Well, this book has everything I like, vampires, mages, werewolves, Demons and much much more, I absolutly love Sabina Kane, she has attidude and underneath that really tough exterior she has a really soft heart that I thoroughly enjoyed finding out through the 3 books (Mage in Black, Green-eyed Demon) and I cannot wait for the fourth book as i'm sure it will be even better the the first 3 as with each book we see more of who Sabina Kane really is and she gets even more interesting :)

What's interesting is reading this book at 33, feeling not nearly as intelligent or gifted as I did growing up, I could connect with the characters. While Colin is 17/18 in this book, he's going through the same questions as I am/have. The last chapter is really where it all comes together for me. I will read it again along with the appendix because there's a lot of meaning in it, more than can be absorbed in a quick read.

This is my first John Green book. I enjoyed the writing style and will definitely read more in the future. I recommend this book for anyone undergoing an identity crisis to resolve who they were or thought they were with who they are.

Rescue food that would go in the bin (0 more)

Brilliant idea for an app
The concept of this app is awesome. Every single day shops and restaurants throw out perfectly good food just because it needed eating that day and can't be sold the following day so into the bin it closes. Just think, that curry restaurant you adore may be throwing out a whole pan full of delicious curry that you would have eaten. The local sandwich shop will bin your favourite mustard sandwich because tomorrow the bread will be stake but today they are good to eat.

What this app does is let restaurants and shops sign up to Karna. A Thai restaurant may be selling a big pan of curry for five days but on the fifth day that needs eating it it will be thrown out. The restaurant will list Thai Green Curry on Karma for remarkably less money and so you save money and the earth at the same time.

Cool huh!

Seeking Revenge
Upgrade- directed by Liegh Whannell was a excellent, fantasic movie. Than combines sci-fi, action and horror into one movie. Think Robocop, Dredd and Terminator all combine into one movie with the horror espect.

The plot: A brutal mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed in the hospital and his beloved wife dead. A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure -- an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility -- skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life.

If you like seek revenge movies like Dredd and Robocop than you will love this movie. Logan Marshall-Green is excellent and Leigh Whannell does a excellent job directing.

A strong move in the right direction
A brighter and more humorous movie (compared to B v S which I also enjoyed) For me it did the job of putting a smile on my face throughout most of the movie. I still wish Green Lantern was properly in the mix but I know the Green Lantern Corps movie is upcoming. I've waited for this movie to be made since I was a kid and while it's a long way from perfect, it's fun to watch and watching Batman interactions with heroes new to the screen was always going to be exciting for me
The CGI was pretty poor in places and the story workman like,but like I said before I had a smile on my face a lot of the time. To me it was a good movie,just wish I could be writing that it was great. Hopefully we will still get to see the hero's in a movie truly worthy of their comic book counterparts

One more time for George and Wes
So ten years after making the famed indie film Hatchet, Adam Green unleashes slasher icon Kane Hodder in full killer costume as Victor Crowley.
Made in secret by Green and his crew from Ariescope Pictures, the film picks up ten years after the final movie(Hatchet 3).
I am not a spoiler, not in the true spoiler sense, but what follows is 83 minutes of pure slasher gore and some pretty decent comedy.
ONCE more people have seen it I will go more into detail for my review. All I can tell you is Victor Crowley is a movie made purely and soley for fans of the slasher genre. The kils are quick and undoubtedly painful. And along the way a few of Victors favorite tools come out to play.
So... In closing I have to say buy this film. Support the indie genre. Don't stream it or download it. Actually pay for it. It's worth its weight in blood.

I absolutely loved this book, I read a lot and I have only ever cried once (The Green Mile) but Stephenie Meyer made me laugh, cry, get angry and annoyed.
The characters are relatable and complex and the plot is great and imagination that went into this is astounding.
I was reading a few comments about the book on here and it seems to me that most people seem not to like this book out of some preconceived opinion because they did not like the ending of Twilight.
I happened to love the ending of the Twilight saga, I think it fitted the story but even if I didn't you always start reading a new book with a fresh open mind.
If you start reading a book thinking i'm gonna hate it, then you will hate it.
I will be recommending this book :)

I was really looking forward to The Child Left in the Dark. And I wasn’t disappointed.

Set 6 months after the last book (The Girl with the Green Eyes) ended, and Ariana is angry and confused. Bella is working with Lychen just to keep Ariana safe, although Ariana neither knows nor understands this.

There’s great writing, an exciting plot and gruesome creatures. There’s a whole thing going on about ethics around the tweaking of DNA and neurology.

You will have to read the first book to fully understand what’s going on, but you won’t regret it. I’m eagerly waiting for the final part of this trilogy now!
