Fast-paced page turner, but a bit predictable
From the opening scene, this book hits the road running. Lori, a straight-talking bounty hunter, formerly a stripper, is focused solely on her daughter and keeping her safe. Her job is to bring in her former bounty hunter mentor JT, who slowly reveals the truth behind his arrest and the reason for him becoming a fugitive. It definitely depicts the darker side of the Sunshine State.

It's exciting to read but not a literary masterpiece as such and definitely predictable. The plot is light on surprises and depth, but it's an enjoyable page-turner.

Couldn't put this down
You know you're on to great book when you read 200+ pages in one evening sitting and have to tear yourself away to go to bed. This isn't a great literary masterpiece, but it's a fantastically gripping YA whodunit. The plot was interesting and I liked the structure, splitting it between each character's point of view. The main characters themselves are all well developed, flawed but still loveable. My only criticism is that I was slightly disappointed with the ending as I predicted it beforehand. But this is still a hugely entertaining read.

Bold and Brilliant
Usually, I give a brief synopsis when giving a review, but this movie is best experienced if you know very little of what to expect.
In Heath Ledger's very last performance, which he was filming around the time that he passed away, this true gem will leave you dazzled and in complete awe of the world at which these wonderful characters live in.
Just try not to guess what may happen, but lose yourself in the experience of this true visual masterpiece.

A rabbit hole you must fall into
A friend sent me this book and from the first page I was captured.
It’s a spider web of characters that I want to follow.
It’s a world that invited me in and I’m hoping to stay permanently.
The plot weaves a tantalising invitation that begs you to stay within its pages.
People aren’t who they seem and things aren’t what they seem.
Ink is an unsung masterpiece
I couldn’t love it more

Ultimate Classic
This musical is a masterclass in brilliance.
Performances that stand the test of time, Tim Curry (my claim to fame is that my mother in law once had relations with him )delivers a performance that is impossible to forget.
Meatloaf is out of this world with his song and in my opinion no one on stage has ever come close to matching how he effortlessly owns Whatever Happened to Saturday Night.

If you haven’t seen this film yet then do not waste another second.
