This was exactly like the novel. I am so happy with this graphic novel! The artwork is amazing. The scenes that made me cry in the book were so excellent. I loved the relationships between the characters. Seeing them all together again made my heart hurt, but it was a good kind of hurt. So much love for these books!

Lady Georgiana has been ask to host a visiting princess. But trouble seems to follow them wherever they go. And that's before the body shows up. This book is part comedy and part mystery and I thought they were mixed together perfectly.

Interesting writing style
Unique
The style this book is written in is so interesting. A mixture of video logs, files, images, and chat logs work together to draw the reader in - as if they were actually reading a file of evidence. Fast paced and dramatic! The emotion of the moment is seen very well through text effects and style.

keeping all the same characters
Not as good, but still good
If the first one was meta, this movie is ultra meta. Not as good as the first Boondock Saints but still a fantastic film. I really loved the way that they threaded several of the plot lines together. It was truly an enjoyable film.

I feel like this should have been funnier considering who the leads are. Don't get me wrong, Aniston and Sandler are great together, and there are some truly funny moments, but I wanted to be able to laugh more than I actually did. The actual "murder mystery" was just intriguing enough to keep it going. Overall a bit disappointing, but not terrible.

Eligh rocks with his mum
This allbum shouldn't work but it does. Eligh is a rapper, his mum is a folk singer. They create these amazing songs together and it just works. I honestly don't know what to say more than that. Just try it, it's unique.

I was pleasantly surprised by this series and hope to see a continuation of it. It was constantly intense and unexpected. Even in the moments of supposed calm, there is a palpable tension in every action taken by the characters. The way it follows the different characters on their journey through the horror and how their stories link together was really interesting.

This is a very interesting partner (4 player) strategy game. Not always a good idea to be passive in this one. The randomness in teams to start is interesting as well. Some of the pieces work together well and some are mehh. Overall I have enjoyed the few times I have played even on the losing end. Learning each game.

It's a very unlikely pairing that works really well.
Ferrell is back to his funny self here which has been missing of late, I'm looking at you Sherlock Holmes...
Forced to work together they are hilarious and with Cameos from The Rock and Sam Jackson this was a comedy that somehow made it under the radar...I'm a peacock and I gotta fly..

I really enjoyed this film from beginning to end yes some bits were far fetched but it was fast paced and easy to watch the car chases are well thought out and yes impossible but just enjoy it (1 more)
I think that one of the good things about this film is that there are multiple stories going on that all merge together as one
