. All in all this was a good, interesting book. I liked the combination of the slam poetry and the characters. It was definitely an entertaining read.

This book was disturbing and amazing, like a terrible train wreck you can't look away from! The protagonists are common enough that they seem harmless and boring but at the same time, unbelievably twisted and evil in their lack of morality and compassion. I felt sorry for and repulsed by the narrator almost concurrently while rooting for her redemption and condemnation. It is truly a sensational novel that keeps you interested, engaged and terrified.
  
Daughter of the Siren Queen: Daughter of the Pirate King Book 2

Definitely 100% leaps and bounds better than Pirate King - however, there were a bunch of spelling/grammar errors that just drove me insane. The story overall was amazing - it was a unique take on a siren - I have never read something like that before. There was a lot of mayhem and it was very exciting, though a lot of it was predictable it was still entertaining. Definitely a nice way to finish the series.

Not usually a fan of war films but...
This was amazing, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for the entire film. It was such a good build up with so much suspense and action involved. The cast were brilliant, one of the only reasons I agreed to watch it in the first place! But I couldn't fault this film at all. I really enjoyed it and so worth a watch.

Absolutely amazing!
Was not sure at all about this film with Hugh Jackman singing, (he will always be wolverine) but there couldn't have been a better actor for this film, in Love with this film, goosebumps for most of the film and you find yourself cheering for underdogs more than once!
Heart wrenching at pieces but in a whole a wonderful film that you can watch (and sing along too) multiple times!

This is an absolutely amazing book. Melissa has a way with pulling in the reader and making them care about her characters. In this book, you following Junie as she tries to first understand why her 4 year old daughter is regressing back to toddler-hood and then she takes you on her journey of discovering hidden things from the past which impacts everyone's future. Several different story lines come together with a surprising ending.

Amazing writing style
Superheroes? Or villains?
Dark and delicious
Schwab does it again with a dark and delicious unique story.
If you like creepy superpowers and questioning morals this is for you!
I loved how it switched to different times, both past and present and between different characters backgrounds, all while not being confusing, to create a complete and interesting story.
I really wish it came with illustrations comic book style

I was one of the people that received this book from the giveaway from Booklikes. I am still happy I was that fortunate. The book is amazing. It explains the human brain and the psychological thinking that you cannot even imagine. It is so thrilling, that you just can't stop and simply put the book down. It haunts you. I really mean it. It's one of the best psychological and crime stories I've ever read!

This is amazing. It really gets you invested in the characters, the dog is so adorable, and the story is nice.
I like to stop half way, because then it is just a feel good family movie, and I will not bawl my eyes out

Outstanding
If you are a fan of the 80's nostalgia and gaming then this is the film for you. The special effects are amazing, but what else would you expect from a spielberg film. Keep your eyes wide open for all the characters you can spot as the film goes on.

I won't give all spoilers as I do not want to give anything away. Just watch and enjoy the ride.
