Still holds up, Still amazing, still taking punches and never giving up....
This movie is amazing for what it is.... a boxing film about an underdog... it's so masterfully done. There is nothing i can say that hasn't already been said... there is a statue of him in philadelphia and he's FICTIONAL.... I don't think that has ever been done before....
here's some amazing alternate movie posters as well.

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!

I loved the movie of this book. Of course, there is always a danger when reading a book before you see the movie that the movie will be a disappointment. And sometimes the opposite is also true. In this case, I have to say that for me, the latter was what happened in my case. You can read why in my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/11/11/tasty-but-not-scrumptious/

I Couldn't Put It Down
Let me just start by saying I received an advanced copy of this book thru #shespeaks. I thought it was going to be an average romantic plotted read. It was so much more for me. This book hit home with the realness and struggle a person goes thru after a life changing accident. In 1984 my other was crushed in a car accident, while she was pregnant with my little brother. Her best friend died. They told my mother she would never walk again. She struggled and fought and struggled some more. This book didn't sugar coat how difficult something like this can be. I appreciated this book much more than I can ever say. You can literally go from having everything...and nothing in literally one moment. Building yourself back up is the true victory after something like that happens.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Twined Bond (Holly Woods Files, #7) in Books
May 7, 2019
omg what can I say, you will definitely need the tissues at the ready with this book. This is the last book in the series and what an emotional read it is. I just couldn't put the book down till id got to the end, which was bitter sweet, in one way I need to get the read to see what happened and in the other I didn't want to end. A perfect ending to a perfect series. I cant wait for more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

The story
A revisit from my childhood
I haven't read this book since a child, and I can safely say that I think I may have even enjoyed it more the second time around.
An easy to read but enchanting story about another world, lovable characters, and a very compelling read.
I would definitely recommend this to any child, and to any adult who read it as a child and even those who didn't. Whether or not this is your normal style of book, I think that this is a book that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime 😊

I know I read William Goldings 'Lord of the Flies' in school.
Truth be told, I didn't remember all that much about it, other than that it went to some very dark places.
As does this BBC adaptation of the same story, following a group of schoolkids who get stranded on an island following a plane crash, and who - with lack of parental authority - find themselves descending into some very barbaric behaviour.
Whilst I can appreciate *what* the editors were trying to show through the strange colour palette and the incidental music, I have to say I found this series to drag somewhat (and wasn't a fan of the same).
