Enjoyable
I loved the humour in this film, I found it hilarious. The acting was great and you didn't really know what was happening!my only downfall to this film was that I had seen another film with a similar concept which was really out of this world and I found myself comparing the 2 quite often.
Definitely worth a watch, for a laugh and a bit of suspense!

Didn't agree with the hype
I found this book slow moving, particularly the first 40%. Julianne as a character was interesting and engaging. Gabriel, however, I found hard to figure out and his character inconsistent. Some of his dialogue was difficult to believe. The premise for the story was good, although more could have been made of the forbidden aspect. I am unsure whether I will read the next ones.

Bad acting
Difficult to follow
I only watched the first two episodes and gave up. I found the plot difficult to follow and wasn’t 100% sure what was going on. I felt that the acting was poor and the only decent parts were the fight scenes which were played out really well. Otherwise I found it a very confusing plot and honestly quite boring.

I implore you to stick with it. It really comes together in the last few episodes!

I completely agree, the story did seem a little jumbled but the second to last episode (think it was that one) filled in a lot of blank spaces, made a lot more sense.

Don't give up just yet.

Book Favorite

"I remember reading this memoir some twenty years ago and thinking I had found a long lost childhood friend. With the language of a poet—both incandescent and glaringly fluorescent—Karr recounts sexual abuse, the charm and unreliability of her alcoholic father, and the emotional chaos of her brilliant, beautiful, and mentally ill mother. What emerges in memory is a meditation on truth found in love and self-knowledge."

I actually enjoyed it a lot more than the first book, just because I found it a lot easier to follow. It still has the deeper philosophical elements though.

Not a fan
None of the characters were likeable, and I felt myself spending the whole story picking out plotholes. I found this a really frustrating book to read.
  
Great read (listen)! Heck, I'm sure I'll do it again! I found it absolutely fascinating, but then I find stuff about how about brains work (or don't work) intriguing.

Much better than the first in the series Hot Ink. I liked the characters a lot more and found them to be written better. The storyline was quite sweet

I honestly did not want this book to ever end. I found it hilarious and could relate to a lot of it!

This was more of a novelty item for me, at first I liked playing with the Wii fit but quickly lost interest.I found the controls annoying for normal games.
