Was I supposed to like Daisy? Because I sure as hell didn't.

She ruined this entire book for me in all honesty. Gatsby and Tom were interesting and troubled characters who were both manipulated by pathetic ol' Daisy. She turns her back on Gatsby as soon as trouble arrives and I hate her for it, what gave her the right to treat him in such a way when all he ever did was love her and try to do what he thought would be best for her?

Don't read this book if you're easily annoyed by whiny women and bad things happening to good people.

"As celebrated as he was for his pioneering work in quantum physics—e.g., Schrödinger’s equation and the paradox known as Schrödinger’s Cat—What Is Life? sealed the great man’s reputation as a crank, mystical dreamer, and in some quarters, a traitor to science. This doom befell a small book from 1944 that, innocently enough, applies the principles of physics and chemistry to the life of a cell. What ruined the author’s reputation but came as a phenomenal breakthrough for me was that Schrödinger placed consciousness front and center in the phenomenon of life on Earth. It’s one of the most prophetic messages of all time."

For a debut novel this contains fantastic writing. How I imagine one might act suffering such abuse by someone of authority, who was to teach and have you grow. At 15 Vanessa believes this to be a real first love, then as she matures she finds all the things left broken by it. It makes her seem questionable in some spaces in the book where you just want to shake her I do think it's fair to say that there are people out there that suffered to have to turn it into something else so that everything isn't ruined. That's what this book does so well shows the struggle of realization.

I want to be an Amazon
The opening of this film was spectacular. the use of athletes as amazon was genious and worked better than anything CGI could produce. I truley was excited by this film and then they left the Island.

Unfortunely I found the middle to be far to long didnt feel a great connection between Diana and Steve on boat or in London. Honestly if those scence where a lot shorter I would of given this film a 10/10. however they kept the length and for me it ruined the film. The last half hour was great and the opening was stunning.

So disappointed
I came away from this sooo disappointed, in the main the film was good with exciting action sequences aplenty but for me the whole thing was ruined by the lazy cliches. For example the main protagonist ( who has been trying to kill all of them and in some cases succeeding) being knocked unconscious in a fight not being finished off only to rise up again and attempt to kill them yet again and when the main stars are on a rooftop surrounded by fire looking like their about to die when an aircraft rises up a collects them (alien anyone?) just one too many copycats for me
