Ok, so I never saw the twist coming.
This story is crafted so well, and kept me so engaged, that it was hard to put the book down. The entire time, I felt so bad for Cass - what must it be like to forget things like how to use the washing machine or the microwave? Terrifying, I imagine. To feel like you're losing your mind, and then to find out you were being gas-lighted all along by the two people you love most in the world?
I felt vindicated right along with her when the truth came out and she got some measure of revenge on her husband and best friend - both of whom are just terrible, terrible people and deserve every ounce of it. In truth, the actual "murder mystery" part of the story was entirely secondary for me, as I was completely wrapped up in what was happening to Cass.

Love/Hate Relationship with this Novel
I both like and hate this book. I like the storyline it has great potential but it fell flat for me. Here's why: The point of view jumped around way too much. I thought the idea of changing point of view was good except the execution sucked. It went from one to another so hard I got whiplash and it kind of takes you out of the story trying to figure out who's part of the story you're following. The second thing that stuffed it up was the way it was written. I get that the people in it are kids they're all 18 and under but the way they thought was painful. I mean they crawl out of a hole in the damn ground all bloodied and totally f**ked up and she's worried about her hair? F**k off with that s**t. I don't care how old you are there's no way you'd be worried about that type of crap at that point. It's so shallow it hurts. The last thing is, wtf is with Cassie getting all sappy over Ben? The guy you're sort of dating might be dead and Ben kisses you and you get all mushy about it? Are you f**king kidding me? I'm sorry but you'd have a bullet in your head if it were me. I'm going to give the rest of the series a chance but at this point I'm not hopeful....

Wow. Just an incredible, near-perfect zombie movie!
I had heard a lot about this movie, I just never took the time to watch it. Man, what was I waiting for? I went in expecting a traditional zombie movie, and in a way, that's what I got. But this film is so much more. The acting is very girl (seriously, can that little girl stop tearing my heart apart?). The characters are full and you care about each of them. Some you love. Some you despise with every fiber of your being. The world feels real and functional. There really never was a dull moment. The movie grips you early and leaves you an emotional wreck after its thrilling climax.
I feel like any words I could write cannot relay how much I enjoyed this movie, and look forward to any future stories from this world that may be on the horizon. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor. Don't wait and watch it now.

Yes, I watched it twice... well why not? I've got Unlimited and it was very entertaining.
I'm going to dispense with most of the "official" waffle about this one. You know it's going to be a kick ass action movie and you know it's going to be funny. Some bits were a little awkward, and it probably wasn't as good as the first one, but it was still really enjoyable.
This one might make you want to lay off the burgers for a little while, but it will also make you love Mark Strong/Merlin even more than you did in the first place.
I do have one bugbear though, the trailer shows you part of the car chase with Galahad in the taxi, the music they use is a remix of The Who's song, My Generation. It works amazingly well. But of course like so many movies, that song was only used in the trailer, and the music that was over it in the film didn't work for me.

Definitively epic
The premise of the story is something I've not seen before. You are a little creature trying to return the light (and other things) to the world that it is situated in. Helping other beings along the way and spreading love/light. I played on my xbox one.
It is a puzzle game that really gets you thinking and is very clever. I spent quite some hours on this game trying to figure out the puzzles. There are several "boss battles" although these are not in the usual sense. I recommend giving it a go to find out.
The fantasy setting is stunning, the special effects, the colours, everything is just dialed up and it looked so wonderful on my HD tv.
The game is almost too sure although I have spent 20 hours completing it, I've now gone back to finish each section of the map to 100%.
If you like puzzle games I would highly recommend even for the less frequent gamer (like myself).
