Obsessed with anything/everything Barsugo touches
I won this book from a smashbox give away, and I was SO EXCITED. when it showed up it was a hardcover and not a paper back and the story line is so much better than I thought. I love the Grishaverse and how we are getting back with the characters from the original trilogy.

OMG I loved this book so much!
This series is like the Hunger Games combined with Jurassic Park! Its an easy smooth read with interesting characters, action and the whole package! I would recommend this to any YA fan that wants a new unputdownable trilogy... I will warn you though that when you finish the series it will break you!!

Almost amazing
The end of the Unbreakable trilogy was almost amazing, though left a lot of new questions unanswered. The story was decent, and the telling was mostly ideal. There were some timing issues which pulled the audience out of suspended disbelief.
  
In the second book of the Peter Pan prequel trilogy, Peter heads to London to try to warn Molly that someone is searching for the star stuff. It was a bit long winded at time, but it was still a fun read.

The dragon returns home to find his entire family has been captured and he turns to Elmer for help in rescuing them. The trilogy winds down with a final fun tale about these unlikely allies using creativity against overwhelming odds.

One of Douglas Adams best
So I will admit that Douglas Adams work can take getting used to but if you like his style of confusing then you will love this. The trilogy in 5 parts is the general term for it, and it describes the fantastical world held with in these pages brilliantly

Somewhat of an enjoyable watch but an ageing Ford and an unnecessary sequel do not mix and this is a poor relation to the original trilogy.
 The film is very clunky dialogue wise and although full of action it still feels a little disjointed in places.
Harrison Ford is a great actor, however the character should have been retired some time back.

Fast paced story, likeable characters, not too technical (0 more)
It ended too soon....I wanted more (0 more)
Downloaded this as a free book to try something different and binged the whole trilogy in 2 days! The story has likeable characters and is fast paced. It is not too fantastical as some time travel books can be and the language wasn't too scientific or technical.

I was very late to the party in reading this book and trilogy and all I can ask is why did I not read it before? This was outstanding, and I adored the characters, it does make you really try to choose who Katniss should be with in the love triangle and I could not recommend it more.
  

"I know this is Joseph Campbell for Girls, but when you remember that the Star Wars Trilogy started the popular version of Campbell’s hero’s journey, and that women other than Princess Leia speak for 63 SECONDS of the films’ 386 MINUTES, then, boy oh boy, do we need this great, smart, empowering womanopedia of myth and what to do with it."
