A pleasant surprise
Comic book heroes are far from being my thing but I found this film very entertaining. I liked it when Thor landed on the earth and the comedy that came with this, smashing the coffee cup on the floor and the language he uses. To me it stuck the right balance of comedy, romance, cgi and drama.
  
I have previously read one of Christobel’s novels - The Crooked House - which although I enjoyed I found it a confusing read and I felt the same way about The Loving Husband although there was less enjoyment with this one.

How to Be a Pirate (How to Train Your Dragon, #2)
This maniacally crazy story is liberally spattered with appropriately riotous illustrations and maps. Found this book to be very funny indeed. The story is filled with witty writing and funny drawings and notes ensure that this clever Viking story keeps the reader laughing. It will appeal to boys and girls.

Great cast (2 more)
Beautiful location
Lots of twists
A cool icy thriller
A weird but compelling thriller set in a small town near the Artic circle. After a body is found could the town have its first ever murder? A strong cast line up, against a beautiful scenic backdrop and an often bizarre story that will have you on the edge of your seat.

This is the debut novel for Mark Hill and, I think, a successful one and I want to thank the publisher, Little, Brown Book Group UK, and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review which can be found on my blog ... <a href="https://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/the-two-oclock-boy-by-mark-hill_4.html">Reading Stuff 'n' Things</a>.

Another great book by Stevens! Her novels are always quick reads. They are very easy to get hooked in to & the stories are always so true to life. I found myself rooting for Toni through the whole story. She was a likable character despite the guilt & accusations swirling around her & Ryan. I look forward to reading more of her work.

When all else fails give two stars
I have enjoyed her books in the past, but did not seem to enjoy this one. Found it hard to get into and when I finally did get into it, it did not keep me. It was like pulling teeth to get through this book, but I did in the end.

Not the best in the Marvel series
I found this film a little too repetitive, to the point I can't tell the difference between Avengers Assemble and Ultron, Captain America First Avenger, and Civil War. The story surrounding Bucky is rather boring, and Captain America is a little too over the top with his relationship with him. It's just one big Marvel blur.
  
2/5 stars

I found this book intriguing, but i couldn't finish it. it was one of the few books i have not finished. i guess it wasn't my age level because it just didn't hold me. i enjoyed it when i sat down to read it, but i had to force myself to sit down and read it.

a good 30+ hours spent listening to all these many and varied short stories. My first introduction the Dunc and Egg (G.R.R.Martin) I picked this up for the Robin Hobb story which, as always, didn't disappoint. I have however now found many other excellent authors to feast my eyes and ears on. Enjoy reading or listening, it is definitely worth the time.
