I love this trilogy, but I don’t know what to think about this one, it was too slow in the beginning then too rushed at the end and there where a lot of questions unanswered. I just felt empty when I finished it.

Wow, even though I was told what to expect, I wasn't expecting anything as visceral and as raw as this book. The beginning though tough lulled me into a sense of security, I thought I knew where it was going to go - I didn't! There was a point in the middle where this became a bit of an issue, as I felt it moved around too much, but there was a reason to it. I'm not immediately going to move on to book two, not because I don't want to, but i feel I might have a nervous breakdown of I did!

I don't know if there were deliberate tributes to Jasper Fforde in this, but it seemed too much of a pale imitation of the matster of the slightly absurd slightly alternate universe. This, for me, wasn't that funny and was rather too crude. I won't be reading the rest.

The problem with quick reads for me is they are just not enough! I wanted more depth and i wanted to know if there was an even happier ending! I don't think quick reads are for me, there's too much left to be explored but I liked it for what it was. It was cute short and snappy read, which made me giggle.

I found myself many times during the movie wondering if there was ever going to be anything superhero-like in this superhero movie. I understand this is an origin story, but at some point, it needs to move along. It just dragged on too long. Could have been an hour long. There was also too much with the fighting that wasn't Panther. The girls were kicking more ass than Black Panther himself. It was ridiculous. Negatives aside, the acting was really good by everyone, with a great performance by Andy Serkis, of course. The Korea chase scene was fantastic. It's too bad there weren't more scenes like it. The battle scene at the end was very predictable. Bottom line is I did like it. I thought the story was well enough, but should have moved along at a better pace.

I don't have an interest in every single topic of conversation. Sometimes the interviewer is terrible. There was an episode in particular where the interviewer seemed to be trying too hard.
