First time I've seen this movie its a good movie sometimes the movie can be rather be disturbing in its depiction of modern youth and its display of violence but still its a masterpiece of cinema. malcolm mcdowell as alex the main character and narrator of the movie and is without a doubt the best thing about the movie. Also when I hear singing in the rain it would be hard not to remember some of what happens in that scene. Overall Brilliant movie

A Masterpiece
Where do I begin? I found no faults with this book, absolutely no criticisms whatsoever. The whole thing is a masterpiece in so many different ways and I cannot give it enough praise or do it enough justice. It is entirely unique, from the plot to the characters, the magic system and world building and especially the brilliant narration and author inserts. I have never read anything like it and I sincerely doubt I ever will. It also serves in putting across valuable lessons of life and the heart in such a way that is both simple to understand but complex in detail. This book is equal parts uplifting and heartwrenching and I can do nothing but applaud the author for her outstanding work and implore everyone, no matter their age, to read it in the hopes that they will take away something as incredible and treasured as I have. I'm holding out all my hope that there are many more adventures in this world yet to come.

*Note: This is the second installment in a series of companions but it does stand alone and anything carried over from the first novel is clearly explained when needed.

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.
