Good job on villians
Leave it to Marvel Studios and Sony to make the Vulture an actual cool and intimidating villian.
I'm really glad that the 'rehashing the origin story' was not done and, at least by now, people should already know how Spider-Man came to be. I was concerned the coming of age premise would be annoying, but they did a great job and had me immersed into the story quickly.

There were several laugh out loud moments for me, so expect a movie that you can have fun with.

Not bad
So it's not a bad movie. But it's not one that requires too much thinking, you are not coming out of the cinema thinking:wow the movie was great, brilliant! It was average and I've seen all other oceans and I love them. George Clooney is just so natural while in this one it feels a bit...forced. Câte Blanchet looks amazing though and I love her character but really overall I'd say it just wasn't a bad movie.

This is a well written and sweet coming out book. The uncertainty of knowing who you are in an world that you know is not kind and accepting is captured by Archer. Eve lays low figuring just get to college and life can begin for her. The she is talked into trying a new GLBT dating app. The worst that can happen in social media does but then the best. It definately was a cute book and I really wish there were more books like this when I was a teenager.

As a major fan of dystopian fiction and lesbian fiction Darkness Falls is the best of both worlds! Each character is unique and developed there is no unnecessary fluff it all flows. The event that causes the world to collapse is plausible, which is important to me in my dystopian fiction. The reactions of the characters is also realistic. From the resourceful ones to those in denial. I highly recommend this book and believe you should have K.C. Luck on your list of up and coming authors to watch out for!

Do you hate your mother-in-law? You'll LOVE her after this.
Though this book didn't really feel like a "psychological thriller," but rather more of a drama, I definitely enjoyed it. There were several points at which I actually said out loud "oh, come on!" - so I'm going to agree with another reviewer in that it might be better if you suspend disbelief a bit before going into this.

I did NOT see that twist coming! It was worth it for that alone, in my opinion.

Thank you, Minotaur Books, for the ARE!
