Plot of 2nd half pretty stock

Great, comic faithful version of spiderman.

Really enjoyed watching this wise cracking version of spiderman leaping around in an even more comic faithful version than Sam Rami's version. If you liked Spidey's guest appearance in Civil War then you'll like this. Definitely appeals to a younger audience but older comic fans like myself will enjoy watching our childhood heroes come to life. On the downside I did find the Vulture to be a little dull as villains go and the second half of the film was perhaps a little formulaic, with a contrived plot twist, but I still enjoyed the film as a whole. Recommended - if you like super hero films, obviously.

This book I loved. I was so into the book. It surely talks about what life was like once the Civil War ended. The North won. It tell about the south trying to get life back to normal and how they wanted the way it was. This book show you of how some slaves were treated during this time.

It tell a story about slave were once they were treated. There another story though as well but it I do not want to give way much. If you enjoy Historical fiction or Histoy of America this is really a good book to read. If you do not read Historical Fiction, I still recommend it you for it something to read and different then your your normal genre. You choose for yourself.

This book is really good. I loved it from the beginning. You will be reminded of a book from the other series that you may think that it connected to it. It was really intruding. You will learn how to deal with some really serious issues.

The issues are a various of different things. One person in this book can show how they deal with geif and it not all good. You get to experience some things going on Trail as well. I would recommend this book to any one that likes historical fiction, a bit of civil war era, romance.

Though I am not going to make you decide I will let you decide for yourself if you want to read it or not and rate for yourself.

Earnestly worthy (or possibly worthily earnest) bio-pic. Harriet Tubman escapes from slavery, helps many others do the same, makes many stirring speeches while music swells behind her, and receives the odd vision courtesy of God (or may just have seizures as a consequence of brain damage).

A powerful performance from Erivo, and the film initially manages to bring the horrors of slavery to vivid life in a way that even 12 Years a Slave didn't quite manage, as well as presenting a more complex view of life in the slave states before the American civil war. But the story soon becomes a bit disjointed and repetitive, and by the end it has turned into a rather clunky melodrama only partly redeemed by reasonable performances and production values.
