I picked up this book as a film version is coming out and I must admit, I'll probably watch it at some point. The love story itself for this novel is serviceable, but I could predict the entire plot within the first 20 pages and, at times, actually found myself cringing and rolling my eyes as I was reading certain lines. Not fun.

LOL
This story has it all. Vamp, demons, fairies, angels and even a horny little old man. What more can anyone ask for. This book is a laugh a minute. You have to love Robyn's sense of humor. I have to say I loved the babies demons Rachel, Ross, Beyonce and Honest Abe. Keeping my fingers crossed that book two comes out fast.

Fun haunted house story
Strand has the unique ability to make the horrific funny. SICK HOUSE goes from zero to sixty in about thirty pages and then never lets up. Beyond that, his characters are flawed but likeable--an increasingly rare phenomenon in horror. And it never seems forced, nor does he rely on cheap thrills and cliches. I love it.

Happy??? Tears?
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cry some more....
This movie was great. Like most Marvel movies, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The constant witty dialogue, action, heartbreaking scenes, and the characters we love kept me in my seat. It's a beautifully made movie, and probably the best I have seen this year.

So I have a weakness for firefighters and disasters. This book has both and a pretty good love story as well. The characters are likable and real. The setting is amazing, I want to live there. The plot flows really well with a slow burn romance. Nothing to cheesy or contrived. It just seems to happen because it is meant to be.

Beautiful and heartbreaking.. God, I LOVE this series!! Enjoyed taking my time with this book, savoring every precious moment and thought in his head as well as revisiting this incredible story. Ive always loved Kiera, feeling so much like her, with her constant insecurities and nervousness. Reliving it all again thought Kellan's POV was heart wrenching... but I loved every moment ;-)

honestly? my favorite classic (after P&P of course). It's beautiful, sad, and full of gorgeous moments. i genuinely love this book so much like i cannot express it. the language is simple, which made it an easy read for 2nd grade me, and the characters and storyline played out particularly well. i truly loved this story and everything about it.

A good film with a good story line, but i didn't love it. I enjoyed watching it and found it entertaining and not too far fetched. The acting was ok but i don't think that the film lived up to the hype that it got. Probably not something i would watch a second time unless somebody i was with wanted to watch it.

Entertaining, action packed, funny at times, nice actor's performances and battle scenes. Badass women included (they actually appear much stronger than Aquaman ?) (0 more)
DC tries as always to be darker and funnier than Marvel, and fails. CGI could be better, and the love story less cheesy in my opinion. (0 more)
Exceeded my expectations
All in all, better than most DC movies, apart from. Wonder woman.

Dystopia
I was very late to the party in reading this book and trilogy and all I can ask is why did I not read it before? This was outstanding, and I adored the characters, it does make you really try to choose who Katniss should be with in the love triangle and I could not recommend it more.
