Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession by bestselling historian Alison Weir, author of Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen, is the second captivating novel in the Six Tudor Queens series. An unforgettable portrait of the ambitious woman whose fate we know all too well, but whose true motivations may surprise you. Essential reading for fans of Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Chadwick.
'Offers a spellbinding solution to the mystery of Anne's true nature . . . Enthralling' Sarah Gristwood
The young woman who changed the course of history.
Fresh from the palaces of Burgundy and France, Anne draws attention at the English court, embracing the play of courtly love.
But when the King commands, nothing is ever a game.
Anne has a spirit worthy of a crown - and the crown is what she seeks. At any price.
ANNE BOLEYN. The second of Henry's Queens. Her story.
History tells us why she died. This powerful novel shows her as she lived.
I absolutely love how this author writes! I was hooked from the start with this book. Anne Boleyn is one of those women who started with such good intentions but then became all dark and twisted! I have zero sympathy for how her life played out but found her story totally captivating. This is definitely a series worth reading!

Another marvel netflix show
I actually have seen all 6 marvel netflix shows .this one rocks verry violent gory .but holds true to the comic book from the marines to the streets.i thought they would water the character down like they did with the others .but no verry much like the comic a bloodthirsty insane vigilante .kudos to them they musta learned from iron fist.love it

DeNiro's performance is subtle but intense (3 more)
Brilliantly captures the subsequent decimation of Madoff's family
Well written - keeps you wondering how he got away with it for so long
A relatively dry subject is made to feel accessible and encapsulating
Unnecessary focus on scenes that added very little to the movie (it's already over 2 hours long) (1 more)
Maybe more insight required into Madoff's mental inadequacies?
Fascinating true story of a charming sociopath and how he exploited the mega-rich for billions
Official trailer:
I was very impressed with this book when I read it the first time round and again when we did it with the book group. I think it is based on a true story about a boy and his mother being trapped in one room in a bunker with no means of escape or so they think at the time. with a lot of cunning and effort they eventually manage to escape the room and return to a normal lifestyle or as normal as possible.

Not entirely realistic
Heart grabbing
This book is a really good read, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story which is based on true events and real people. I like how the characters renained hopeful of a future considering their unfortunate situation. However, like others have said I feel like the author down played the intensity of everything, despite this, some parts were still get hard to read. Overall, 9/10. Would read again and recommend.

My absolute favorite
Aaaahhhh this is just one of those that I just was not expecting I'm really not someone who watches loads of war movies but I'll try anything once and boy was I glad I did. The movie is amazing it really is special even in the catagory of war films. The fact that it's based of a true story makes it even better as it appeals to the history loving part of me.

Not the Jumanji of My Younger Years
I typically don't like "reboots" because most of the time it seems to mean "remake". However, Jumanji is a true reboot. It took the basic premise of the original and completely updated the concept for today's audience. I was super excited to see it as I'm a fan of everyone in the cast and they did not disappoint. Their chemistry was amazing their characters kicked ass and were hilarious.

Very rarely do I finish a book and immediately run off to write a review about it, so this should tell you how much I loved this book. As someone who is interested in wrongful convictions, this true story is mind boggling, especially being as the victim and wrongfully convicted become friends in the end. Written in an easy to understand style, this was a book that I could follow because it was not full of legal mumbo jumbo.
I think this book is a must read!

One of the all-time best
I have read a lot of books, but this was by far one of the best ever. This book was nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of book that stays with you - I still revisit it in my mind. I have not stopped telling people about it since I read it... When it first came out!! It's a near-perfect read. And for lovers of nonfiction, this book reads like a remarkable, moving true story.
