Fun comedy with a great cast
I saw this movie today at the cinema, I had seen a trailer for it a few months ago and to be honest even though the trailer was funny I forgot about it. My partner noticed it was out now so we went. I wasn't disappointed, from the beginning of the film I found myself laughing. I thought the cast were really strong and they did bounce off each other well. I would really recommend.

I loved this show, watched it since day one, always trying to guess who A was, always getting it wrong ha! Loved the characters and their story lines the last few seasons got really good and more ‘darker’ and then we found out who A really was and I’m not sure I enjoyed the ending I feel like more could have been done, that or I’m just in denial that’s the end haha

Due to the multiple perspectives some of the storylines seem to take forever to really progress, which I found quite frustrating as I just wanted my favourite characters and more of them.
However you do need all of the perspectives to blend together to make the books and for them to work the way they should.
I did still enjoy the book and would recommend it, as I understand that with so many characters stories to tell it is going to take time.

I found the premise of this novel - a collection of novellas tenuously linked together quite a tedious read. however, it is so well written that I was compelled to read it to the end, yet I still struggled to see what linked them all together. Each story is composed in a different genre or style, from the 17th century to the post apocalyptic future, which shows Mitchell's ability to write multi genre. That is about all this novel had going for it though.

Decent remake
Didn't have high hopes for this when I originally saw at the theatre, but I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't just rewatched, it holds up as a decent horror thriller with some great make up gore, work with wax (obviously) and some gruesome horror kill scenes.
It's your typical young adults stranded in backwater USA when the ghouls come out to play, but I found it entertaining if you don't think about it too much.

I loved this movie, though I found it confusing at times. When the world started buckling and changing, I had to rewind the movie and make sure I wasn't seeing things (I probably shouldn't have watched this movie when I was sick!). I loved the strength of character and there were a few statements or paradoxes that I still like to ponder to this day. I hope to see a second one sometime with many of the same cast members!

I received this book as an advanced copy.
I was initially intrigued because the description listed it as Jane Austen meets X-Men and I'd have to say that's pretty accurate. I randomly find myself thinking about it because I feel like I don't often read too many historical fantasy novels in the YA genre. Themes are similar to those found in many other YA texts but not in a tired, over done way. Looking forward to reading the next one.

Inspirational. Emotional. This is a powerful 4 star read!
Truly inspirational book which tells of the power of love between a mother and her children.
Reading this you soon realise that Cara Brookins accomplished something so incredible following years of abuse. I found myself laughing, crying and at times biting my nails in horror at each inspiration chapter of this amazing family rise from their ruined old lives.
Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the advanced copy of this book.

A very steamy book indeed and a good story overall. The reason i gave this book 3 stars is because i found it very hard to get into and hard to understand at times. There seemed to be a lot going on all at once and the story kept jumping back and forward through time, also the constant having to look at the back of the book for the glossary was very distracting, other than that it was a very enjoyable read.

I absolutely love reading, whether physical copies or on my kindle. When I found this app I didn’t think I would use it much but I was so wrong. I rarely forget to bring my book or kindle with me wherever I go however on the occasion that I do, I know I have got my phone which means I can still get my reading fix!
