No.

no no no no no.

Out of every JP book I've read, this is really pretty bad. Patterson's writing is redundant to the point of saying literally the same sentience multiple times (I counted four). the plot was weak, and I guessed all the "surprises" before I got through the third disk (out of 9).

still exciting, but really not worth your time.

Good moments. But missing greatness.
This movie has a good iconic score. It’s in your face but it’s still good. Some of the acting is bad. Mel’s father is god awful. The scenery is great. Some lines are solid. There were smiles from the dialog. But also I was bored in parts. I loved seeing all these famous faces though.

Weak Premise (0 more)
John Wick is that film that we needed, the action genre has suffered from bad action for years, but this film has some excellent hand to hand action scenes with some exciting moments and little deatails which make this film look great. The only true issue is the premise, it is often weak and it's often forgotten about in the film

Not bad, but probably not the best book to start reading James Bond with, I think. Honestly, I don’t know as I would read any more anyway. This was for my library’s reading challenge (a colour), and at least it was short!
Scaramanga is the villain of this piece, and I have to admit to preferring the film to the book - not something I’ve actually experienced before!!

I loved Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick it was amazing. I was hooked on this book 13 pages in. I loved the story between Patch and Nora. I had a bad feeling about Jules and Elliot from the beginning I knew something was off. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series this book gave me what I like to call "book hyperness" rush.

A so-so very slow paced drama, with quite dark comic moments. A woman bored with her everyday life in a small town embarks on an affair with a colleague. After that it's just one problem after another. It does have the odd comic moment, but overall it can be quite a dreary drama. ok story and cast, very low budget. Not bad overall, far from great!

Very bad sequel
No complains about special effects, because it is an old movie. The movie is watchable, but it is too predictable. We do get to meet a new interesting character - a girl who can solve puzzles, and we also get to see the human side of demons, and that's about it. Everything else is either boring, not scary, or plain stupid.

Not bad at all horror that somehow made it under the radar and shamefully never got a cinema release.
It's very much in the vain of "The Wicker Man" but in my opinion it's superior, with a story filled with dread and genuine shocks that sometimes make it a difficult watch, stick with it though and you are rewarded with a decent addition to the horror genre.
