This debut is slow and somewhat predictable. The only “twist” takes place halfway through the novel and doesn’t really make up for the sluggish pace of the story. It delves somewhat superficially into the lives and thoughts of the characters but not enough to really make us invested in them. It is not a bad novel but I had hoped for better.

My absolute favourite series at the moment! Despite the dystopian setting it is scary how real the problems portrayed can seem and how possible the world feels! This is the only time I will probably ever say this but I much prefer the TV series than the book, not to say it’s a bad book, but that the show is that’s good!

There's nothing overly bad about this book, I've given it a lower rating as it took me ages to get through and had to start it twice to get into it. The world is amazing, the whole shape shifter tribe thing is awesome. I loved the 2 main characters and it ended brilliantly.

Questions, questions. Where's Evan? What happened to the camp? Ben and Cassie? Cassie and Evan? Will anyone get their real name back? Where are they going?

A gripping read with a scifi and dystopian feel. I had no idea cover to cover who to trust, who were good guys and bad guys. So much potential going into the next book.

I don't think this movie was as bad as people say. I quite liked the fantasy side added to the Tom Raider kind of feeling. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't expect to see some of the characters we encounter in the movie....AT ALL. But still, if you're into fantasy / Egyptology / Myths, I think you could give this a go.

Ruined By The Weather
A brilliant podcast unfortunately completely ruined by the inclusion of the 'weather' segment, which seems to consist of dreadfully bad music. Everything else in this podcast is fantastic - well written, well acted, well produced, very funny, an engrossing storyline, and wonderfully imaginative - but the 'weather' was just too much to bear.
  
I am not a big romance novel reader, especially Harlequin Romance, but this story was good. The inspiration series was not that bad. I liked the story a lot. Seemed more real, seemed like the guy was respectful of woman and treated them with respect and kindness instead of dragging them off to who knows where and take advantage of them.

This is my favourite app.
I am never off it. Easy to use and navigate.
You can change the font size which is great if you have bad eyes.
You can highlight your favourite sections.
At the end of the book you can add a review. And also recommendations for new books.
I don't think I would change anything on this app.

Weak
Well, the acting and the cinematography weren't too bad in this one, but the story was weak. There wasn't much "scary" about this horror film. While a bit of it was predictable and seemed familiar(though I can't place my finger on it). If you're really, really bored this one could be an ok time waster, but otherwise NOT worth a watch.

Just watched not good but not bad still prefer the original anyday over this just not the same without Tommy Lee Jones and will smith. Nice to see the worm guys get a cameo there were some laughs to be had but that was about it for me
