jmercado (1 KP) rated Beautifully Damaged (Beautifully Damaged, #1) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
DNF'd at chapter 15.
Oh my god this book. It really had good premise and did like that the female lead was srong enough to stand up fr herself at points but the fact that she easily backed out of that strength and easily forgave bugged me. I also didnt feel a connection between the couple.
All in all a major disappoinment for me.

I have so much love for this book. As always we get an unorthodox, singular story with a lot of cleverness and humor from Penny Reid. She is becoming one of my favorites fast and, God, can we have Billy's story soon?

Good moments. But missing greatness.
This movie has a good iconic score. It’s in your face but it’s still good. Some of the acting is bad. Mel’s father is god awful. The scenery is great. Some lines are solid. There were smiles from the dialog. But also I was bored in parts. I loved seeing all these famous faces though.

Mar 18, 2019
This is a story how a Warrior that has been cursed for 2000 years to have his emotions chained by a God find redemption and strength to feel again through the heart meld of a unlikely source Tiernan a feisty truth seeker reporter. As their story unfold you see that truth and lobe comes out in the most unlikely way. Beautifully titled fits the story well.

I took a very long time to finish this book. I really wanted to read it thoroughly and understand everything!
I can honestly say...I am in no danger of Becoming Jewish anytime soon! Judaism has a lot of wonderful qualities, but I still cannot reconcile the 1 god thing...
A wonderful resource for anyone wanting to convert or just learn more about Judaism!
3 stars

Epic storyline (2 more)

I loved God of War 4 so much. It has an epic story and brilliant characters. The graphics of the game are just beautiful. It also has other collectibles and quests for you to play as well as the main story. I loved playing this and getting all the trophies/achievements for it. Would say it is the best game of the year.

This is an easy read. Very fun and inventive while staying true to the stories I remember reading.For how little some of the characters have page time, I thought Neil Gaiman did a wonderful job giving each god and goddess a believable personality. I also liked that the goddesses had a brain and were not passive characters just there to help the story along.

I firmly believe that this is one of the best movies on the face of the planet. Anyone who knows me and knows my reviews knows how much it bothers me when film adaptations are so bad or so off or they just lose everything the book had. The exact opposite happens here. I think what makes this movie so good and so well put together is that it's still Stephen's story. He wrote the book, then the screenplay, then he directed it so it was his entire vision coming to life on screen and it worked. I think if anyone else would've directed or wrote the script, it wouldn't have translated so well.
Additionally, this cast is phenomenal. Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Nina Dobrev, Mae Whitman, Kate Walsh, Paul Rudd, it just works. There are some parts from the book that didn't make it to the screen and that definitely bummed me out - I wish we could've seen Bill and Charlie's relationship more because it was really important in the book and it provided a lot for Charlie in terms of safety and comfort. I also wish some of the lines were verbatim. When Sam gets mad at Charlie after truth or dare, in the book she says, "what the fuck is wrong with you?" while in the movie she says, "what the hell is wrong with you?" I know that it's not a huge difference but I think that would've landed so much better. Also when Charlie defends Patrick. In the book, he says, "If you ever do this again, I'll tell everyone and I'll tell everyone for real. If you come after him again, I'll blind you." or something along those lines and I think that would've been great, especially with how low and solid Logan gave the line in the film. Just small things like that, I wish would've made it to screen.
Regardless, this film and this story are incredible and worth watching at least once for everyone. The same goes for the book. A must-read.
