Movie Rating

I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it in theaters when it first came out and enjoyed it then and I've found myself watching it every once in a while just to revisit it. I really love the cast, I love the plot, I love the lightheartedness of it all. I don't think it's such a bad thing that it's not a movie that particularly pushes your brain to think too much. I like that it's a comedy and even more that they read Fifty Shades of Grey. I think the jokes are 10 times funnier if you've read those books because they make so much more sense.

It's a fun, lighthearted film that I'm sure will make you laugh - either because you think it's funny or because you think it's bad. Either way, a laugh is a laugh, right?

I received this book as part of the giveaway here on Smashbomb, and I'm really glad I did because this is a book that would have potentially passed me by. Its a very good debut novel by Alex Michaelides and I look forward to seeing where he takes it next.

The book its self is a very easy read and a real page turner, it throws plenty of red herrings your way and tries to keep you guessing, it keeps the characters interesting enough for you to care whats happening.

For me the ending was signposted very early on, but I still read with excitement towards the end to see how it all unfolded.

I'd certainly recommend it, its a couple of days read so can be consumed quite easily.
