Storyline's good, the science is feasible, the characters are people you feel like you could probably be friends with. (0 more)
The profanity is bad. Not that it's every other word or sentence, just not to my taste. (0 more)
This was a hilariously fantastic read! The only part I don't care for is the profanity. The science is believable, and he explains it so that those who may not be familiar with the concepts can understand it. It kept me enthralled to the end. This book became one of my favorites!

Very surprisingly I quite enjoyed this?! Yes it's very cheesy, what did you expect? I'm sure most people have panned this just because Britney is in it? It has a TV film feel to it but it's actually a pretty decent road trip film as a group of once close young friends head to L.A. together for different reasons. I thought Britney acted a lot better than I expected and it isn't overloaded with her songs for those who aren't fans of hers. It's not a bad film by any means.

An excellent debut novel. The story had a nice flow and the characters were very believable. I really enjoyed the way the story developed with some twists and turns just like in real life. Jamie is a little like all of us, or if you are one of those perfect people you have a friend like her. She deserves to have good things happen to her and you are overjoyed when it does. You also want to punch anyone who mistreats her. I hope to see a follow up novel soon.

Has anyone noticed any issues tagging users in posts? It most seems to be with users who have very short names or those with spaces in their name.

When I try to tag someone it comes up with the pop up list, but I have to scroll through hundreds of entries for titles, authors & artists before finding who I want to tag. Its fine with people with longer more unique names, but not for everyone else.

Is there a way to bring up users first when tagging before anything else?

Epic ExtraOrdinary Story
I was so in love with the writing, world building, character development. I thought the plot was super creative and very refreshing to read. I love superheroes and the people who write about them or things related to them seem to have to most amazing skills to bring that world to light and this book was no exception I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves those kind of stories. Also, revenge is a side plot and well I always kind of love revenge stories.
  
Not really a book about war, this is more a book about how the experiences of war affect people: in particular, how it affects its main protaganists, primarily told as the memoirs of one of those characters.

While it jumps around a bit - sections with events set before the preceding chapter, then forward again to events after the first section, then back again ... - it is quite an enjoyable read, which pulls no punches when it comes to the horror of th war, both in the trenches and in the air.

Very occasionally, a cast for new productions is incomplete. (0 more)
Where have I seen you before?
I love IMDB. I'm one of those people who recognises an actor on TV and must immediately know where from. So, I'm straight onto IMDB with the name of the production and scanning the cast list - then get lost in looking what else I've seen them in, looking at who else was in a cast with them, looking what else the other cast members have done... it's like a trap! Wouldn't be without it, though.

Contains spoilers, click to show
To begin with its unclear who the guy main character was , then as the story developed there was an intangelment of traumatic experiences. You see how their life's have shaped them through the year and how they became the people they are.
This is one of those books that once you have read it you need to read all the the characters story's.
Oooh and it definitely a romance I want someone to fly half way across to word because they just wanted to kiss me.
