I've currently read the first and second book, about to start the third.
Firstly I love this plot, I like the twist that instead of zombies you have haters, which are like extremely high functioning zombies, it unique and very clever, secondly I've read reviews on here about how they thought it was a slow burner,but I like that, he is setting up the story, getting to know the characters and I love the fact that he makes you empathise and root for the haters, I found myself hating the unchanged lol!! really can't say any more as I'll give the plot away but I throughly enjoyed the unique take on a apocalyptic style event that destroys the world you know and take for granted!

Great book and story. I love the characters and getting to know more about thier backgrounds. This book does reference the other five books in the universe, including some spoiliers, it gives enough to let you know you need read them, but you won't be lost if you haven't yet. If you have read them, you are in for a treat and like me probably will long for the next book. Told through multiple pov king of scars will take you on a journey, of loss,love responsibility, keeping a crumbling kingdom together as it comes apart at the seams,and hope through the darkest times. How bad can it get when you're a boy king fighting a deamon? plenty... It's Ravka
  
West Side Story (1961)
West Side Story (1961)
1961 | Drama, Musical, Romance
Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins' toweringly brilliant musical should be ring-fenced for eternity, regardless of what Steven Spielberg thinks. Racial tension and gang violence is rife on New York's west side, but when co-founder of the Jets Tony (Beymer) falls in love with Maria (Wood), sister of the leader of the Sharks, can this bring about peace and understanding between the two street gangs? (Probably not.)

Appealing leads and some soaringly beautiful love songs, but also whip-smart humour and social commentary in many of the other numbers, all superbly directed and choreographed. The darkening of the story into genuine tragedy is masterfully done. One of those transcendentally great films, especially on the big screen; the reason that we have a 10 on the scale.

I bought this book after a recommendation from one of my favorite authors but was skeptical when I saw a bunch of negative reviews on Amazon, especially criticizing the lead female character. WHY bad reviews, I have NO clue. I LOVED this book more than I can say! While I was not ok with the cheating aspect, the story was amazing. I loved the characters, fell in love with Kellan and found myself rooting for him and Kiera, just wishing Denny would leave.. People complained about Kiera's thought process and her highly sensitive ways and thoughts.. but I can only love her more for it, as she reminds me very much of myself. Another one day read for me and Im headed back in for Effortless :)

Neil Gaiman | 2005 | Fiction & Poetry, Science Fiction/Fantasy
The cast of characters (0 more)
A little confusing, sometimes (0 more)
We have always wondered, Neil tells us the answer.
I love a good epic book, I love a good story which has the various Gods in. Neil Gaiman gives us Godsand Godesses from all different cultures, they are friends and enemies, and they are not doing much now.
What a fantastic idea, Gaiman pulls it off superbly. His weird style of writing is a great fit to follow the journey of Shadow and Wednesday. It's a journey well worth telling and well worth reading.
Gaiman is not everyone's cup of tea, even if he is not yours you will enjoy this. If he is yours, why have you not read it yet?

Amazing film!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I loved the whole film, I don't think I've ever laughed and cried that much in one film before!
 the only downside for me was the way that Captain America's story arc ended. It seems selfish of him go out like that when he's been so selfless up until now..
I love how Bruce and the hulk finally managed to coexist with each other, it made that character much better!
It is a shame about Iron man but honestly with the way the character began as a playboy who doesn't really care about anything, I think it was the perfect ending for him, to have come full circle and save the entire planet. We love you 3000 Tony! <3
