Has a lot of heart
Lovely visuals
Brutal yet beautiful
This game blew my mind when I played through. You control a number of survivors of a war torn country, trying to survive by scavenging and bartering. The game offers a very bleak out look in the worst of times. For those looking for something different with an emotional edge I highly recommend this.

One of 'those' books that's completely transformative - WOW.
I think this book is astoundingly beautiful. The whole concept of writing from the POV of death was inspirational, and worked exceptionally well. It's a heartbreaking read, and I don't often say that about books. Even if you have no interest in reading about the war whatsoever, you'll still get something out of this. Trust me!

It seems that half the world loves HONY & follows the Facebook posts religiously, me too. This book is just like the posts without all the scrolling & page loading. The pictures are beautiful & painful all at the same time. The stories that are told are so normal yet so extraordinary all at once. People are amazing & we are all more alike than many of us care to recognize or acknowledge. I adore this book!

Unique, masterful coming-of-age film
Richard Linklater is incredible. He has such patience and a wonderful eye for human nature. To make a film over 11 years is no mean feat and yet he accomplished a unique and beautiful piece of art. The film itself is about the childhood and adolescence of Mason Evans Jr. and the subtle changes of growing up, that make this an original coming of age movie.

Excellent narration, beautiful story and complex character development, and a surprising twist near the end of the book.
This book deals with some heavy psychological stuff, and really got me thinking. I was very involved in the characters lives and development, and I was very satisfied with the way the story ended. As long as you can handle some slightly intense scenes, any fan of thrillers and psychological stories will enjoy this book!

Ponderous retelling of the Christie novel.
This update of Agatha Christie's famous whodunnit certainly looks the part, and the who's who cast certainly give it their all. But for all its visual splendour, the film fails to really engage and is let down by plodding pace and bloated run time. Akin to watching a beautiful piece of antique furniture for two and a half hours.

This is world-changing and genre-defining
This story begins with one brighton boy reading Watership down,
This novel-based epic is a beautiful mix of crust and strings within a sort of ur-folk, which is hard to characterise to someone who hasn't heard it.
They make the subject matter leap at you with the slamming rifffs and souring melodies, anti-meat propaghanda never felt so good.

Beautiful thought provoking book
This is not my usual genre of book, but I was gifted it as a friend believed I would find connections to the character who I could empathise with. This book demonstrates what kindness can do in a world where we are quick to dismiss others quirks and behaviours that are not in line with ours. Beautifully written, this book left me gagging to know what happened next.

WOW is all I can say.. what a perfect ending to a seriously evil, beautiful, heart wrenching, loving, torturous book!? This series will make you feel everything.. from rage to love. I couldn't get enough and as hard as the last four books were to read, this one made it all worth it. LOVED this series- and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who loves a dark, dark read! Im still just blown away... incredible!

Fenton is too perfect for words, his determination, strength and devotion to Brynne is heart melting. This book was everything... a beautiful, touching love story filled with everything from hot a$$ love scenes to edge-of-your-seat suspense. I laughed, I cried... this book was absolutely incredible! Adriana has a way of making you truly feel as if you know the characters and are a part of their lives. Highly, highly recommended!!!
