[Toychest] by [Lance Milham] is an excellent debut novel from a young author. The characters are the main part of the story and they keep the plot moving at a good pace. The way he shows that evil people exist everywhere and even good can become evil is subtle. The idea that everything as consequences is throughout this novel. [Milham] has a very creative mind and I look forward to reading more from him.

Oh my goodness! What an awesome book! Zelda Fitzgerald is a fascinating series of contradictions. This book is a work of fiction but it feels so real based on the popular myths of Zelda & Scott. You feel for both of them through the whole book. At times you despise each of them yet, in the next instant, you root for them like it’s no one’s business. What an excellent, entertaining read.

Excellent narration, beautiful story and complex character development, and a surprising twist near the end of the book.

This book deals with some heavy psychological stuff, and really got me thinking. I was very involved in the characters lives and development, and I was very satisfied with the way the story ended. As long as you can handle some slightly intense scenes, any fan of thrillers and psychological stories will enjoy this book!

Excellent comic book show

I absolutely loved this show even though I was sceptical about the cast at first. It was dark, funny and the fight scenes are brutal. I can't wait for the next series.
My only issue was the final episode didn't really push the story on. It was like the writers came up with the cliff hanger and then had to rush to make up the rest of the episode.

Verging between Excellent and Very Good as I did stop what I was doing and actually sat and watched the film. The film goes off on all sorts of tangents which keep you wanting more and keeping the viewer intrigued, you don't get to tie all the pieces together until fairly near the end. Don't expect to watch a film about a corrupt accountant, it is so much more and surprisingly good.

This is the third book in this series by this author. This book is just as amazing as the others. Another excellent romantic suspense story, you won't want to put down. This story is well written, with an engaging story line. The characters are complexed and very interesting. I can't wait for more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

A fascinating story with multiple endings. (3 more)
An excellent blend of genres, including bullet hell, hack and slash, and RPG
Absolutely stunning in 4K
One of the best original soundtracks I have heard in some time.
Gameplay is simple, and very easy to master (2 more)
Each "path" is about 5-6 hours long, discluding side quests.
It is VERY easy to get motion sick.
A perfect cocktail of bullet hell, and hack and slash.

Hmmm a 12 rated "Horror" film?! Yep it doesn't really work, the only scares are predictable jumpy loud noise moments and spooky imagery. It has quite a dark story behind it though, it's just unfortunate that there is a real lack of dialogue with long quiet sections of Daniel Radcliffe walking round a creepy house. The production design is excellent though which adds to the right atmosphere, just not that scary for grown ups.

Excellent adaptation from the original
As a young child, I obsessively watched the Animated movie. Growing up, I have read every adaptation I could get my hands on. This movie did a splendid job of translating the animated film to live action. The development between Belle and the Beast was slower in this version which I loved. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this fairy tale.
