Good
The book is my least favorite in the series. I actually started with Chamber of Secrets and came back to this one after I finished the first few books.
It's not terrible, and I would recommend it, because it gets better as the book goes on. The characters are likable, even the ones you love to hate.

Multiple perspectives done right
I have loved this debut book from author Riley Redgate for years. It was the first time I had ever seen a pan character in a book and that really helped me during my coming out process. It also tackles something I love about books, mixed perspective. Seven different narrators that all have different vices and lives and secrets.

Pretty Epic
When I first started GOT I had already binge watched the show. I was hoping for answers. I got answers and more! If you love the show the books are even better. However they start a little slow to get into. Once you do its worth it though.

My absolute favorite book and book series. I first read this book when I was about 12 and fell in love with all the characters and avonlea. Anne an orphan girl goes to live with a brother and sister marilla and Matthew Cuthbert and it is all about Anne's adventures in her new home and the trials and tribulations of growing up.
  
Superman Returns (2006)
Superman Returns (2006)
2006 | Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
The reason I scored this movie so high is as an avid fan I saw so much potential for Brandon as Superman. The first quarter and last quarter of the movie was action packed and amazing. However this movie was let down during the middle half. It ruined the flow of the movie. Overall I did genuinely love this movie.

Book Rating
I picked up this book as a film version is coming out and I must admit, I'll probably watch it at some point. The love story itself for this novel is serviceable, but I could predict the entire plot within the first 20 pages and, at times, actually found myself cringing and rolling my eyes as I was reading certain lines. Not fun.

Meredith sucks you in the within the first few pages. I bought the entire book series before I was halfway through the 1st book. I fell in love with romance novels after reading this series. (0 more)

Great Series Opener
The heat between Erica and Blake is great. The plot is similar to 50 Shades, but it kept me on my toes.

The first 30-45 minutes of Nicole Kidman's performance (0 more)
This is one of my favorite musicals, and I absolutely love Ewan McGregor. The modern music was well done and melded into the film. The visuals are stunning.
However, Kidman's performance in the scenes in the beginning, in the elephant are some of the most annoying that I've ever had to watch.

Tara (0 more)
I began watching this show with zero expectations. It's not typically a show I would watch, but it did hook me within the first couple episodes. The one negative complaint I have is the completely boring character of Tara. I think Hunnam does a good job as Jax, and I love Ron Perlman in everything, so those were two high points.
