Great acting (0 more)
Bit slow at times and predictable (0 more)
It's well written and the acting is amazing especially when you think the main characters are so young. I didn't watch it untill everyone was going on about it which may have ruined it for me as it didn't live up to the hype. I found it a bit predictable at times and just wanted the story to pick up a bit. Season 2 for me was a lot better than the 1st

Book Rating
Inspirational. Emotional. This is a powerful 4 star read!

Truly inspirational book which tells of the power of love between a mother and her children.

Reading this you soon realise that Cara Brookins accomplished something so incredible following years of abuse. I found myself laughing, crying and at times biting my nails in horror at each inspiration chapter of this amazing family rise from their ruined old lives.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the advanced copy of this book.

Book Favorite

"Most of my recent essays include a reference to Jane Austen and to my mum. I read and reread "Persuasion" for its painful rendering of love that continues in the absence of an object, and for the delicacy of its heroine’s goodness. Anne, in the sadness of what she believes to be her ruined life, can be concerned to prevent a country walk from being spoiled by her sister Mary-- a marvelous depiction of obnoxiousness. And the happy ending is delicious."

Still leased by Sony, who has not been good at the superhero movie
Reclaim what is rightfully yours, Marvel!
He's a teen! He sucks at life! Being Spider-Man is burdensome!
I'll give it this: that's pretty damned close to perfect as far as the writing goes. That said, I'm sure Sony will screw it up, like that time they shoehorned in Venom into SM3 for toy purposes and ruined it. Sigh.
