An important part of Greek mythology
This is essential reading for those who want to understand certain cultural references such as Freud and the Oedipus Complex. And as Greek mythology stands, it is an incredibly important part, aside from Oedipus, Antigone is his daughter and all the subsequent sacrifices she had to make due to the curse. It is dark, but intriguing, well worth the read.
A brightly coloured, attractive book for the young reader, this book is aimed at introducing another language early on. Through both familiar and unfamiliar animals the opportunity for little one to hear French spoken and what the word looks like gives the parent a chance to expand the mind into other possibilities. I wish I’d had this a couple of years ago for my daughter.

Who has the patience for this nonsense?
In all honesty I have up on episode 6 or 7. It was too dull and overwrouht and that's taking the subject matter into consideration. I was bored and at a point where I just didn't care who or what contributed to her demise. Not just me but my teenage daughter gave up on it too.

This movie was unique in that the story was told completely through computer, phone, and tv screens. David Kim becomes frantic and desperate when his daughter disappears and begins searching through her computer and phone to find out what happened. As the story unfolds we find out more details and there are many unexpected twists. Very different style from other movies but definitely worth watching.

Emotional
Contains spoilers, click to show
An emotional well written book, the author opens up about the run up to the death of her young daughter who falls ill at the age of three and her life beforehand. She also talks about life after and how her and her family struggled to come to terms with what had happened. I struggled to put the book down and felt emotionally involved whilst reading.

I got through this book in three days- it’s seriously hard to put down! Lisa seems to live a simple life with her daughter, Ava, even if she is a little overprotective and cautious. Soon we find out why and what follows is a thrilling, crazy ride! The perspective changes with each chapter so you get to know background on everyone and what they’re thinking. Great read!

Still cried like a baby
I had read the book before I watched the film with my daughter, so I knew what was coming up, the film is quite similar to the book, but seeing it played out instead of using your imagination gives it a whole new dimension The acting was done with great sensitivity and respect to the nature of the film.

Weird
Contains spoilers, click to show
This movie was what I expected... weird. The song and cinematography were good. The story, however was a strange crazed scientist/baron using human body fluids to stay alive until he can continue his bloodline(purely?)through his daughter. Anyway, it had plenty of creep factor and decent effects(nothing too high end but good). Ok horror flick for a boring rainy day. Worth a watch.
