It was a good book and I’m sure the sequel will be even better but I feel like there could have been more depth to it. I don’t know, I just think there was something missing. When it ended I felt it was a bit meh. I’ll read the next one because I dislike leaving it on a cliff hanger but I hope there’s a lot more to it.

This was a very interesting little book, it was a very quick read and was just over 100 pages long. It's definitely an interesting take on the 'citizenship' test. I can't really say more because it would ruin the main plot point. I'm actually still thinking about this book, solely because of the slightly-sinister ending. I would actually read a sequel or any continuation of this idea.

Wonderful imaginative character development. Better than many similar storylines (0 more)
No sequel and less than original concept (0 more)
Set in Oregon, but way cooler to visit than Portland
Full story that ends nicely, with a nerd champion who's behavior and perspectives are realistic and attainable. Makes you question modern games in ways Enders Game or similar stories have not. Also, if you do the audiobook, Wil Wheaton narrates, and he's a wonderful narrator.

Interesting setting and time frame/newly imagined world (0 more)
Predictable love story that's been overplayed (0 more)
Overall, the story didn't start to irritate me until the end and to be fair it was left with the opportunity for a more interesting sequel. I was just really impressed with it's strong, imaginative opening and then disillusioned with the cliche ending. Despite just an "okay" review, I still might give the second book a go.

Much better than I had expected. A big budget, action packed, fun new vision of Sherlock Holmes. A good well picked cast, great visuals, quite a lot of cgi and plenty of humour. Nice to see Guy Ritchie do more than just East London Gangster films! Also features the quickest journey from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge ever, artistic licence for you!! Sequel out next year!

Savage
This is such an original idea. The novel is set in a post apocalypse of sorts, where violent acts create physical monsters that terrorise a divided city. I've never read anything like it before; it was brilliantly written, and left me wanting more from the characters (I'm just starting on the sequel, and can't wait to see what August and Kate are up to now!).

Beautifully written and completely original yet not so far fetched as to be totally unbelievable. Character driven and focused on the relationships between them as well as between humans and nature. I couldn't put it down and read it in one day unfortunately, as it was one of those rare and magical stories that I never wanted to end. I hope to see a sequel in the future. Highly recommended!!

Long awaited sequel
This was an excellent movie, especially in comparison to the original's animation. There was a compelling storyline and characters that helped to to feel invested in the ending. The plot twists are not anticipated until the very last moment and it is quite exciting, especially for the you get age group it caters to. The long wait is finally over and the Incredibles are back with a vengeance.

It is cast so well (1 more)
As the first film, it covers relatable topics with natural comedy.
A rare funnier sequel.
Proper laugh out loud moments, story is so relatable and the comedy doesn't seem forced. Check out this clip which is my favourite part of the film as it's such a true thing and I proper loved the chemistry of the guys in this scene.

Enjoy.
