Very engaging story. Good characters. (0 more)
Good plot, lots of twists.
This is the first book i have read by this author but would definitely look out for others. Very easy to keep up with but with unexpected twists which held my attention. Would recommend.

The film starts really well and Ryan Gosling's character is engaging and exciting. However it does go downhill and the momentum slows. until a rather lame ending. I do like the premise of karma catching up with you and the possible consequences of one's actions though.

Great early character development (1 more)
Very minimal awkward teen love scenes
This is how young adult fiction should be done.
Roped in from the beginning. Easy reading without getting boring. Entertaining and engaging, with just the right amount of eye rolls from an adult reader for YA fiction.

Engaging Story
This is a movie that you have to watch multiple times to understand. A very bloody and violent allegory that is both beautiful and intense. The director of this film shines in his creative choices.

It took me nearly a year to finish the audiobook. Kamau is long-winded, pensive and thoughtful. What he is not, is always funny or engaging. Glad I finished it because I feel the world does need his point of view. I remain a semi fan.

1987 | Action, Drama
A Good Eliot Ness origin story based upon the prohibition era.
It's a good Costner vehicle with a strong supporting cast that makes this film engaging, however Sean Connery cannot do an accent of any kind, but this doesn't detract too badly from this fine movie.

Not for me, found it annoying in places. Thankfully it was a quick read. I would have thought this would have been written better from an author that has written quite a few books. I didn't find either of the main characters engaging and quickly became bored.

A very good read, I loved the book and the way it's written. The characters are engaging. Dimitri is a modern day genie and Syd is a one night stand that won't go away. I don't think I've ever read a book about a genie before.
  
Not always engaging, but it does provide material and analysis which is helpful for combating the Jesus of the Jesus Seminar and similar radical contemporary scholars, as well as non-scholars like Dan Brown. As such, I recommend owning it for at least the reference materials.
