To be fair, I did help fund this on Kickstarter (in fact it was the first time I'd ever used Kickstarter) and I was glad to pick this game to start with! I've since played it several times with different groups of friends and we all love the game. Adding in the expansions, which are amazing and quite funny, can make the game take longer (in particular the Apocalypse Expansion, as that is exactly what it was designed to do). Pick up a copy and have a blast!

Holy hell. I made myself read this slowly because I knew how much it would hurt. I was not disappointed. Cassandra Clare did an outstanding job in tearing my heart to shreads. Thank you for the pain. I can proudly say that I cried a lot because of this book. This was a beautiful end to a magnificent series. I am glad to have been a part of Clary and her friends' journeys. Thank you again, Cassandra Clare, for giving us readers such an amazing world to disappear into.

More Cameos
The Enchanted Forest
You're A Beef-cake Happy Meal
Back for season two, Galavant brings this chapter of the story to close. For those who love fun stories, actors like Timothy Osmondson (who is amazing here and from Psych), really set a great and fun tone. You've also got the continuation (and return) of great cameos like Kayle Minogue. It wraps this season up nicely, with hopes that it might have a future - this critic is a least hopeful for it! A story like Galavant deserves to go on.

OK, so 8 days later ( there should be a clue there) and I'm finally finished. Francine Lasala is a great writer with an amazing imagination but i really struggled with this book and until i got about half way, i even toyed with the idea of not finishing it, only my need to know what the hell was going on with Mina and who's real and who's not made me continue. I feel really awful not liking the book because so many people have loved it, but sadly its not for me

Okay but not amazing
I like being able to play whenever I want, but there are a lot of people who either quit or get disconnected. Maybe I don't like this as much because I don't know the people involved, or maybe I just can't get into it. I don't know. It has promise, but I wish the games were bigger. Only playing with 3-5 people and then having 1 or 2 of them quit takes the fun out of it mostly. It's still promising, but definitely not my favorite.

Amazing WWII story (2 more)
Full of suspense
Did not expect ending
Kristin Hannah has truly captured the chaotic and no-so-perfect sister relationship. Being the oldest of three girls I can relate to this love/hate relationship between the two sisters. How life can lead everyone in different roads but at the end family is the one thing that will always bring you back. No matter what happens family will disappoint, bring you down, and build you up, all at the same time. Cannot wait to read more books by this author.

This was a well written and created book but it was a little hard to read. The whole concept was amazing as were the characters. What made it hard was that it would jump through time and it wasn't exactly clear when that occured. The story covers three distinct times in the main characters life which is fine just often it would be one paragraph in one time then the next in another with no bridge. Perhaps, it was just me but this disrupted the flow of an otherwise very creative novel.

Crazy swings and combos
This is an amazing game and I’ve only played it twice. The first time you are lost and just going thru the motions. Then the clouds part and you see what the game can be. Crazy powerful combos and intense decisions. It’s a great game and a modern classic by a great designer. Only problem is that it can’t be reprinted for legal reasons so copies of the game can be very expensive.

Fantastic Film and Stunning Score
I saw this movie in IMAX and it made the film even more impactful. I thought the cinematography was stunning and the score was absolutely fantastic. Seeing it in IMAX was a little overwhelming at times, however, I think that made it even memorable. This was actually the first war film I've seen in its entirety and it was an amazing first one to see! The minimal dialogue really made the film feel more real and was a great addition.
