Anyway. This was good.
Both Echo and Noah have issues that they need to deal with. I liked them both from the first meeting in the counsellors office. So they didn't exactly get along to start with. So what?
Being able to read both POV was enlightening. Sometimes I prefer only seeing one but with this, seeing how Echo was dealing with her issues and how Noah was doing with his was great. I liked how they helped each other deal and how the counsellor worked with them both.
I liked them as a couple, better than Luke and Echo together anyway. In fact, most of Echo's friends were horrible. Noah's might have been stoner's but Isaiah was really nice. Not so sure about Beth though :/
Anyway. I have books 1.5, 2 and 3 in the series to be getting on with but unfortunately they will have to wait.

The plot: The film tells the story of Jack Burton, who helps his friend Wang Chi rescue Wang's green-eyed fiancée from bandits in San Francisco's Chinatown. They go into the mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown, where they face an ancient sorcerer named David Lo Pan, who requires a woman with green eyes to marry him in order to release him from a centuries-old curse.
To compete with rival production The Golden Child’s casting of box office draw Eddie Murphy, Carpenter wanted a big star of his own and both Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicholson were considered but were busy.
The studio felt Kurt Russell was an up-and-coming star. Russell was initially not interested because he felt there were "a number of different ways to approach Jack, but I didn't know if there was a way that would be interesting enough for this movie.
You wouldnt think that the director of "Halloween", "The Fog" and "The Thing" would director this but he did
Its a excellent film.
