All style and no substance
Another film that is struck down by the video game to big screen curse. Despite the budget, great cast and good special effects I just found the story uninteresting. I've not played the games, so can't comment how true to them it is. Shame as it had great potential. A nice looking film but without any depth to it.

An Instant Classic
Who knew that game play like this could be so addicting? I've played this season through twice on PC and once on Xbox One and I'm still not tired of the story. Each time you can change what happens and develop the characters differently. It's absolutely engrossing, to the point where you actually forget you're playing a game. Telltale are amazing at making games, I haven't found one I've disliked yet!

An Interesting Approach to Sci-Fi
I'll be honest, I've heard some pretty crappy reviews about this movie so I went into it expecting it to be pretty awful. However, it wasn't. I found this to be an interesting movie about self-discovery and the bond between father and son. The visuals and CGI work were astounding. While it wasn't as fantastic as some science fiction movies I've seen, it was undoubtedly a good one.
This book is what I call a good old-fashioned crime caper with loads of action, thrills and violence which is fast paced and well written and I thank the publisher, Random House UK Cornerstone, for providing me with a copy via NetGalley in return for an honest review which can be found on my blog - http://readingstuffnthings.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/the-slaughter-man-by-tony-parsons.html - feel free to stop by, thank you.

Not bad but lacking
This isn't a bad film, but I found it a little bit lacking. It seemed too slow paced and cheesy at times, which is strange as having read the book since, I didn't get the same feeling. There are some good performances from the cast, Fassbender is as dependable as always but this just comes across as barely above average. Another film that can never live up to the book.

I devoured this book!
I found the idea of "mermaids" a bit hokey, but decided to give this a try. I'm so glad I did! It's so refreshingly well written and I was hooked after the first page. I love horror stories and have always been fascinated by the Mariana Trench and the Challenger Deep. I can't wait to read more by this author! Oh, and the audiobook is superb. I absolutely loved the narration.

An awesome place to find everything you ever might need
I have found so many useful, creative, awesome ideas on Pinterest. I have used it to help plan my daughter's graduation party to finding new recipes for the Instant Pot. I can spend way too much time just searching through all the great ideas.

The set-up had me hooked for most of the short story, and then it got a <s>little</s> lot silly, and then it ended. So now I don't know what to think. I mean, I liked it, but overall it left me disappointed in where it went.

Let me start off by saying I am a huge fan of the author. Her time travel romance was wonderful. I went into this book knowing the romance would be top notch swoony and I was not wrong. The dual POV makes the story so much more alive.
I found myself laughing and even shedding a tear or two while reading.
This is the perfect story for anyone who loves gushy romance that has depth
