Gripping and disturbing all at the same time and a book that is very thought provoking providing a lot of talking points. Definitely one to read if you enjoy dark and gritty story lines with excellent characters. Thank you to Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Eye for an Eye.

Take A Chance On This One
This was a gritty and raw read addressing issues that many young people face today. The author did a great job with the storyline and the characters were utterly fantastic. I found myself caught up in the emotions that were literally dripping off the pages and I'm glad I took a chance on this one.

Cool locations (2 more)
Very good cast
A bit darker and more gritty than the first two films
3rd times a charm
A great story and with a very talented cast make this very interesting. Throw in some good action scenes, stunning locations, cool gadgets and it has almost a Bond feel to it. My favourite in the series along with @mission impossible: Rogue Nation.
  
This is a second chance romance story. This book has left me with mixed feelings, I loved the story but the female character is really annoying. This was a hard book to read and I had to keep putting it down. This is a gritty love story, not all hearts and flowers.



I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

An interesting addition to the series which runs concurrent with the last film time wise. The plot is starting to get stretched a bit thin now though, I liked the original films gritty realistic feel. Overall I think it was a bit hyped up and the ending was a bit sudden, not what I was hoping for but still a good action film.

Very gritty and realistic look at the last days of World War II
Fury is a powerful and raw World War II story about a tank unit fighting to survive while pushing through Germany doing the tall end of the war

All the main characters do a great job strong action character moments and just powerful imagery throughout

Movie Favorite

"Although this movie portrays the very real and gritty life on a river barge, there is something so poetic in it. You’ll never forget the contrast between Père Jules (Michel Simon)—who can puff smoke from a cigarette out of the face tattooed around his belly button—and the romantic belief of Juliette (Dita Parlo) that you can see the image of your true love in water."
