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 :)

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

First I genuinely loved the plot of this and I think I'd love it as a movie but there were a few things that didn't sit right writing wise. I just didn't really vibe with the characters and while the dialogue itself was fine a lot of the internal monologue dialogue kinda annoyed me. Don't get me wrong, I love a sex scene in a book but for me there were just too many and they really detracted from the plot unfortunately. But I was invested enough in the story to finish it so I guess that's something. I listened to it on audiobook which was good as there were two different narrators for the two different perspectives which made it easy to follow.

Movie Favorite

"My current favorite Fassbinder film. A love story against all odds—the age difference is quite outrageous. Who would make a film like this now, about an older, somewhat stolid woman who finds unexpected happiness, for a time, with a handsome, younger Moroccan immigrant? Fassbinder walks a tightrope—it feels real and unsentimental, and he doesn’t shy away from cruelty, but he truly earns Emmi’s words to Ali: “Together we’re strong.” I admire the economy of the storytelling. The repetition of scenes (even camera angles)—when Emmi walks into the bar or sits on the stairwell eating her lunch—gives the film a fated quality. And I love the many strange moments when time stands still and everyone just stands there looking!"

I request this book on netgalley and was kindly sent a PDF version. Ohhhh my days! I love this story seriously I have fallen for it. Absolutely head over heels! If you are an Alice in wonderland fan or just a Disney fan you NEED this book in your life! It is completely different from Alice in wonderland and follows a different plot line and that in itself makes it refreshing and something new. New characters pop up through out which had me squealing in delight despite the fact I am 25 and should not be squealing but I did anyway! I really did love this book, and I feel like it's one I shall be re reading time and time again.
