The GREATEST show
This was a movie that seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere, but swept the whole world - myself included. I love the beating, human heart at the core of everything this movie is, along with the fantastic, passionate cast and wonderful musical numbers.

I work in a movie theatre, and this movie was still selling out in June, having come out at the end of December the previous year. THAT many people can't be wrong - I certainly don't think they are.

Heartbreakingly fantastic (0 more)
Not for the faint hearted but it is incredible how much suspense can be wrapped up in these few pages. It’s drawn to really captivate you and make you care about every person in one way or another. The battles they ensue and the cleverness in the plot makes this such an amazing read that I hope it is a long standing series as it deserves it!
I wouldn’t start this series until a lot more are realised as I’m addicted and they are not released quick enough!

This book was fantastic. I loved the plot. I loved the new characters. And I loved the new relationships formed with previous characters.
Delilah and Kell, I want to end up together. I didn't even acknowledge that I wanted this until the very end when I saw how much they cared about each other.
I loved the development of Rhy as a character as well.
Surprisingly enough, this book was superior to the first.
Towards the end, I could not put this book down for the life of me.

fantastic short read
This is the first book in this set but the sixth book in this series. This is a mafia story. This is a quick, hot and steamy, easy to read book which you will read in one sitting. This book has a cliffhanger ending so be warned, you will need part two as soon as you've finished this book. Amazing well written characters. I can't wait to read part two in this set.



Highly recommended short read

A great read for any football fan
I see Jimmy Case as a bit of an unsung hero and this book lifts the lid on what was a glittering career. From non league to Liverpool, from Brighton to Southampton and then Bournemouth, its all here. With funny anecdotes and recollections this is a fantastic read from start to finish. Having the reputation as a hard man was only the tip of the iceberg. Jimmy Case was undoubtedly one of the best midfielders of his day.

fantastic second book in this series
This is the second book in this amazing trilogy. The story continues in this book from the first one. Same amazing characters with such intense chemistry between them. This book is filled with action, sex, angst and twists and turns. The story unfolds more in this book, sucking you in and keeping you reading long into the night. I can't wait to read the final part in this trilogy.



Highly recommended series

okay so let me start by saying i love a good scare and this mostly fit the bill as such there was good story telling and developing as well the plot moved right along my only complaint is the fact the villan stole kids souls thats scary and sadly all too relavent to people today and the movie is about 30 minutes longer then needed to be but aside from that it was fantastic

A bit of a slow starter (0 more)
Loved it
Once I got past the first few chapters I really got into it. I found it to be a bit of a slow starter due to the constant negative references to Buffy, which I get that there had to be a bit of tension there, but was maybe a bit repetitive. Other than that it was a fantastic read so I pre-ordered the 2nd one which I aim to start soon.

I was not a big fan of the original as a child much preferring other Disney classics but I did enjoy this. I disagree with others, I think Dumbo is a film that was In need of an update. I though visually it was fantastic and the elephants were amazing. Dumbo was very cute. I liked the characters but found the plot a little dull at times and drawn out. This is much much longer than the original. My children found it hard to sit through it all.

One of the most easy to watch and all out entertaining of Marvel movies. Plenty of action and humour it’s also very accessible as a solo adventure and you don’t need to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Avengers back stories in order to enjoy it. I think Paul Rudd was also a fantastic bit of casting and he’s as well suited to the role as Robert Downey JR was to Tony Stark/Iron Man. Scott Lang is likeable, funny and charismatic company and fast becoming one of my favourite Avengers.
