Noelle Winters does a good job creating a sense of suspense in [Remember Me]. The plot centers around Katy who's daughter was kidnapped three years ago. Suddenly the case is refreshed by a picture of her daughter being sent to her. The FBI sends Alex to liason with local law enforcement and the family on this case that her father originally worked. These two broken women find friendship and hope within each other.

The plot of this takes some unexpected twists. The romance is there but not the main focus. It was a really quick read with developed characters and a very steady pace.

This was a really interesting book. I really liked the fact that the book had some pictures in it. It helps the reader visualize what the character is seeing. The pictures are old vintage photos so it also helped shape the feel of the book too.

I waited a while to read this book because of the price but I will say that this book was worth the money I spent on it. It has fantasy, mystery and a little bit of romance. It shows the struggles of the characters and makes you entranced with the writing.

Ransom Riggs is a very good author and this book was well written.

Hmm...well I didn't guess right in my hunt for the bad guy, in fact the person I thought it was ended up dead themselves. It was a very interesting and well thought out storyline.

It was the romance that I didn't enjoy as much. There wasn't much reading time of the couple together, not until after the half way point could they even really be in the same room without arguing over the past--though it was all one big misunderstanding.

I like Josh's work and I'm sure I'll read the next book in the series at some point just to see what happens next with these two.

With a storyline like this I expected to be more emotionally involved in Zach and David's story, but I found it quite hard in that respect.

I felt sorry for Zach for his ordeal and for David over the guilt he felt. I also felt sorry for the possible romance they missed out on with Zach's disappearance.

That being said I didn't really connect with them or the story.

I did like the interaction between the two guys; some of the things they said to each other in their more tender moments were really sweet.

I'd definitely consider reading more books by the author.

Beautiful film nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The director plays with various genres ranging from action, drama, noir and romance. The technical part is perfect and the rhythm helps a lot. It's funny how during the film we completely forget that the main character is not really a good guy, but a criminal without many scruples, and this is a very interesting asset of the film, as he intentionally manipulates the spectator's perception. The performances are great, but it's a picture movie, even when the lighting is dark. There are some clichés throughout the movie, but the pacing helps to soften that. I really liked it.
