Well, I did it. I officially finished rereading all the Harry Potter books before July 31st, 2016.

Honestly, I don't know what to say about this book that hasn't already been said. This is beautiful, haunting, and it definitely brings back all of my emotions. This is simply one of the best series I have ever read & worth the time.

This will ALWAYS be one of my favorite series.

So, I finally can say that I finished the series. I have to say, I was unimpressed with the last two in the Divergent series so I didn't have high hopes for this one.

I surprisingly liked this book. I forgot how much I liked Four & it was interesting to learn more about him as a character. The writing was good and I enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook.

This is the sixth book in the series and the storylines and mysteries continue to develop.

We are starting to see more of a global view of the Talented. As well as discovering more about the creation drug and it’s effects.

I am still a bit lost as to how this series is going to go which is good, there seems to be a lot of characters and possibilities at play.

I had the advantage of not having read this book, so I was able to go into the series with completely fresh eyes, and I enjoyed it very much. David Tennant is a terrific demon. Michael Sheen has some truly funny moments. I could have used more Jon Hamm. "I'm the archangel fucking Gabriel" was one of my favorite lines of the entire series. Overall a fun show!

I'm debating whether to get Prime just to watch this! Glad to hear it's good!

Ok, but not the most thrilling.
As a huge fan of John le Carré, and have enjoyed many other film/TV adaptations of his work, I couldn't wait for this one!

Unfortunately, on screen it felt particularly dull. Series like The Night Manager, and even the early TV adaptations featuring Sir Alec Guinness, this series failed to capture the mix of excitement and suspense the book provides.

Really enjoyed, characters are in depth and believable.
I know the plot of most low fantasy doesn't end up going where you think it will but I really loved this and all of the first law series + it's spin offs ( can't wait for the next series!!)
I would also recommend getting on audio book as S Pacey does a great job of bringing all the characters to life!

This series is so good. I am a big sci-fi fan and this has all the things that are great about science fiction. I love the book series that the show is based on and the show does a fantastic job of staying as true to the books as possible. I just finished season 4 and it is amazing in the storytelling and the cast is fantastic.

A satisfying conclusion to the beloved characters that we have followed for so long. I was not disappointed... Except to say I wanted more... (0 more)
The concluding book in the epic Dark Tower series.

I never used to be a reader... And then I picked up The Gunslinger.

This completion did not disappoint and I have picked the series up again and again... And will continue to do so.

This is probably my favourite book of the series so far.
 
Rachel outdid herself getting out of Al's clutches, the Kisten thing has made me happy, I like Trent now, can't remember if I ever really liked Nick, Jenks...(sigh), Ivy kicking some arse, explosions.
 
It was non-stop action and I really enjoyed it. Will be returning to the series shortly :)
