Book Rating
I read this book before, and I just had an urge to read it again. And I loved it just as much as the first time. It's such a sweet story, a girl has an imaginary friend, he leaves her and then years later when she's an adult comes back into her life and brings joy, happiness and love into her world. How crazy is it that her perfect guy turns out be her imaginary childhood friend? Love really does come in many different forms.

The first three-quarters of this book was brilliant. The scenes were set perfectly, the suspense was building to crazy proportions and my heart was racing at times. The book was let down by it's ending and the introduction of Vic. I wanted there to be a twist, the first one, where we learn of the relationship between Ashley and Mark was good and unexpected, but the second one, the addition of Vic, was poor and ineffective. A pretty good book overall but could've been better.

The first hour of this almost made me want to turn it off, I actually paused it to see how far I was into the movie... Around five minutes later, it seemed to finally start picking up. At first, you think it's a crazy, run of the mill religious cult, but then it's so much more and kind of messed up.
If the first hour had been edited down a little, I would have definitely rated it higher.

I'm going to start on a "blanket theory".
My theory is for the fantasy/fiction genre:
I don't think anyone is legitimately dead unless one of two things happen
1. You see the dead body.
2. Two or more credible characters say that a person is actually dead.
although, there are some (like the futuristic & a few magic sub-genres) that rules 1 & 2 have to be present.
Has anyone else noticed this?
(Horror doesn't apply because they have their own set of crazy rules.)

Crazy true story
The story is so silly you couldn't make it up, but it's actually true. I think I remember it on the news even here in the UK at time vaguely. Based on true events as Tonya Harding is looking to make the Olympic figure skating team. However her husband takes drastic measures to help her.
It's an interesting story with some oddball characters. Margot Robbie is very good. Enjoyable but not a film I would watch over and over.

Odd Thriller
I've put off seeing this for a while as it seems to have mixed reviews. Ambitious perhaps but a film that tries to fit too many genres. The first 2/3 of the film are ok. You think is this going to be a film about a spurred, crazy lover. Or maybe some elaborate conspiracy theory, a romance even. In the final 3rd though it all goes a bit odd and in a direction that didn't fit the rest of the film.
  
Hmm...

I loved how May could take care of herself when she needed to, despite looking like some sort of airhead. I loved the teasing between her and pretty much everyone.

I just felt a little disappointed in the romance. There wasn't enough for my liking. Fair enough she's crazy enough to love as is but I didn't really feel it. They felt more like they should be best buds or something.

I do love the authors use of humour in her books though.
