Good read, rather different than the tv series.

I really enjoyed this book, I read it before the Netflix series rolled out and I'm glad of it. I found the similarities good but the differences between the two were annoying, I understand why the show didn't follow completely - because of an episode time line, but I found it unrealistic.

I received a copy of Tiger Queen from Blink through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Admittedly, the first part I had some trouble getting through because I found the main character, Kateri, to be really unsympathetic.

As the book went on I found myself actively cheering her on.

The world building was fantastic in this one and I would definitely recommend!

Stories found on Reddit, sent to the host, or found on the internet are read by the host, whose creepy voice is perfect for the topics. Some of the stories are boring but others will send shivers down your spine and make you look under your bed and behind your shower curtain for long after you hear them.

"This is a book that found me. I read it the summer after college, right before moving to NYC and starting out on my own personal legend. The Alchemist has found me every time I’m about to embark on a new path, or during a major transition. I’ve read it each time, and every time there are even more treasures to discover."

Overrated
I can see I'm in the minority here, but I really thought this film was overrated.

I love Edgar Wright, but I found myself so bored watching this. Yes it has a killer soundtrack and was very stylish, but I found it to be more style over substance. The main plot was boring and I found a lot of the characters to be a little irritating - Jamie Foxx's character especially. The only highlight was the fabulous Kevin Spacey and the few laughs it managed to raise in far too long a run time.

Haha I couldn't agree more! I stopped concentrating after the first 15 minutes.

Glad I'm not the only one! I probably should give it another watch as my outlook is usually better second time around.

LOVED IT!!!!!
Found this on Netflix and gave it a try. I was hooked after the first episode and binge watched all the way through. I love the thoughts from Joe's head giving reasonings for killing and kidnapping.... the way it comes across I often found myself thinking "I can see his point" and found myself rooting for the bad guy.....not sure what this says about me🤣🤔. Definitely worth a watch and I will be re-watching.

Great for The Nightmare Before Christmas fan. Nicely Illustrated but found the captions a little on the small side but others may not find this.

A interesting insight into human behaviour, I found it fascinating and at times scary how far people are prepared to go to control another person

Little bit hard going for me. I've played the games and found the book to be slightly long-winded. It wasn't a bad book though
