Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Come Find Me in Books

Megan Miranda is an author where I'll read whatever she writes. The topic of this book is slightly bizarre, but it's a completely compelling and fascinating read. I read it in less than 24 hours, as it's very easy-to-read, and I totally fell for the characters. Kennedy and Nolan are united in grief--two kids who have been through so much for being so young.
This novel is creepy and often inexplicable, but the plot is really great. I was completely hooked. Kennedy and Nolan are tied together in interesting ways, and there's also a mystery-type story that unfolds as well. There are a couple of great twists that fully surprised me.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. It's compelling and heartfelt, with strong characters and a sort of fun yet creepy undertone. 4 stars.

All star Hollywood A list cast (1 more)
Nicole Kidman stands out
Everyone has their secrets
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but the cast alone caught my eye. It slowly turns out to be a very compelling watch. A bit predictable about half way through but an intriguing story nevertheless and only 7 episodes long.

Could you imagine being the cause of a civil war? That is exactly what Phillip is facing. How will he protect his family and himself?
[Trent Reedy] did a good job creating a very possible situation and showing the consequences in [Divided We Fall]. Although the novel is fiction with a dystopian feel it is something that could actually happen, which makes it more compelling.

This follow-up book sees David again solving mysteries with his own (internal) Scooby-gang. It felt like something of a re-telling of the first book and wasn't as compelling here. David's character and madness develop quite a bit here and it is set up for more in the future, which I would relish. Just a little disappointed that it wasn't made more of.

This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is a very compelling and gripping story. This is a dark, twisted, romantic, suspenseful read, which will keep you hooked till the last page. The characters have amazing chemistry between them. I can't wait to read from this intriguing author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) in Movies

Didn't think this movie would amount to much and was pleasantly surprised by the story which was cleverly marketed as based on true events.
All here are amazing with stand outs from Harrelson and McDormand who are both very believable and their characters fleshed out.
A little uneven in places, but the story telling is still quite compelling.

A little disjointed in places, however this is one of Cronenbergs better pieces of work.
Viggo Mortenson is great as the man with a past trying to play it straight and live a normal life.
Its compelling viewing as his family buckles under pressure applied to them from Tom's former associates as they try to force him to relive his past life. Solid viewing.

Mystery author biographer Cece Caruso gets accused of murder when she tries to return a cell phone. With the police hot on her tail, can she clear herself of the accusation? Anyone will enjoy this creative and compelling mystery, although Hitchcock fans will really enjoy it.

It’s scary, but should also appeal to non-horror fans
The ending. The director’s original plan for the ending would have made this show practically perfect. (2 more)
Could be triggering for some.
After episode 8, it gets a bit messy and goes off the rails a bit. I had to google after watching the finale because I had questions.
It’s magnificent for the first 8 episodes
