This was a quick and entertaining read. The characters felt a little flat to me but I think it is because it is for a younger reader. This would be a good book for kids. I found myself enjoying the story line. The plot is interesting. I might continue on in the series if I am looking for another quick read.

Found another gem on Netflix(original). It's titled "How It Ends". Stars Forest Whitaker and Theo James(among others). Very good acting, con m film work and storyline. An end-of-the-world style movie about a father and future son in law crossing the country to find his daughter after power goes out and things start going crazy. Really worth a watch!

I found that most of the songs on this album were really good, there were only two or three that I did not like. I love listening to Ed Sheeran and other artist like him and would encourage anyone who hasn't listen to this album yet to listen to it. The mood change from song to song is very interesting.

Amazing end to this incredible story!? I LOVE Tony & Clair... even from book one I found myself just wishing they could find a way and in Convicted, we finally get a happy ending after so much drama and pain. This series ripped my heart out... the connection throughout everything between these two is beautiful. An unbelievable story of true soul mates... HIGHLY recommended!!

Literally everything
This movie was 1000x better than I was hoping it would be. I am a huge Queen fan and wish I was around then. I cried the whole last half of the movie it was brilliant and I don't think they could have found anyone better than Rami to play Freddie! He did a absolutely wonderful job.
  
An overall good read...took a bit of time to get used to the writing style so couldn't get into the book during the first story but after that I got more involved in the stories. I found it to be a little too 'fluffy' for me, however, I thought the stories were a good idea. So a good light read.
  
This book was very interesting. You don't have to buy into the whole Jungian interpretations to enjoy it. Some of it resonated with me, and some of it didn't, but, as a literature major, I found it fascinating, and I loved the myths/stories alone. I gave it four stars because it was too repetitive at times for my liking.

Predictable (0 more)
This was a chilling read. Kept the suspense all the way through. Throughout the novel, however, it became predictable as to what would happen. A lot of horror troupes found themselves repeated. There is a lot more to this book than what is presented on the surface. If you're a fan of gothic horror, give this one a shot.

Really enjoyed this game from the start. The story is immersive and whilst there were a couple of characters I didn't care for, I found myself really drawn into each individual persons story. I live that each decision effects the rest of the game and because of that this is a game I will go back to a good few times.

I haven't read the book so cannot compare but when I saw that it was an adaptation from a Jo Nesbo book I was hopeful it was going to be good. The start of the film piqued my interest but it was downhill from thereon. I found it confusing and guessed who the killer would turn out to be. Disappointing.
