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.

Not what I was expecting - but ok read
I did finish and enjoy this book to an extent. I read it as it's been raved about on social media and I don't think it deserved the hype. Was Good, but I skipped a lot of unnecessary detail and the end was disappointing

We got a bit better here - I even took a photo of one of the pages because it was SO insanely true to my life it's not even funny. I think Rin is again growing up a bit too fast - even though she's truly not - her capacity for things is totally above her years - I don't mind her now caregiver at all but I do think he's a giant child - again, it's interesting to see what is inside their heads

Incredibly cute
I'm a fan of the books but the film delivered in a way I couldn't have expected. This was mostly because the casting of the two main characters was perfection. The casting of Josh felt a slightly poorer fit. The Song Sisters really came into their own in terms of family bonds and difficulties. Peter Kovinsky and the actor brought the movie totally to life and I experienced true escapism watching this. I cannot wait for the next instalment.

A very good film with some young English actors. I'm not sure if this was a film made for TV but it has that feel to it. It's raw, gritty and brutal showing the life of a group of teenagers in West London. Unfortunately some scenes are quite true to what is going on with inner city teenagers today and the gang culture. Fades a little towards the end but still a good watch.......now to see the sequel Adulthood.
