This was something wonderful. I teach us about friendship and forgiving. It also about finding a missing child. It show what the Amish do for each person or children even neighbor's children. It show the difference in English world and their world. I just love the story and plot behind it. This is the third in this series. I still need to read book number 2. I recommend this book those that love Amish or Beverley Lewis.
  
Not the first time I've encountered this take ("demons" are just powerful beings in charge of a particular reality who have been labeled "evil" by beings from a competing reality whose PR has fared better in modern times) but I can't remember the last time it was pushed quite this heavily. I would probably advise most Christians, particularly Baptists, to give this one a pass.

Don't worry, you aren't exactly missing any deathless prose or original plotting, anyway.

This was an extremely fast read. I enjoyed the plot and the characters but I do wish that the characters were more developed. I couldn't really connect to any characters simply because of the curse of the novilla. There just isn't enough space to develop a character when you only have 80 pages to read. All in all, I enjoyed it but it was missing the characters that I am sure I would love if fleshed out.

Elizabeth is missing is an easy read tackling a tough subject matter (dementia). I was gripped from the get go reading about Maud and attempting to unmuddle her mind. I found myself very attached to her story both past and present. Without giving away to much, a slightly disappointing ending, leaving me with more questions than I had to begin with. Overall I loved Emma Healeys storytelling and would read a few more of her books in the future

Jaws in aisle 3
I had heard about this a while back as it was made in 2012. Expecting it to be a very bad low budget B movie. It's not as bad as Sharknado thankfully. It still suffers from some bad acting, script and dodgy CGI. If you don't mind the silly low budget, bargain bin films you might find this OK. You're not missing much if you don't take the bait...

I have read the majority of Jodi Picoult books. She knows how to write a good controversial book, making you see both sides to the story. The characters, in their own rights, are very likeable. My sister's keeper is a very powerful write, and it makes you realise just how fragile life can be. The film with Cameron Diaz was a bit poor, and there was a lot that was missing, and added that was not in the book.

The first series is great, something very different to your normal shows, especially with the Artic setting. The first series is like a Whodunit in a small town with a small and rather odd population.
The following series got gradually weaker and weirder. Ending with a very short 3rd series that wasn't needed. Watch the first series, 2nd if you really enjoyed it but you're not missing much with the 3rd.
