As I've still not read the comic book the show is based on I will soon still liking the show just watched episode 10 of season 2 and still hooked to see where the Runaways go next in their fight with there parents. Nice to see Julian MacMahons character getting more backstory as we find out his connection to pride and to Karolina bring on season 3 want to know more and where they go next also got to mention old lace the dinosaur the real star of the show

This is an incredibly charming kids' film. My eight-year-old daughters both enjoyed it tremendously (it had hi-jinks, funny kids, and a squirrel). But my wife and I both found it engaging too. Ben Schwartz is lovely as Flora's dad. Lots of comic book references, plenty of action, and it's sweet without being too schmaltzy. We've already watched it twice. (Side note: I haven't read the book it's based on, so I cannot comment there, but we're getting it from the library, because we found the film so enchanting.)

A really good book
This book was actually a good read. I was a bit skeptical when I found out it was a vampire story. However, it was very well done. It did not go over the top with the focus on vampires, it did not totally steer away from the plot like other vampire based books recently. It is not some cheesy teen drama with vampires book. It was a book with a bit of romance in places, a bit of vampire-centricity in others, and a lot of action, and a nice concise story. It did leave some questions hanging which really ruins the immersion, but you can look past them and enjoy the book. The next one looks really cool, and I will be reading that in the future.

Storyline
Snooze fest
I decided to watch this film because i enjoy horrors and the trailer made it look good. However i watched an hour of it then has to turn it off as it was extremely boring and slow paced. I did go back to it the next day to finish it as i wanted to know how it ended. I hoped it would pick up and be scary but sadly it wasnt. There where bits that seemed like they were supposed to be scary but they just weren't. The story seemed interesting but it left a lot of questions and didnt explain what was going on. As its based on a book i feel like the book may be better. However i havent read the book.

I loved this book! it wasnt what i expected when i chose it but i wasnt disappointed.
The story is loosely based around peter pan and the lost boys and wendy but with a modern twist and set in the real world.
"Neverland" becomes a facility where experiments are carried out on children with the goal being that the children will develope special powers.
The story is easy to read and follow, the characters are engaging and loveable and i throughly enhoyed it.

Good show, starting to wane now
A good story based on the book by Piper Kerman.
The first 3 seasons of this were excellent, really gritty and true to life, after this the quality waned off and became a little ridiculous, season 5 was completely ridiculous and I dread season 6.
Im actually glad its the last one.
As I said the show has given me joy to watch for the first few seasons hence the 7 rating.

First, can I just say that I LOVE this cover? I am honestly not even sure why as pink is not my color. But it pulled me in and made me want to read the book (great job to whoever designed it!). This is my first time reading a book by Betsy St. Amant and it will probably not be the last.
Based on the description I was expecting something a little romance, some yummy desserts, and to learn to see something in the unexpected. I did all of that, just not the way I expected to

I had heard about this book time and time again over the past couple of years on reddit so when I finally got my hands onto a copy I had to dive in. I love all things horror, and this was the perfect amount of genuine creepiness and true psychological suspense. I've seen a few rough reviews based on the author's writing but I disagree. It was easy to read for me and had just the right amount of emotion in it for me. I would love to see more from this author!
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Washington D.C. Monsters: A Search-And-Find Book in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Having a curiousity about the capital, having family from there or are just plain curious about the places to visit there, this book is a great way of introducing little ones to that environment. Another book in the city looking at places in the United States of America. Based on the task of searching for monsters this book encourages readers to use their observational skills to look for and find the "cute" monsters. I say "cute" as to prevent my little one from getting the idea that monsters are everywhere I made them out to be cute, monsters in the cupboard and under the bed are enough for us thanks. Some of the monsters were easier to find than others which allow for a longevity for the title that is not always found in this type of search and find book. All in all, a worthwhile book to get those little ones curious about the world around them.

I heard mix reviews a out this movie. So i was going in to it with low standards. I loved this movie. Lets face it this not about good guys and bad guys but female empowerment. It is a crazy road trip but it is based on a comic book character so who cares, sit back and enjoy the ride.
