Started brilliantly, slowed a little in the middle but overall was very enjoyable. Much grittier than other James Bond films to date.

Great seeing the Guardians back on the big screen
Set 3 months later than the first one, James Gunn got to keep the same essence and chemistry from the first movie.

A decent action film mixing up a heist with a conspiracy type of plot. James Purefoy makes for a good villain. Plenty of fights, quite brutal at times. The ending was a little weak but overall well worth a watch.

It was an intriguing little mystery that I couldn't have guessed the baddie in, which I liked.

I enjoyed the romance and James was a smooth character that probably drew me in from that first meeting between him and Kat at the museum/gallery.

The writer draws you into the characters really well, giving them there own fantastic personalities. This makes this story a little light hearted in places. This story will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. A fantastic read

In the typical James Patterson style, it was soooo good you didn't want to put the book down. There were 4 story lines all going at once, which was a little overwhelming but not super confusing at all. I liked the entire book, and as always a huge fan of James Patterson.

I was not required to write a positive review, only an honest one. The opinions I have expressed here are my own.

Shyamalan back on form
Considering Shyamalan hasn't made a great film since Unbreakable, I really hadn't been expecting much from this and I'm pleased to say I was proved wrong.

This is a great return to form. James McAvoy puts in a fantastic turn as the multiple personalities, and the story itself is tense and interesting. The twist at the end was good, although I did find the general ending itself (prior to the twist) was a little disappointing but not enough to ruin the film.

Firstly, that continuous shot at Dunkirk beach is fantastic. I love everything Keira Knightly is in, and her and James McAvoy are perfect together (that library scene...). The acting is brilliant, and the story is so good on film (book-not so much).
This film always makes me cry, it softens my little stone, black heart.

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

James finds himself with a divorce, and the loss of his precious restaurant so he runs to the only place, the only person, he ever really called home. Ben has loved James forever, but having him crashing on his couch is playing havoc with his well built walls. But is what Ben feels as one sided as he thinks??

For the most part, I enjoyed this. I just found James a little much to deal with at times!

And I am left with questions that didn't get answered. I'm NOT going to voice them here, because if you read reviews before buying you might be left with the same questions and it might spoil it for you. It did NOT spoil my reading experience, not at all, I'm just left wondering about a few things.

I did like that James came to the realization of his feelings for Ben before Ben made a move. I did like that, once they decided to do this, James and Ben go ALL in, especially on James' part, since he's been in the closet all this time.

It was a lovely read, a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. A little longer than the usual hang over cure, but I used it as such.

A not overly complicated, well written tale, with just a few things missing.
