I went into this movie, just hoping it'd make me laugh... I laughed once. Maybe I'm just not a Kate McKinnon fan, but her character was annoying, and there was little to no depth there. I was also not buying into the fact that McKinnon and Kunis' characters were 30 years old, at first I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. Overall, it was a bloated mess that went on for way too long. At least Sam Heughan was there for eye candy.

Pretty good.
I've always been interested in these kind of documentarys and the chilling fact that they are true. I enjoyed this one also and the way they told the story was great, but I found there was something lacking and I drifted away a few times. There was too much hype leading up to it and it disappointed because of that.

I really enjoyed this but was not too keen on the ending in all honesty. Felt like a full stop where there should have been another chapter!

I have NO IDEA as to why I thought this YA book may be different from all of the other recent ones I've read, and subsequently sworn off.
There was way too much about race in this, it was so distracting. The main character, vanilla-boring January's physical appearance was mentioned at least every few pages. It's just bizarre to me, this book needed an edit.
The description promises a fantasy, well, there was a lot of fantasy that was talked about, but none that I saw. Show me, don't tell me.
Then, there was the introduction of a story within a story. I stopped reading, then thought to myself, wow, this is pretty crappy, but I'll keep on. After ten minutes, I officially returned the digital copy to the library.
This book was not magical, it was boring, and there was too much exposition. I am NEVER reading another YA book, unless it's a Star Wars one. I've learned my lesson, yet again.
