I really enjoyed this - a little unrealistic but would love to see this happen in real life if only to show that 'old' people are not useless or boring and have dreams and aspirations as much as anyone else. I actually know a few people who would love to be in the characters shoes!

I liked the writing style and pace of the book and was very impressed on how well it was translated.

Very creepy in more ways than one. There are practical, real life terrors and also some evil and unnatural. There is a healthy dose of religion in this story as well, but as big of a role as it plays, it doesn't get preachy. The story pulls you in right from the beginning and this one does not wait long for the action to begin! He doesn't let this takeaway from the characters either.

This was a very sweet and lovely story. I enjoyed the characters and everything they went through. For me it was a more typical romance, but I enjoy those so no issues there. I enjoyed the romance involved... loved the main characters and loved watching them get together. I also enjoyed the issues they had too, made it feel more "real life". Very good story and I look forward to more from this author.

A movie with heart that's as big as a titan giant, I Kill Giants will move you like a giant moves, well, anything in its path. It's a beautifully told story that is similar to Pan's Labyrinth in the sense that it tells the tale of a girl who is dealing with the difficulties of real life through her imagination. Unlike most of Harry Coveleski's pitches, I Kill Giants is a homerun.

I absolutely loved watching this story about a teenage lad with autism looking for a girlfriend. In fact I binge watched the whole of the first season in one sitting. You really fall in love with his family as they work together to support this wonderful young man achieve his goals. It is both funny and moving and gives you a real insight into the life of someone with autism. I reccomend it!
