Uplifting. Beautiful story
There are not enough words to describe this story, but here’s a few; uplifting, comforting, friendship, community, beautiful, joyful, kind, tender, charming and a feel good novel. That should be enough right?

I had my head in this book and didn’t want to leave it or put it down. I was a part of that community with them the whole time, I was their friend and welcomed. I truelly devoured this story and sad that I finished it. It is a stunning debut. A must read if you haven’t already. One you won’t forget.

I loved the whole community within the book. The friendships, the bonds, the stories they tell and lastly how they always stuck together and fought together till the end. My heart was with them the whole time. A beautiful lot of characters, especially Kate and Rosemary they had such a cute and amazing unexpected relationship. I think they both needed each other to be honest. I loved them all.

Beautifully written. I cannot recommend this story enough. A must buy. A well deserved five stars from me and it’s got to have a place in my top twenty of the year. Beautiful. Amazing. Outstanding. Absolutely loved every minute of it.

Really excellent book - varied and complex characters within a slightly different setting to The Girl with All the Gifts, but brilliant plot that progressively upped the emotional stakes throughout. The epilogue was so beautiful, it brought tears of joy to my eyes.

Zombie movies have oversaturated our culture and frankly, I skip over them any longer, bit this film is a beautiful and heart wrenching foray into zombie carnage, a very refreshing breath of air in a toxic smog of a million crappy counterparts

Winter wonderland read
This tale is based on Alaskan folklore, and is rewritten in terrifying, yet beautiful prose. The characters were created with depth and with intricate humanity. This story will capture and hold you through its entirety, and leave you wanting more.

My all time favourite book! The descriptions are so beautiful and it really makes you think about what it is to be human. What defines us as human? It is a dystopian book yet set in a very familiar, country boarding school setting.

The new Android app is beautiful. I had a hard time using it for the first time, because I didn't realize you were supposed to scroll down to get past the introductory video. But since then, I've loved all of the changes!

Both fascinating and confusing in equal measure, Zack Snyder weaves a visually beautiful and sophisticated representation of the graphic novel. Ultimately too long and over ambitious with in my opinion Rorschach's story being the highlight. Not one I hurry to re watch.

This manga is touching and beautiful. The way the music is described will move you. It will make you want to hunt down these classical pieces and listen to them as you read. The characters are unique and enduring to say the least.
