Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated The Perks of Being a Wallflower in Books

This book is one you can read time and time, again. Simultaneously beautiful and tragic. It details growing up, suicide, puberty, depression, anxiety, relationships, sex, drugs, and secrets. Told by way of secret letters in a diary style, each one showing more and more clearly the daily life of Charlie, a strange outcast who wants to belong but also just wants to observe. I highly recommend putting yourself through this wonderfully written adventure. Get ready to be heart broken by almost every page and uplifted by the moments of elation as though they were your own.

A year in the life of a young woman who moves to New York and gets a job in a high end restaurant. Tess is 22 and lives life to its fullest - that’s if you count drinking hard, taking drugs and hardly sleeping as living hard. She learns a lot about food and wine, but not so much about personal relationships.
This was heralded as the book of Summer 2016, but I’m afraid I found it boring. Nothing much happens, she’s so self-centred as to be a rather unpleasant character. Reading this feels like time I can’t get back, I’m afraid!

4.5/5* This book was such a pleasant surprise - randomly picking it up at the library (and reading 30 pages while standing there) I decided to take it home - I finished it within a day I was so addicted. The ragtag group of teens battling bullying and drugs - trying to find themselves through the summer. I think the hometown hero aspect was so fun, each person doing something great and trying to make a difference, learning not all choices are going to be cut and dry, and even the romance was great. Such an awesome book.

A messed up kind of love story but a love story none the less.
True Romance is one of those movies that was really sad that I didn't know about it sooner especially since I grew up on Tarantino movies. From start to finish it really is just a damn good movie with a surprisingly good love story mixed in with all the blood and drugs. There's a hell of a lot of action a really good story amazing characters and just the over-the-top violence that you come to expect from these type of movies.

Interesting twist on the origins (1 more)
Good stoty
Deviated quite a bit from the comic origins (1 more)
Not up to the high standard we’ve come to enjoy from Marvel shows
Hit&miss
Contains spoilers, click to show
Okay so they avoided the fact that Cloak & Dagger got powers from bad drugs... shame as it would’ve finally left the door open for Sentry.
The story itself wasn’t that bad. Quite a few good twists, a couple of bad guys you’ll love to hate (not quite to Joffery’s level).
Just didn’t have the same kick as Netflix gives its Marvel series... that said, I did enjoy it...

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Informers (2009) in Movies

A strange film, that seems totally random at times. It has a bit of an insight to the lives of a range of people in early 80's LA. From the spoilt rich kids, drugged up pop star, shady ex-con and a news reporter. The stories are very loosely interwoven. This is far from being anything like Crash though! There doesn't seem to be much of a plot to it at all or any conclusion. Just a brief look at their lives full of sex, drugs and 80's pop. A shame given the very strong cast list!

I found this book really hard to read, probably because I was so disgusted by what the main character felt was important to do before she died. Amongst these insipid tasks were things like trying drugs and having sex, which probably weren't the best ideas considering her condition. I know most teens would probably say they wouldn't want to die a virgin, but even if you're dying having sex with a guy you just met is wrong. Usually I try to finish what I started just for the heck of it, but this book was just too painful to finish.
