Fifty Shades of Deja vu
Spotted this on Amazon prime based on a a series of books I believe. I didn't realise this was the 2nd film in a series, not made clear at all on Amazon. It did keep referencing things that happened before you wouldn't know about. So I would suggest seeing After first..... But maybe just skip both.
This felt like a young adults version of Fifty Shades of Grey.. Just without the millionaire and for 15 rating. There really doesn't seem to be much of a plot as such. Despite the opening telling you this isn't a story you've seen before... It's exactly that and very clichéd at times. Ok cast and obviously had a fair budget for this but After you'll forget it quickly.

It started good. I liked his domineering attitude with her once she was at his place but then I sort of lost the plot... Why was he doing this to all these women? Why was he trying to get into the mob boss' good books?
The writing styles seemed a little stilted at times, rather formal, with it not having shortened wording, i.e. what is, that is instead of what's, that's and I found it a little off-putting. That's just me, though.
I liked Colt/Cole right from the off because he'd always loved her and no matter what he tried to make himself believe he couldn't hurt her or let her get hurt (which tugged at my heart-strings) and Rose/Lily was strong willed and also crazy about Colt/Cole.

A good book to dip in and out of when you just want to spend a quick half an hour reading. Interesting where some of the characters have come from, and others were fairly obvious and well known already. The author is very sarcastic about various films and books, which I feel sometimes spoils the character he is explaining but then other times enhances the story behind the inspiration. Although the chapters do split the characters into some sort of order, the actual chapters themselves don’t have any conceivable order which I feel might make it easier to read (maybe alphabetised or in chronological order of when the character first appeared?).
Overall, it was ok to waste a few hours and I found some of the stories behind famous characters interesting.

I recently had a go at reading Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic which was lovely (even if I am a little too old for these books now), and now I've read his The Giving Tree.
There's not that much I can say about this book as it is only 60-odd pages, but I did find it super sweet. Even at 16, I kind of enjoyed reading this short, childishly simple book...
It tells the unusual tale of love between a boy and an apple tree while the boy grows up and the tree gives everything she has to keep him happy. I thought it was just so cute!
If you have any young family members, I would definitely recommend reading this book with them. I might have to give this 4 stars...

Pretty good
I think my biggest issue with this book is the fact that I've read so many others like it, including more recent books from King himself. It's a shame as this book came out in 1980 so well before any others I've read (or indeed before I was even born), ive just never gotten round to reading it until now.
The story itself isn't bad and the characters are well developed as you'd always expect from King, and of course it's a well written story. I enjoyed reading it to a point and it was vagurly entertaining, but there's just something about this book that didn't wow me. It's a good read but it's by no means exceptional or stand out like a number of King's other stories.

One book that I will never tire reading
This book is one that I will always remember as one my first favorites that got me into reading fantasy. It is the only book that I have read more than a dozen times. It's a classic for a reason. The storytelling while some people say is over-descriptive will never get old to me. The journey of a young hobbit on an unforgettable journey is something that inspires myself and many others. The tale makes me wish I lived in a simpler time without the hustle and bustle of cities. It is greatly inspiring and makes me want to go on a journey of my own. It will always resonate within me. I recommend it to everyone I talk to about books.
