Real nuns were scarier
Being a fan of the Conjuring movies & Annabelle: Creation, I was looking forward to this film. So, it was a let down that the movie was kinda lame. It totally relies on jump scares, which is the cheap way out for horror. Take these out & the movie still wasn't scary. I did like the look of the film & the acting was above average. The story was okay as well. I don't feel like I wasted my time with this, but I would never watch it again.
Sorry for the short review, but there's not much to say about the film.
  
fab read
This is the second part in this set but the seventh part in this series by this authjor. These books need to be read in order to fully understand the story between the characters. This book is full of twists and turns, surprises, drama, lies, betrayal and loads of suspense. amazing well written characters just like the first book. This is a short read but the author has packed a lot into the pages. I can't wait to read more in this set and by this author in the future.



Highly recommended set

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Wonderful for all ages and Dragon Lovers!

This is one of my all-time favourite books and it still brings a lump to my throat when I read it to my daughters. In fact, it is their most requested book to be read out too.

The story (although short) is wonderful and trips off your tongue with lilting cadences and takes you from start to finish with a rhyme. The illustrations are magnificent, but maybe not the "normal" which just makes it more enjoyable.

Highly recommended for reading to your children or grandchildren ..... or if you want to remind yourself of where the dragons really are!

As a CJUS major and a future lawyer, this movie made me nerd out. Obviously, Matt Damon is a hottie and the film is worth watching for him alone, but Danny DeVito and Jon Voight too? This cast is phenomenal. The story was so good too! Johnny Whitworth's performance, though short, was super incredible, heartbreaking, and solid. He roped you in so well and just made you feel for him - even though it wasn't that hard.

I could watch this a million times over and even though there were definitely mistakes (the legal ones), it was worth overlooking and still an enjoyable film, no doubt.

"I have to declare an interest here—I was the production designer of the film. Terence Davies takes us on a fictionalized journey through his childhood. There is no story; the film is composed of memories, some long and complicated, some very short, all vivid. A shot onto a carpet in which nothing happens but movements of shadow and sunlight is memorable because so universal; a sailing ship seen in a child’s schoolroom daydream, the tortures of confused guilt, the joys of a close family life, and the loneliness of the outsider are, in one way or another, common to us all. Davies has somehow caught that essence for us."

Wuld Wasteland is a great perk!
Very glitch heavy. (0 more)
Good, but glitchy
I had to start this game again because I ran into a big glitch that stopped me completing the main story.
Sadly, this was not the only glitch I encountered.
The issue was Obsidian were given a very short amount of time to make the game, considering that, it is still a great game.
While the compleationist in me is sad I was unable to do all the challenges I wanted, it was still brilliant!
Now to resist starting again and siding with the legion.

Although Suen writes very nicely, I think she needs to work on the old "show, don't tell" part of her writing. Her protagonist Conner seems like a nice enough person, but overall, he's pretty bland, and I really felt that there were things that didn't fit well. Grief is a powerful emotion, and I felt that while reading this, that Suen held back and didn't let all of the emotions into the character or the story. Plus, there's a twist in the end that simply doesn't make sense. This could be a really lovely book, but I'm afraid it fell short for me. Sorry!
