Very unique story
If you haven't watched the film yet then my advice is, don't watch it. Stick to the book. I fortunately read the book first before the film like I do with every movie that's made from a book. The movie changed alot of the characters, very disappointing. The book however, I absolutely loved reading this! I've never read such an imaginative and creative book, and not just the plot either, the way the book is presented and the author went to the effort of creating photographs that could be passed off as real. Very real. I would happily read this again. Can't wait to start on the next book.

Do these people read the books
When it comes to the books. I love this series till Alligent. First book amazing premise, Second Book good but predictable Third well don't talk about it rushed and fractured and tried to hard to be clever and ended up failing. However this is a film review

Divergent movie first half was close to book second half changed for Hollywood glam
Insurgent film Just went for Hollywood glam and through a lot of the plot out the window if you want a action movie don't give it the same name as a book if your not going to keep the premise.

I think I was emotionally stumped in relation to this book. I felt nothing at all. In fact that's a slight lie, the last two or three pages were quite emotional. I think this is something I'd prefer to watch as a film than to read as a book.

Another awesome Stephen King book
I enjoy this book because even though the whole premise of someone who wakes up after being in a coma and finds they are psychic is a bit far fetched.

I found that the bits about Johnny and his mum were a bit long winded compared to the film but in general I thought it was a great film.


Possibly I should have read the book first as the differences between the two did jar a bit. Overall the majority of the film was true to the novel.

Over the top action film as He-Man and his fighters end up on earth as Skeletor searches for a key to make him all powerful. Not bad for an 80's comic book action film. Worth a watch for grown up fans.
