"Jackson’s book is a great study in how to build character, the strength and importance of friendship, and excellent writing. It’s tense like a horror story and yet very real and utterly compelling."

Slick cinematography
Cool Dodge Challenger car

A very slick, cool film with some amazing visuals. Long unedited scenes, great car chase and a compelling story. Check it out!

This is a reasonably compelling novel with an interesting premise and intriguing characters. Yet, I found the writing style somewhat pretentious and the outcome of the plot somewhat disturbing. Not an enjoyable read on the whole.

"No one could make much of a case for Welles’ abortive movie overall, but the heartbreaking glimpses of the great man’s genius preserved here are the most compelling argument for the value of Criterion’s dedication to cinema."

Holy crap. I normally avoid book series until each one is available, but this is Colleen Hoover! I couldn't wait and now I'm dying to read part two. The story is absolutely compelling, I couldn't stop reading!
