I’ll begin by saying something quite controversial here that I know a lot of people won’t like:

If it wasn’t for Carrie Hope Fletcher’s YouTube fame, this wouldn’t have been taken on by a publisher. While reading it, I felt that it was more like a self-published title in quality and plot. It’s become a thing for YouTubers to bring out books and I feel like most of these will almost always lack quality. Publishers just take them on to have a bestseller because of the name on the cover.

I did like the plot, don’t get me wrong. It was interesting enough and kept me hooked all the way through. I quite liked Evie’s character and found her quite genuine. I feel that the plot and the characters could have all done well if it wasn’t for the wishy-washy writing style. The style made it seem more like Disney fan-fiction rather than a contemporary novel.

I did enjoy reading this, which is why it still has three stars from me. I binged it and found it quite a fun read. But I just couldn’t get over the bad writing style. The writing style would be more suitable for a YA audience than adult.

There’s no reason you wouldn’t enjoy it. If you’re a big fan of Disney or Carrie, you’d love this and it’s definitely worth seeing what it’s all about.

Continues in similar style
It's not quite as good as the first which had a better villian in my opinion. Still it has plenty of action and great scenes. After seeing the 3rd this is probably the weakest of the 3, but still a highly entertaining film in it's own right.

One of the greats
One of the best Batman movies out there. Michael Keaton is an awesome Bruce Wayne. While it may be a little dated, it has a lot of stay power. With it's well executed sets and costume design, this is a must see.
  
The Usual Suspects (1995)
The Usual Suspects (1995)
1995 | Drama, Mystery
A classic if ever there was, a simple mystery story woven with such style and intricate character development it has you entranced as you attempt to untangle the web of intrigue it builds with great tension, each of the characters is thoroughly unlikeable and stereotypical and the ending is a peach.

A Fantastic Game But Not Without Issues
A fantastic game that gets easily marred by component issues and a play style that can force players to make certain decisions or otherwise lose the game.

I DNF'd this one! The writing style took such a left-turn to the bad I gave-up! I wanted to like this one...I really did!

The first 60 or so pages were great...then it just changed!

Sorry to the author! I really wanted to like this series!

A cool MTV style movie about biker gangs. A bit like Fast and Furious but on 2 wheels instead. It has a cool, young cast, thumping soundtrack and some good chase scenes. Slightly over do the SFX in some scenes getting way beyond reality but overall an enjoyable action film.

It was ok. It could have had a better story line. If you are a batman fan watch it. If you are not a batman fan i would skip it. Basicly batman meets jack the ripper.
Style was good
 voice acting was good
Settimg was good
Story needed to be improved.

A must read.
I honestly enjoyed the entire book. From the style of writing to the top class humour. The stories and events, some hilarious, some heartbreaking, shine a light on how wonderful doctors are and how much hard work and determination it must take to become one.
