Watched last night on Disney + after watching the movie last night I realised why I didn't go to see it at the cinema during the summer for starters the plot for me could get confusing but I got there in the end. Rebecca Hall was the star and she managed to keep the plot moving even when I didn't understand what was going on sometimes overall not bad movie but could have been better

Mystery fail due to film media
Sometimes book to film adaptations work sometimes there a disaster this fell in the in-between. Whilst the film followed the story premise it wasn't that captivating and I think the reasons because it it doesn't work as well in the film medium. In the book the first accident is heightened and where all left guessing the events but are that much more involved because we know what she shouts before the accident we wonder why she shouts it int he film they cant do that because you would see what responsible. I dont think it was the film makers fault just that the suspense that made the book just doesn't transfer over. I mean as a teenager chick flick its okay but the books is deep powerful and meaningful and enraptures you in this mystery of teenage life and leaves you wondering the meaning why she yell what she does. The film doesn't

Oompa Loompas with snarky little songs, Veruca Salt and her 'special' song involving the Egg-dicator, the candy garden, the Hsawaknow (it's Wonkawash spelled backward LOL), the candy store owner, and the elevator that goes everywhere. (0 more)
The boat ride, which is quite unsettling! The Fizzy Lifting Drinks. (0 more)
Mostly good, a little bad, and some distinctly ugly...
This is, overall, a very good movie. It's a little bit jarring now to see how over the top some of the behavior is, but it's fun and the effects are very impressive in many parts, like the Wonkawash scene and the little room with the piano that I still haven't figured out how they accomplished.

Sometimes it seems as if they go out of their way to make sure we know how poor Charley is, and how much better off everyone else is, and how spoiled and entitled they are. It works, especially with the Oompa Loompas to point out how absurd their behavior is, but sometimes it just seems kind of much.

The road to the ending is hard, but well worth it.

A nice read,
Favourite quote...

“When women read romance books, one of two things generally happen.” Mal ran a hand through his lovely locks. “They either want to discuss the book in great depth. And probably, life and your relationship. Now sometimes that’s okay. You reach a higher level of understanding with each other and shit. But sometimes it sucks, pure and simple. You wind up getting bitched at for days because of something the dude in the book did that makes you look bad. But if it’s an awesome book, however, a hot one? Well then … kinky fuckery like you wouldn’t believe, man. The ideas Pumpkin has gotten out of some of those books. Gold. I could never have talked her into trying half of that stuff.” “Huh.” “Trust me, never mock a romance book,” said Mal with all the zest of a manic street preacher. “You have no idea the amount of good they can do for you between the sheets and on the streets. If you love your girl? Buy her books.”

I liked this book. The plot was good, and I loved the characters. I had a soft spot for Storm the most. The characters seem fleshed out enough to be enjoyable even if Leila is a little over the top emotionally.

The writing and dialogue was confusing sometimes, but it didn’t happen often or at critical times, so it didn’t really take away from the story. The editing could have been a bit better. There were question marks where periods should have been. Sometimes there were periods after only one word as if it was a mistake.

The ending does seem a little rushed in trying to tie up loose ends, but it does answer some questions although I still have one unanswered question about Maria which I won’t get into due to spoilers.

All in all, this is a good read. I enjoyed it. For the most part, it was a well written story. I would definitely recommend it.

(I received a copy of this book for free through a Goodreads giveaway).
