Fanstatic, a different take on superhero's
I don't have time read with my job, but I found this on audiobook, and had to buy it,

As soon as I place my head phones on my ears I couldn't take them out,


Great story, great characters




Well worth buying it
  
I must say that the title and the synopsis had me intrigued but I practically pulled out my hair as I found this to be a dull read and forced myself to finish reading it. Reading true crime has always captivated me but unfortunately this one just fell short.

OK is a good word to describe this novel. I found it weird that it was deemed a YA novel, but was from the viewpoint of the parents. The mystery wasn't all that mysterious, and it was predictable. The premise sounded amazing, but it was ultimately lack-luster.

Not for me i'm afraid, couldn't get into it at all. I found the way it was written very confusing and all over the place; I couldn't connect with the characters or the story. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

Hard getting into Manon's story
This series just got so much better
So many new characters in this book! Found it hard to get into Manon's story, but got to love her by the end of the book.

Better than the first one now that they've clearly found their voice. RyanReynolds was fantastic as was Domino. Apparently Josh Brolin can't stop himself from playing awesome comic book characters. The gags are hilarious and the final montage is especially tasty. Plus, it actually managed to have some heart.

I thought this was a really cool concept and I love the TV Show but I found it really annoying because choosing the wrong decision meant it would play the scene over again until you picked the right one and I didn't realise it would be like that.

Loved this, I really liked all the campaigning they did beforehand via social media. This really added to the mystery and luckily it didnt disappoint. I enjoyed the character development and found myself quite gripped.

Overall a grear film and would highly recommend.

Beautiful Immersive Story
Found this book particularly easy to dive into, I think due to the use of present tense. It made the story more immersive as you felt add though you were experiencing it alongside the characters. Some beautiful description and an interesting, unusual story.
