It's a decent plot and fairly true to the game.
Could have been better, but it helps if you've done the whole game thing. (0 more)
Based on the popular video games, Ezio sets out to seek vengeance against the corrupt and dishonourable.

Oh my gosh! I loved this book! I bought it on a whim based on a reccomendation & boy am I glad I took the chance. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor & I laughed through the entire book! I dont think I've ever been able to.do.that with an entire book before. I can't wait to rrad the next book.
I love the main character, Samuel. I teach & could see parts of plenty of my students in him. Believeable charactersvalways make a book so much better. Nurd is also hilarious...strange think to say about a demon from the Wasteland of Hell but it is true none the less.

Surprise
I picked up this book knowing that the series was starting on Netflix. I did not expect to be sucked in and unable to put the book down until I finished three days later nor did I expect to then go out and purchase the rest of the series based solely on the stories and writing of the first book. it is a relatively easy read but still full of interesting characters and stories and I'm looking forward to seeing them fleshed out further.

Might have been an ok movie had I not read the book first. Everything about it was wrong. It lost the meaning of the book completely and missed out so much it would be hard to believe it was based on the same story. The ending felt really rushed and I was surprised it has ended as it felt like an inappropriate time to end it.

Movie Favorite

"My favorite film is a Fred Astaire film called A Damsel in Distress. It’s without Ginger Rogers, but it’s based on a P.G. Woodhouse book, who is my favorite author of all time, and he wrote the script. And it’s hilarious, and it’s wonderful. Astaire is amazing in it. Joan Fontaine is 22 years old. It’s beautiful, and it’s based on this wonderful Woodhouse book. I watch that at least once a year. And it’s got Burns and Allen, and they’re hilarious. It’s a great film."

Justified Means (The Agency Files, #1)

Have you ever been hooked on a book by the first page?

I was with this book by Chautona Havig. Justified Means was based off the question, what if a company had to kidnap a person to keep them safe without letting them know? Chautona Havig does a fantastic job with this book and answering that question. I loved the action packed chapters, the realistic attitudes of the characters, and the faith based foundation of this book. I loved the characters in Justified Means. They were well crafted, great arcs in their dialogue, and I LOVED how Chautona Havig weaved in the story of redemption. Plus, the overall story and mystery/ suspense was compelling and really fun to read.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and I am sooo looking forward to reading the next book in the Agency series.

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honestfeed back. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Beautiful Stop Motion Masterpiece
Based on Neil Gaiman's book by the same name, this stop motion film is a beautiful representation, the stop motion is masterfully executed, the voices suite each character perfectly, the soundtrack is an immense accompaniment to every part of this film.

Hi @The Marinated Meeple - I understand this.

Are you referring only to other Smashbomb users, or non-users (by email) too?
