Probably the best TV show to ever exist (and that's not an overstatement)
The Wire is the one TV show I will recommend to anyone who will give me five minutes to talk about TV shows. The show's take on the issues affecting the slums of Baltimore is outstanding and cleverly developed into a complex but always engaging narrative. David Simon's real-life experience with the issue he portrays shows through and the use of actors - sometimes non-actors picked off the street - really heightens the realism. Absolutely mesmerising.

This is the fourth outing for the main character, DS Mark Heck Heckenberg. Despite not having read any of the previous ones, it didn't matter as the author was adept at developing the characters and giving them real depth and bringing them to life and I dont feel I lost out at all not having read any of the others.

Relate-able content (apart from the magic)
Magical
So much detail
The Begining
This is the start of a magical journey. Once you start reading, you won't stop until you've read all 7 and watched all 8 movies. It has so much details. So many people can relate to characters with real life problems from PTSD, Anxiety, ETC and people can relate to the emotions you read about from embarrassment, jealousy and sadness.
Once you're hooked, most of your bank account gets emptied. There's so many add on books, movies and other types of merchandise you can buy.

I absolutely loved this book! I am a huge Nora Roberts fan and she I've never not enjoyed reading one of her stories and this one didn't disappoint. I loved Abigail and Brooks, I loved how he never gave up and broke through her wall and wore her down so that she could experience real, unconditional love in her life. And even though I knew that it was going to happen, it didn't change how happy it made me feel when I was listening to the audiobook. This was a great read as always when it comes to Nora Roberts.

Promising premise but poor execution
A horror film based on a real life suicide forest in Japan sounds like it's made to succeed, but sadly The Forest doesn't deliver.
Natalie Dormer is alright as the lead and she does fairly well, the problem is she doesn't have much to work with. The film isn't particular scary and I feel they could have done so much more to raise the fear factor instead of throwing in some obligatory and obvious jump scares. The ending was quite good and actually fairly unexpected, but parts of it were a little silly.

I had a few thoughts while watching this film: Would Nicole Kidman actually look like that in real life if she hadn't gotten her face done? As well as, damn, I think this film is a remake of Point Break.
I saw this a few days ago, and honestly, Sebastian Stan was the best part. I didn't think there was enough of him, obviously, the story was focused on Nicole Kidman's character. The storytelling was interesting, and a pleasant surprise. But, this film is essentially Point Break by another name with slight changes.

Lol..this story made me laugh.. in so many spots.. It was so read and wonderful. Adrian was a total dick and an arse.. yet he was real and made me smile. Melody on the othe rhand is his opposite.. These two kind of reminded me of my own life.. with my husband. So watching them interact and their love blossom and the messiness of their lives made me giggle. Their are some very yummy scenes as well and it was so much fun to read this and I'm so glad I got to review it
Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology in Books

Wow! If I didn't love Leah Remini before, I certainly do now. I found her book to be extremely insightful. I also liked how everything was made easy to understand especially the Scientology terms.
What I love the most about Leah is how real she is. She doesn't hold anything back.
This book isn't just about Scientology. It's about Leah's life. Leah was so honest and truthful in her book, it seemed.
Scientology is a cult. It's a shame how they treated Leah and many of their members and ex members.
I would definitely recommend this book!
