This is a perfect short read for bedtime. A fun story about Mama Graciela, her bacalaitos fritos (codfish fritters which everyone should eat as we here at home love to make them) and her many cats. The story is enthusiastic and I loved the illustrations. -YA/NA Book Divas

There is a lot of sick and twisted-ness in here which I always love, but it's the story and the great set of characters in this book that really got me into this! There are also added bonuses for Stephen King fans with many subtle references to different books, showing that this story also takes place in his father's universe. PS. Be sure to read "a note on the type" at the end :-)
  
what a fab read, I really loved the characters and the story. this I a story of love, betrayal and family which will keep you reading long into the night. this book has plenty of suspense to keep a hold on you. this is the second book I've read in the nine circles series but it can be read as a stand alone.

This is a contemporary romance story by this author. I really enjoyed this story, it was sweet with a different edge to it. The characters were fantastic, they had such an emotional connection. I was hooked from the first page and fell in love with the characters at the same time. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Another incerdible Jack Reacher story!
Read my first Jack Reacher story by Lee Child and was hooked! Die Trying is book #2 in the series and even if read out of order these books will keep you hooked from page one. Every book is action-packed and as with every series, I love reading and being familiar with the characters and Jack's surely a guy leading an interesting life!? highly recommended book & series!

A very good love story with fine acting. Some seem to question the whole time travel side of it a bit too much and it may confuse some. It's a great story and quite similar to Sandra Bullock's other recent film Premonition.
If you can ignore or get your head around the time travel theory of using information in the present to change the past etc then you will enjoy this romantic movie!

I have watched this film many times over and still am not bored with it. I'm not usually big on romance films but I loved the whole concept of this.

I LOVE this.
I got it in a Goodreads giveaway, was really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.
A charming story about Pug's adventure, a fun plotline with great humour, and surrounded with wonderful illustrations.
Now to pass on to my 9 and 7 yr old as I know they will like the story, and could easily read it by themselves.
I'll be looking out for future books.

Not one of the best...
One of the worst, if not the worst game in the Resident Evil franchise.

The story of the game is good, and introduced the franchise's love of ships, but due to the terrible design of the game, it is almost impossible to progress within the game.

One plus though, due to the awkward game design, it keeps the tension of the other games!

Masterpiece
A great movie with great actors. Actors owned their characters. Isn't easy to believe that this is just a movie, and not some medieval documentary. A great story about a very important journey. Be prepared to embark on it with our characters, because it's very long. It has something to laugh about, something to cry about, something to think about. Story about trust, honor, friendship and love with a lot of fighting scenes.
