Lulu
Todays cinema watch for a movie that’s basically one man and his dog for the entire run time it was rather good movie watching channing tatum trying to tame lulu the dog and the mishaps in between and this being channing Tatum first time as a director did a good job but for me the real star of the movie is lulu the dog made me laugh how he got briggs into so many scrapes during its 90 runtime overall good afternoon movie

A 13 year old girl violently murdering white supremacist, swastika tattoo bearing, neo-nazi assholes? Absolutely fuck yes.
Lulu Wilson is great. Kevin James is great (definitely needs to do more dramatic roles). That big dude is utterly terrifying. It's gory as hell.
Becky is a unencumbered blast from start to finish.

Ok but a little too simple
This looked ok as a kind of extremely violent Home Alone as a young teenage girl takes on some escaped prisoners at her home in the woods. It's enjoyable if a bit silly and over the top. I've seen better though with @Better Watch Out (2016) more in line with a violent Home Alone film.

I hate writing less-than-positive reviews, especially for authors I typically enjoy, but this book was not a favorite of mine. It's told across Lulu and Alex's four class trips (one per year) with flashbacks to other times. I simply could not warm up to Lulu or Alex. Honestly, of the two, I probably liked him better, but we don't hear his side. It took nearly half the book for the story to engage me even a little bit, and I thought about giving up, but for some reason, I have a tough time just stopping a book.
Now, I read YA a ton, so it's not that I don't enjoy YA novels. I read one right after this and *loved* it. But I found this story way too simplistic, and I feel like teens would too. There is so much better YA out there--for all of us. The book just felt simplistic in its writing and the "will they / won't they" storyline was boring. I did not care if they did or not. Honestly, there was a side plot about Lulu's gay best friend Max that was much more interesting--I would have rather read about him!
Supposedly Lulu is an artist/writer and that's her thing, but that felt forced. Mostly, the book felt about a girl (and her friends) all trying to find boys to like (and like them back). That's what they cared about and talked about. I felt no huge connection between Alex and Lulu and hence no reason to root for them to choose each other. They didn't feel destined for one other, as most couples do in a good romance. The story does pick up a bit near the end, but by then, I just felt burned out.
So maybe this story would resonate a bit more with a teen set (and it should be an older teen set, due to language and themes), but there are a lot of other better books out there. Now, others seem to enjoy this more than me, so maybe I just got caught in a bad mood. 2.5 stars for me, though.

Lots of action at the start but not a lot in the remainder of the novel
Will they?
This novel starts with the same level of action that is expected from the previous instalment in the series, although this quickly diminishes as the story continues. I found the majority of this story to be whimsical but lacking any action as the author attempts to build the story to a grand finale which never quite happens.
