I have never seen a more impactful show. The actors involved have brought it from something that could've been just mediocre to something that is beyond words. It is spoken to so many people, saved so many lives, and brought so many people from all over the world together. If a show can do that it deserves way more than 10 out of 10. I always will love that show as well as the actors involved Jared, Jensen, Misha, etc.

A modern day 'In Cold Blood'
This is a pretty incredibly written book about a real life murder investigation coinciding with the author's own harrowing experiences. While true crime is now a hot genre, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich has weaved together a humane story, a backdrop of how this horrifying crime occurred not dissimilar to how Truman Capote wrote In Cold Blood. However, her own horrific story parallels the investigation giving the entire novel a whole new dimension. Recommended read indeed.

Good Sfx for the early 80's
Great fantasy adventure
Before Lord of the Rings this was the closest you got to a fantasy/action epic. Had good SFX for the time of filming '83! It has a wide range of characters and creatures as a group come together to rescue a princess. A little surprise it was a pg rating. Younger kids might find it a bit scary. Featuring a young Robbie Coltrane and Liam Neeson.

What isn’t good about this epic movie? (2 more)
So cool to see the whole of marvel come together to fight one mother of a villain.
Funny, action packed, suspenseful, and emotional.
That ending...why?!?!? (1 more)
I left the theater feeling personally victimized by Marvel.
I’m still upset about that ending, but it was a great movie. I already want to torture myself again by going to see it a second time. Thanos really lived up to all the hype, in my opinion.

This is one of the best books to come out of the new canon. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters from the Star Wars universe, and I was glad that he got his own book. Tarkin was raised on a rural, rough planet, and it's definitely a big part of who Tarkin is. Tarkin is also aware of who Darth Vader is, as the Emperor had them working together prior to Anakin turning to the dark side.

I have had this book on mt 'list' for awhile. It was worth the wait. It mixed two of my favorite genres of dystopian and lesbian fiction together. It was well researched and written. The characters were realistic and for the most part likable(there were a few you wanted to slap). The ending could have been better or another book could be written to continue the story. It just left me wanting more which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Who says picture books are just for kids? This is just the cutest thing ever. I have so many more questions festering in my head, some maybe not for young'uns, like how did Octi's parents <i>really</i> meet? Are they still together? How does their home work if one lives in water and the other on land? What does a family reunion look like? If Octi had a sibling, how would he/she look? OMG, I need a sequel!

After an attempt at reading another Margaret Moore book, I'm rather surprised at how much I enjoyed this! The two leads were very well-written and enjoyable together. I especially liked how Becca wasn't your typical run-of-the-mill heroine, and was plain and crippled, but she was also spirited, kind, and smart. The storyline was interesting and fast, and I didn't know it took place during the time of the Plantagenets, which I find extremely interesting whenever I come across it.

Not quite the story I was expecting - the book actually feels like bits of different stories have been randomly pieces together, often meaning things get a bit confusing.

As the story flows along, I also found myself liking the two main characters less and less, to the point of indifference, which makes the twist ending fall a bit flat.

There are some gripping moments along the way and the book is easy to read, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed overall.

I love this series so much. In this book there is so many unexpected twists and an unexpected ending. Spoiler warning: I wasn't expecting Rixon to be the bad guy and Marcie's father to be his vassal. I love the love story between Patch and Nora as well but, when they broke up and the thing's Patch did pissed me off. I was so happy when they got back together in the end.

Would I recommend? Yes, this book had me in aww
