the only piece of bad news, this is simply that: it’s all over.Unlike Star Wars, there is no original creator who we can look to come up with more and more episodes of a well-loved tale. J.R.R.Tolkien is dead, and with him the Fellowship died too.

I liked this book, but not as much as the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Some of the main characters from that series do carry over into this new series. The story is based at Camp Half-Blood, but I wasn't as hooked into the plot as I was with the other series. That being said I will continue to read the forthcoming books in the series so I guess it wasn't that bad.

Awesome
There is nothing bad I can say about this game. It is the most emotional, thought-provoking, entertaining game around. I am a 30 year old man and it made me feel like a 15 year old girl. So many emotions and so much fun. I enjoyed it so much and am currently on my second play through, while playing Before the Storm, the prequel that was just released.

A contemplative zombie movie
It's been a long time since a 28 Days Later style zombie movie was out. It's more thought-provoking than an all out gorefest. The movie is watchable, although not my favourite genre. However, the acting was a little clunky. Only the slightly more polished actors Glenn Close and Paddy Considine really made a difference. Gemma Arterton is a pretty bad actress, she seemed robotic the entire time.

It's early nineteenth century and you have an unusual case that Scotland Yard is just not getting anywhere with. So who are you going to call!? Sherlock Holmes. What? No. Boswell and Flynn! I love when oddball characters who in theory should never work blend so well together and have crazy adventures. A suicidal alien, a hooker, and a cowboy there is a bad joke somewhere in that but, I'll leave it be.

I love how different this book is. It left me turning pages and wanting more because I hadn't seen anything quite like this yet. The main character is such a bad a** and I never once found her dull. While there is romance, this isn't a sappy love story. (0 more)
This is purely commercial fiction, not literary. That's perfectly fine, but that simply means it's not art. Just something to read for fun. (0 more)
A unique read!

An ok horror comedy, with a made for TV feel to it. It's pretty much a copy of the cult classic Fright Night, but this time with a Werewolf in place of a Vampire. This time round it's a girl (Nina Dobrev from Vampire diaries) who has to fight the new neighbour. Not a bad werewolf costume but this is far from scary and not that funny. It's not a patch on Fright Night.

This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is an enemies to lovers story. This book is full of lots of steam and drama. The fake fiance story line was quite entertaining in parts. I enjoyed the characters, the confident women mixed with the bad boy. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

this is the second book ive read from this author and it was just as good. this is a well written book with a fab story line. this book is a fast paced romance story. the characters are fab and work really well through out the story. the only bad point is that it is so short, would have loved it to be longer.
highly recommended

So I love watching superhero movies. Funny thing about them though, they all claim the same "rule number 1" which is "protect your identity". What's the first thing that ALWAYS happens? The hero screws up and the bad guy knows who they are, where they live, their family, who their best friend is etc etc etc... I mean, I'd love to see one where that doesn't happen. Am I alone in this? Just curious.

It's definitely still a major part of most Spiderman films, and is way overused in Batman films.

It's just efficient (not necessarily imaginative) storytelling. The Spider-Man films in particular have gone big-time for this 'personal connection between Peter Parker and the villain' idea, more than is really credible, and this is probably a factor too.

What strikes me is the number of these films which centre on 'clean energy production' as a plot device.
