Book Rating
I can't even explain how much I loved this book! I adore Anna Kendrick. She's always struck me as a famous person that doesn't think they re famous & would therefore be amazing to hang out with. This book only solidified that idea in my head even more. She seems so normal, it was like your best friend was sitting next to you drinking a beer & telling you about their life. It was an easy, entertaining read. She is so witty & has experienced so much. She tells her story like she can't quite even believe it. Great read!

Pixar do it again!
A very good and enjoyable film that all ages will love. The story sounded odd at first but it's a very cute film. It has a great 10 minute opening which is nearly silent and quite sad for a Pixar film. Once we get to the old guy getting up out of bed and setting off to fulfill a promise it actually becomes quite funny in places. Definitely one all ages will love. Once again the level of detail in the animation is amazing, they seem to set new levels with each new film!

Beautifully written
The boy I love, for me, was an emotional, yet amazing book. I fell in love with it many years ago, when I found myself so engrossed it was near impossible to put down.

While books based around war aren't normally my thing, Marion Husband captures personal struggles, dealing with coming home from combat and a forbidden sexuality in a very classy and believable way.

The story is rich, the characters are three dimensional and you get to see them develop right up until the very end. I highly recommend this.

Okay I find Adele really hard to rate probably one of the hardest for me personally because on one side she has an absolutely amazing voice and as a person I think she is wonderful but on the other side when it comes down to it I have a really hard time relating to her music and because radio and every other source of media tend to play her music out so bloody fast I just don't really enjoy her actual music.

After listening to this album I'm still not a fan of her actual music even though she is seriously talented.

If your not watching you are seriously missing out.
Game of Thrones is one of those few shows that seriously lives up to all the hype, while it can drag on a bit at times which is to be expected when you have so many main characters, not all of which you like or care about you do get an amazing story that while massive is really fun to watch.

For me, the standout for the show is the costumes they are all so breathtakingly designed and unique to the shows world I could watch this show just to watch the costumes.

Slick cinematography, dark tales
This film's graphic novel style cinematography is original, effective and beautiful to behold. The black and white effect with certain colours highlighted reminded me of looking at old style comics. The multiple stories that mesh together are all extremely dark, from serial murders to molestation and exploitation, it's Rated R for a very good reason. And while the Tarantino style gore can be surprisingly easy on the eye especially in black and white, it seemed extreme at times, filmed for the sake of being violent.
  
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
2018 | Action, Sci-Fi
An extremely amazing film with an ending they tell you is gonna happen from the beginning, yet you don't believe it. Characters that get the most development are Thor, Vision, Scarlett Witch, Doctor Strange, Gamorra, Thanos, and the Hulk, which, when you think about it, is still quite a lot.

The ending makes you really feel like something has changed in the world. The acting is great. The special effects are really good. This is the first time I have ever noticed the score in a Marvel film. Go see it as soon as possible in theaters. This is an actual cultural event.

Hard to follow
Tough
I took quite a while to finish this book, I had to have a couple of breaks from it. I'm not sure if it's because it's quite old and the style of writing is hard to understand but I found this quite hard to follow. It seems to jump from characters and there's alot of quotation marks missing when needed, again this may be because the book itself was written a long time ago. The actual story is amazing and Oskar risked his entire life to save so many people.

fantastic read
This is the second book this series by this author. You definitely need to read these books in order. This is a second chance romance read from this author. Amazing, lovable characters, you just root for all the way through the book. These characters have such intense chemistry between them. This story just pulls you in right from the start and keeps you reading until the very end. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.



Highly recommended read

Holly Black is amazing
This book follows the story of Jude a mortal girl who was raised in the world of the fae. Jude is a morally grey character. This makes the story more interesting because her actions are not easy to predict. It was a nice change from the typical YA hero who always does what is right. My one complaint is that the book did start off a little slow, but by the end I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, and I hope they don't disappoint.
