I really wanted to give this five stars, it's my favorite of Austen's novels excepting Northanger Abbey, but the idea that Fanny was oh, so fortunately raised by those who would be her family, that her husband influenced her opinions, temper, and worldview is beyond creepy. I can get over the cousin aspect but the molding of the perfect wife very nearly ruined it for me.

i jumped into this series at book 3. not many important spoilers. but then i jumped from book 3 to this one. BAD idea. HUGE spoiler. it's kind of ruined the beginning of the series for me. instead of enjoying the storyline and going with the flow i'm analyzing character actions.
besides the disappointment of knowing too much, it was still entertaining, though not my favorite.

"A book that imprinted me at a young age more than almost any other. (Patti Smith’s lifelong fixation has nearly ruined him for me but I’ll get over it.) He uses a terse footnote on page one — as a 13-year-old reader, startling and altering my idea of the possibilities of Literature itself – that in its power illumines David Foster Wallace’s Footnote Forest as moronic/masturbatory."

That ending.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Clicked spoilers as I don't want to ruin for anyone that wishes to start watching it.
I actually hated the ending of this so much - watched the whole series for it to end up being essentially obsolete. I like the series a lot but the ending ruined it for me.

I wasn’t too sure about the release of a reworking of Romero’s classic, I’m a big fan of the original movie and love the look of it in black & white, the colourised version that was released ruined it for me. So the idea of an animated version had me wondering how it would work and if it would bring anything to the original movie.

Ruined entire premise of light
Ruined L
Bad writing
What's with this teen angst
With seriously never been so angry
I'm used to Hollywood ruinning Japanese anime by now. However this is possibly the worst anime film adaption ever.

Anime/magna Light is a genius who at the start truly does what he believes is right and just and later power turns him mad, into a genius on power who clever enough to manipulate a good of death. What does this film give us a whingey teenage angst ridden pathetic human being who in love with the cliche of cliche cheerleader.


Don't get me started with the cheerleader


L anime and manga is a genius who has beyond increble presence power and essence not to mention his stance and love of cake is notorious that makes you love him more. This L is just bad and that giving him credit.


William Dafoe plays the voice of Ryuk which isn't enough to do anything for this film unfortunately because I do love William Dafoe and no one plays villain like him but the writing and general Hollywood let see if we can make generic cash cow by using popular teen actors rather than getting decent script writer or following any semblance of plot has ruined this movie

Oh...Okay
I enjoyed her writing style a lot. I enjoyed the way things were explained and drawn out, and I really enjoyed the premise. What I didn't like, and what ruined the reading experience for me, was how much I hated the main character. She kept whining. It was frustrating to me. I ended up not finishing the series.

Goodbye to my childhood
The beauty of original Baytwatch was it corney but feel good because it didn't take itself to seriously. The film however tryed to corneyby taking away from the feel good or openly focusing on the corney aspect and trying to make them dramatic. Unfortunely it just didn't work.

Felt like a low budget rushed sequel
Lazy low budget sequel
This had the potential to become a whole new series of Horror films with a creative new villian. This film has probably ruined that. The story felt like part of a film and not a complete film in its own right. Missed opportunity.
