Awful, I wanted to tear my hair out
I think I may be too sane or too old to have read this book. It definitely did not appeal to me. Most of the time you wish for the antagonist to meet a horrible accident or to be killed in a brutal fashion. But mostly the author's over emphasis on inner monologue becomes grating to the point it gives you a headache.

The story is over the top involving murder plots, psychopaths, sex and the mafia and completely implausible. And it all surrounds a psychopathic twin called Alvina. It's like reading a long drawn episode of Sunset Beach - beyond ridiculous and just irritating to the extreme. I persevered until the end but suffice to say I won't be reading this author's books again.

Detailed character building
Great casting
Excellent follow on
MCU takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions as you follow Steve Rogers trying to settle into modern day life. We are introduced to Sam AKA Falcon who becomes a major character in the MCU and an old face is brought back.
Steve has to decide who he can trust, while dealing with the reveal of who the Winter Soldier actually is.
While Bucky Barnes was Steve's oldest friend and protector while growing up in the first movie, we see Steve gain a supportive and understanding friend in Sam, someone who can see beyond the superhero, to the man behind the shield.
The ending of this one, while leaving a few loose ends naturally, has a much better overall feel to it

Mediocre Magic
There are some questionable creative decisions in this movie and it is extremely cheesy at times, but if you liked the first one then this is more of the same. It isn’t a bad movie and all of the cast do a fine job, Lizzie Caplan is probably the stand out performance here, every time she is on screen she is full of energy and highly entertaining. The special effects are good and although it is a fairly silly plot, it works for what it is. The same goes for the movie, if you take it for what it is, (a corny, fun, popcorn flick,) then you will have a good time with this one, just don’t go in expecting Oscar material.

This is the first Final Fantasy I've played since X-2, and I was worried it had changed too much for me to like it anymore, but my worries were unfounded.

This is a fantastic game. Not for people who don't like RPGs, but if you love side quests and epic stories, then this is a great game to play. The world itself is immense, the effects are brilliant and the game play time is very worth the money. Although I've finished the main story, I still haven't finished all of the side quests!

My only negatives about this game is the dialogue and the ending. Playing lots of side quests etc means the talking gets very repetitive. And without giving anything away, the ending was just beyond depressing.

Ugh, I'm about two chapters away from finishing this game and I am SO not ready for the end. The story has emotionally damaged me enough as it is! The game is super fun to play though, so kudos to Square for at least making it worth the many year wait.
