This is really a 4.5, but we can't do that on here. I really enjoyed this, but, like with previous books, I waited too long in between the first and second to remember everything that happened. It was a very good thing that Ally Condie added reminders throughout the book to remind people of what happened. I would very much recommend this book to people. The characters and storyline are both amazing and the writing style flows well. I can't wait to read the next one!

The way Estelliam writes just hooks you and will not let go. This is the second Alex Hope book and it was even better than the first, which was pretty amazing. Some authors struggle to mix romance with the suspense/mystery but Estelliam gets just the right mix so that one aspect doesn't over ride the other. The charcters are well developed and keep growing as the books progress. The setting is almost a character in itself because it plays a vital part in the story.

Must watch mockumentary
I've probably seen Best in Show a dozen times or more my parents used to watch it non-stop when I was younger and now that I'm older I guess I still can't get enough of it.
 
 It really is one of the best mockumentaries out there it's absolutely hilarious the plot is simple but amazing the cast is perfect each character is just so outrageous on their own that when you put them together it really just is Best in Show.

I loved this book! Again, this is usually not my type of genre that I read, but I was so intrigued by the plot that I had to read it!!

It is definitely an amazing read. It had me so confused throughout the book trying to piece everything together.

Definitely a well written book. There's even another twist thrown in at the very end!! This is definitely one of my top books!!

I will be reading more books by Linwood Barclay in the future.
  
Pina and Katie's adventures continue as does their quest to be together. The new characters in this book add so much more to the story that made it even more amazing. Of course I was picturing Hogwarts when I thought setting but I am a nerd. Maggiore does not just create a well paced suspense with numerous twists and turns but also captures the difficulties of being gay in that time. There is so much packed into this story I couldn't put it down. More please!

This book had such a huge impact on me as a young reader.

I had been introduced to sci-fi/fantasy via C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I was accustomed to allegory and metaphor in storytelling.

Frank Herbert introudced my young mind to literature that could be an amazing example of world-building, character development, and storytelling, but also embody a political activism that, rather than feeling didactic, becomes an essential element of the plot.

Dune is still the gauge by which I judge all other science fiction.

A bit of a disappointment
I will start by saying, I LOVE Chris Pratt, I think he is amazing.
I has high hopes and was really looking forward to seeing this movie. But to me it didn't live up to expectations, I can't really put my finger on why but I didn't enjoy it that much. There was a few funny bits, emotional bits. But I didn't really find myself getting lost in the film.
I was disappointed, but it was watchable. It was ok

2015 | Sci-Fi, Thriller
Found another great sci-fi drama/ thriller on Netflix called "Ex Machina"(not Netflix exclusive). The acting and cinematography were really good. The story unfolds beautifully and ends with a really good twist. This is a really thought provoking movie about technology and keeps you interested throughout. Alicia Vikander was amazing. She played her part perfectly. There is some full frontal female nudity, but not sex(deals with robots that look human). Not really for kids, but this one is really worth a watch!
