Really disliked it.
As a person who has friends that struggle with suicide, this was very hard to watch. Especially the scene when she actually commits suicide. Sure, it raises awareness of how your actions affect others. But I think it the suicide scene was unnecessary and does the opposite of raising awareness of teen suicide. If anything, it glorifies it, showing young and impressionable viewers how it can be done. Not to mention it was predictable and just over the top.

The illustrations are bright and colorful. The pictures represent the words in the book. The author did a really good job with it. It is good for young readers.
 
Young children can see the pictures while the parent, older brother or sister read the book. I like the fact that it easy poem and meaningful. The story has a moral and explains that God or our Lord created it. It has faith in it and explains it in the best way.

While I enjoyed this comic, it was not as good as the others I have read recently. This one focuses more on the fact that these villains are cruel with not much reasoning behind their actions. They torment the staff because it is fun and they get off on it.

The story itself was weak to me, but it was still entertaining for what it was.

Like I said, it was not my favorite, so I don't have much to say about it.

Very good film, I have watched it a couple of times. I think it is supposed to be slightly in the future but it could actually be present day because it is based about living your life on social media and posting everything and I mean everything and the company that runs the software like Facebook. It is alarming real life as it shows how quick someone can be found via social media and it is a scary thought. Certainly thought provoking.

I Loved this book!!! It was such a great story and a different perspective on Sirens. I liked this take on Sirens - it was refreshingly new and different from most Siren or Mermaid stories I’ve read.

It was an emotional story but it was a good happy ending and it was like a breath of fresh air. It was the perfect story that I needed to read 😁.

I would definitely recommend others to read this! Go check it out now!

Very very good, yes it is probably for kids but as an adult I loved it. It is a mixture of Goosebumps and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It has the right amount of spookiness for children and some funny moments too. Will watch again and again and certainly one to remember. Loved it

I really enjoyed it too!

Omg.. this was the first book by this author and holy crap it was amazing. It was emotional, it was sweet, and there was so many hard things they had to go through together. I loved it all.. I am so glad I got to review it and cannot wait for more by this author.

Oh dear you have to expect more from John Carpenter than this. A straight to DVD horror that has a very low budget and more of a 12A rating feel to it. Not scary, a few jumpy scenes and that's it. Well at least it has Amber Heard in it, to make it more interesting!

This book is really not what it looks like. It has a horses. It has a Romance in it between Austin and Brent. Will you find out what Brent is hiding? What all the mystery or even Dub finds out? It deals with family and missing folks a bit. Dub happens to see something bad.
