Book Rating

A solid second novel

While not the pop culture thrill ride that was Ready Player One, this book still held my interest. It will appeal to gamers and Sci-Fi fans with its premise of a video game being used to train the general populace as soldiers. You need to be able to speak fluent “geek” (Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc.) to catch all the references.

A decent slow burner

For a fairly short film, 1hr 40mins, it's incredibly slow paced. It feels like a much longer film and could easily have a good 20mins cut from it. Apart from that it's a pretty decent thriller. The trailers are a little misleading, there is little Horror here. The story is good with an ending few will see coming.

I loved the books and I couldn't wait to see the movie. I wasn't disappointed when I did. It was great to be immersed in their word again this time on the big screen.

Inspiring. Very uplifting. I feel like buying a couple of people in my life this book. I feel a little better about life and faith in general just from reading this book. I don't typically read religious books or things of that nature because I know very little about the topics contained therein. However, I am super glad I read this. I would recommend it to every person I know.

Keira Knightley with her wooden acting failed to bring the Duchess to life for me. The Duchess appeared to be witty and flamboyant, with intense emotions however Knightley plays her somewhat dispassionately. This then failed to evoke any feelings for the Duchess. Her life seemed pretty awful in general and one should have felt sympathy and pity for her but because she's so blandly portrayed it just didn't rouse my emotions.
