A mix of clichés from a couple different genres that still somehow manages to be highly engaging. It's unlikely it will ever be considered a classic, but it will certainly make for a great summer beach read. I can't say I had the ending figured out either, which is good for any mystery. Be forewarned that it is a bit of a downer.

Started off kind of with mixed feelings. I was somewhat drawn into the story, but found the author's use of "young-sounding" words to be a bit forced. After the first couple chapters however I was either so hooked I was able to ignore that, or he stopped doing it. Either way, wound up being a dark but enjoyable little book.

This was a very entertaining and fast read. It kept me entertained and I read it in just a couple days. I found that I could related to the characters. I did find myself a little annoyed by some of the actions that Yelena did but all in all it was a good book.

I will definitely continue on to the next book.

Brilliant film
I hadn’t watched this film before until a couple of years ago, it has since become one of my favourites. I can see why it made such a hit in later viewing for people it is now on one of my recommend lists and when people say they haven’t seen it I suggest it to them.

This is the second and last book of Attack on Titan No Regrets. The two books are about Levi and Erwin, and how Levi came to join the Survey Corps. Book 2 ends as Levi becomes the Levi that we know from the original series. The author also adds a couple of side stories, which are an extra bit of fun.

I began watching this show with zero expectations. It's not typically a show I would watch, but it did hook me within the first couple episodes. The one negative complaint I have is the completely boring character of Tara. I think Hunnam does a good job as Jax, and I love Ron Perlman in everything, so those were two high points.

Really enjoyed this game from the start. The story is immersive and whilst there were a couple of characters I didn't care for, I found myself really drawn into each individual persons story. I live that each decision effects the rest of the game and because of that this is a game I will go back to a good few times.

Strong female lead
I love films with a strong female character and this is deffinatly a good one!
It made me sing, made me laugh, made me cry and made me cheer! What more can you really want from a film?
You won't be wasting a couple of hours of your life watching this so go ahead and have some fun

A few days late, but 'thank you' to the mystery person who contacted @Cumberland to say they'd forgotten to include a note.
The Couple Next Door was already on my list of things to read - in fact I'd only looked at it the evening before it arrived! I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to it. ?
