Do these people read the books
When it comes to the books. I love this series till Alligent. First book amazing premise, Second Book good but predictable Third well don't talk about it rushed and fractured and tried to hard to be clever and ended up failing. However this is a film review

Divergent movie first half was close to book second half changed for Hollywood glam
Insurgent film Just went for Hollywood glam and through a lot of the plot out the window if you want a action movie don't give it the same name as a book if your not going to keep the premise.

The characters feel real, like people you would pass in the street. (0 more)

'Tender and tragic, set against the turbulent backdrop of wartime Britain'
This is my absolute favourite book, so I'm likely to be biased. The characters feel like real people, and their experiences and thoughts feel as palpable as your own. Let this book sweep you through love and heartbreak, enveloped by war-torn 40s London. The unusual plot layout of this book (moving backwards through time, starting at the end and finishing at the start) may be confusing at the first read, but provides dramatic irony which is integral to the book's brilliance.

First off, I'm not sure what category this book is supposed to be. It is a Mystery/Fantasy but for me personally it was also borderline Horror. As an arachnophobe, it was incredibly hard for me to keep reading when the descriptions of the spiders were so good. Believe me when I say I had no idea that this book involved spiders or I would not have downloaded it in the first place.

Saying that, it would have been my loss. This book is incredibly well written, with twists and turns aplenty, love and betrayal, trust, honour - it's all here.

It has been compared to DUNES which may help you to decide if you want to read it.

Apologies for the influx in reviews but I'm bored and thinking.
 
Overall I like this series I love it in fact and couldn't put the first few books down.

But Evelyn oh, Evelyn (Sorry for possible misspellings)

The book prior to this she was cold, hard and I suppose she had reason to be.

It was still enjoyable.

This book was even more so at first.

But the twist near the end really tore me from this beautifully constructed, utterly engaging world.

I think I prefer America's journey to hers but I still recommend the series

Movie Favorite Watch

"It comes down to my specific brand of comedy – I really enjoy comedy that takes things to different places. Best in Show had already been out when I saw it, and it was the first improv sketch film I saw – it was my first mockumentary. And I noticed that the way that they do it is just so amazing. I was in love with Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, who are amazing in A Mighty Wind as well. But Best in Show is so good because it was so evocative of a time and a place, this dog show that goes on, and I’d never seen, like I said, a mockumentary, I’d never seen improv."

Album Favorite

"I'm especially partial to this one because it has the song 'First Born', which is actually not about me specifically, it's about all first-born sons. But nonetheless, I identify it as my kind of jewel to wear – I share that position with Jesus and Moses, there are a few of us. And it's funny: we did the Christmas shows recently in London and Sophie Ellis-Bextor sang that song, and as I was doing back-up, I was once again reminded of how lucky I was to receive such attention, care and unabashed love from my mother. Without that song, and that album, I don't think I'd be who I am today as an artist."
