Demi Gods in Disney
I love Disney as a whole Little Mermaid and Beauty and beast are my favorites. I also love mythology so soon as I heard demi god I was this is going to be a much watch film. However whilst I think the plot to this Disney film was possibly one of the best and the side kick where adorable. For me the music let it down normally I leave with song stuck in my head for days the first time I watched this I came out not remembering a single song. :'(

The grandmother in this film was great I loved the line "I'm the village crazy person "

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands
Chelsea Handler | 2004 | Fiction & Poetry

8.3 (6 Ratings)
Book Rating
Chelsea Handler is a crazy lady!! This book starts out with her taking a picture of her parents having sex and ends up with her taking a break from men. In between is a rash of one night stands and partying and tons and tons of drinking. I can't say that I am a Chelsea Handler fan, I may have watched a total of 5 mins of her show on E!, but reading this book makes me want to check it out. If you want to read about an alcoholic sex fiend this is a good read for you. It made me laugh, I could relate to some parts of it as well.

Kelley Armstrong is a cruel, evil woman.

This Fallen Prey takes you on a rollercoaster as Casey tells you all about the day the Council drops a dangerous serial killer into Rockton without any advance warning.

What you get from that point on is a crazy edge of the seat ride as you try and figure out whether he's really what the council have claimed, or if there's something deeper and more complex going on. With betrayals and deaths and twists that just keep you turning the pages, the third book of the Casey Duncan series does not disappoint.

It does leave us with a minor cliffhanger.. and I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!

You can't fault it for the amount of action. And its Dwayne Johnson, so you know they'll be those unexpected funny one liners. Once you get beyond the far fetched storyline, its pretty entertaining. (0 more)
Like most action movies, the story line, not so plausible. (0 more)
Its action-y. Stuff blows up, things fall down, crazy "that could never happen" plot. Is it entertaining? Yes. Would I watch it again on another platform? Probably. Is it going to get added to the 100 movies you must see before you doe? No.

The gist: if you like action movies and ate looking to be entertained for a bit, you won't be sad that you watched this movie.

Woo, okay! So I started reading this in August and it was a mountain. The pages of the book felt like those pages you get in bibles, very paper thin with a sort of glossy feel to it. I personally loved this, though it did make the book seem a lot larger than it actually is.

The story is absolutely crazy, from start to finish. The characters immense. I was and am so scared for the characters. Nobody is safe in this book. There are people who seem to die and then come back later and for me, one of those people is just heartbreaking for me. A few, actually.

All in all, I really enjoyed The Passage.

I felt this book was a bit of a let down. I couldn't get into it for the longest time at all until a little over half way through it. Even then, I wasn't *that* into it.

I also couldn't relate to any of the characters. Mary was too much of a stereotypical goth which really annoyed me. Stereotypes in books drive me crazy especially goth ones. I didn't care what happened to Mary or anyone really.

The plot was a bit boring...trying to get rid of an evil ghost. Even the ending was a bit sudden and disappointing.

This book was just okay. Nothing special. I won't be reading the next book in the series.
  
Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love this series, and this one might be my favorite so far. Each one builds on the story, and the more crazy stuff Mick and Finley get into, the more interesting their lives (and everyone's around them) become. This time, there are werewolves to contend with, and it takes the whole group to protect the town. We meet a ton of new characters, hang out with some regulars, and (finally!) learn more about Uncle George than I ever could've dreamed up on my own.

Can't wait to see what the boys have to go up against next!
