Does well with a difficult subject
Considering how difficult and complex the subject of this film is, Adam McKay has done a very good job of making this both understandable and entertaining. Yes you do have to think watching this, but they do their best to explain things in a fun manner and it helps that the film is injected with quite a lot of humour. The cast are fantastic and it has a great script. My only criticism is that there are a few bits that are still difficult to understand, and at the end of the day, these guys are the bad guys who profited from the financial crash, and yet you almost find yourself rooting for them.

Only one reference to peppermint, doesn't warrant the name of the movie as a whole
Solid Suburban Mom Vigilante Bad Ass Movie.
This was a good time. It's like Boondock Saints (minus the style) meets Shooter and Alias. Everyone loves it when untouchable bad guys get their comeuppance. We all like watching the take down of corruption. That said I could've used a little more depth of story. It was mostly by the numbers as far as action films go. I went into this one not knowing the basic premise, my wife picked it and I said ok. Had I known the premise I would've seen most of this movie coming. That's not to say it's less enjoyable, just that it's slightly less awesome. (hence the 7)

At many points this movie feels like a Lifetime original movie. The characters consistently make decisions that are beyond stupid, stupidity that can't be reasoned away by the "in-the-moment" fear of the situation. It's like they have no sense of self preservation. They run around screaming out for others when there are bad guys actively looking for them, and don't shoot the person that is trying to kill them when they have them at gunpoint.

I received this book from NetGalley for review.
A thoroughly enjoyable read. The story has a good pace for the designed reader age, not overly complicated and yet still catches you into reading more. The characters are interesting, rounded and entertaining ... even the bad guys had a reason for being so. The cover art is gorgeous and a perfect front page for the story.
I would like to read more of Millie's future adventures with magic.

Beautifully written fantasy
I absolutely love Erin Morgensterns writing, I just don't know how she comes up with these wonderful concepts. I loved the Night Circus but I must say this was even better. The concept was so clever and I really fell in love with the characters even the bad guys. I didn't see the ending coming and finished the book feeling numb.

I loved Dex, his humour and general way of living was very fun reading. He loved to wind people up and do crazy things...LOVED him! Sloane, you certainly grew on me, especially after that little scene around half way through!
I look forward to reading more of you two! And figuring out what this new group of bad guys are after.
P.S. This also made a nice change from the usual M/M Shapeshifter Romances!

Poor sequel
After the last air bender I had high hopes for this series but it just doesn't flow like it. The characters are unlikable and often down right annoying. There is no consistent purpose for the series and what she is trying to do and the bad guys don't ever seen to pose genuine threat. There are are also too many WTF moments wondering why characters do what they do.
