Amazing concept (2 more)
Great cast
Easter egg on the DVD
Outstanding film
I love this film! One you can rewatch over and over again, yet never tire of it. The film is shown in flash backs, each scene showing what happened just before the last section. The main character has short term memory loss which plays well with how the film is viewed. It has a gripping story and plenty of twists. One of the most original films ever! If you have the DVD there is an Easter egg to watch it in the correct chronological order of events, brilliant!

Great story and plot (1 more)
Unique combination of emotion and science
Almost too close for comfort
The first book in one of my favourite trilogy's. I love this series and its ability to make short jumps in scientific advancement from where we are currently to the potential of what we might become. The scientific basis of this series brings up very modern issues regarding ethics regarding both human and non-human life. A series that makes you reflect on decisions you make as an individual and as a human existing on earth. Thought provoking, never shying away from 'taboo' subjects

Just when I thought I didn't have any more patience for Young Adult fiction, along comes this book. A book so funny, so sweet, so true that it has made me give the genre another chance. The main character, Finbar Frame, is absolutely endearing in all his geekiness and attempts at being cool by becoming a vampire. The plot is simple and it's no surprise where the story goes or how it ends, but it is Finbar himself that makes the book a delight to read. <u><b>Bloodthirsty</b></u> is a very short and easy read that was most enjoyable.

this is a fantastic short story, I just couldn't put this book down and read it in one sitting. The characters are fantastic. This is a dark read, which left me wanting more and more. This is a sexy emotional read which will leave you speak less. This book will grip you from the first page, sucking you in till the very last page. I cant wait to read from this author, I absolutely love this author.

this is a very short read and I only wish it would have been longer. This is a second chance love story. This is the second book in the series. The more I read from this author they better they get. I absolutely loved the character, I fell in love with them from the first page. I read this book in one sitting and was definitely left wanting more. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

I liked this one.. a little less then mcfarlands farm but it was still sweet and cute.. the only issue i did have was that i feel like we missed some back story... like.. ok.. since he was 16 hes loved his best friends dad.. thats not unusual.. but when did things change for the dad.. how did this happen.. it wasnt "instalove" but seemed close to it because we didnt have the extra info.. overall though for a short read this was sweet.. adorable.. and i enjoyed it a lot. i cannot wait for the next one
Dean (6925 KP) rated The Grey (2012) in Movies
Feb 10, 2018
A decent survival drama/thriller as a group of men try to survive a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness with a pack of Wolves on their trail. Neeson seems to be the flavour of the year at present and does another good job here. The only problem is the story is a little bleak and tries to carry a message about death and the afterlife as well. Which starts fairly subtle before cropping up quite regularly towards the end. It has a very short scene after the credits as well. Reminded me of The Edge as well.
Hazel (2934 KP) rated Old Haunts: A Simon Serrailler Short Story in Books
Oct 21, 2018
A very short story of a flashback to a point in time when the main character Simon Serrailler reminisces about his first foray into undercover work. It also includes an extract from the newest full length book The Comforts of Home.
Although it's just enough to wet your appetite, it's not enough to really get your teeth into but I would definitely recommend you read the full length stories and use this as an added extra.
Thank you to the publisher, Random House UK, Vintage Publishing via NetGalley in return for an honest and unbiased review.

I'll keep this short and sweet otherwise I will be repeating everything I've pointed out in other reviews of this series.
I really enjoyed this, the trials and tribulations, the reality of life on the move and the beginning of their schooling was thoroughly enjoyable to read. The prose appears to develop as Laura gets older, and that is lovely. The introduction of newer characters like Nellie and Christy really help liven up the story and bring a breath of fresh air into the family dynamic.
Overall it progresses nicely, picks up right where they left off and is lovely :)
