Great Read
I quite enjoy this comic book series. Although it is written for an audience of teenagers, I seem to like it. The illustrations are amazing and the characters are fun. I would not mind cosplaying Amy in the future. The remake of this comic series is also amazing. (Part of the new 52)

The End is a well paced zombie book. The main characters of Cate and Melody are fairly developed and fit well with the plot. I would like to find out what happens to the characters so I really would like to see a sequel.. I think the characters, especially Cate, can be developed more in future books.

A Relatable Technology-Driven Future
This story has a direction as soon as you jump in. You are with Wade against all odds trying to find the Egg before the Sixers do and inevitably ruin the game and the world. This fast-paced sci-fi adventure belongs on everyone’s to-read list.

Also see the movie, it’s pretty good.

Interesting character study and story told through this family's three different viewpoints during the mother's final weeks (months?) of life. I would have given it a four until the last "chapter" and had to drop my rating as I didn't care for the ending. I will give Holly Brown another go in the future.

Sad to see hugh jackman leave the character.
I thought the movie was well done. Action packed. Excited to see where they take the xmen in the future. Its nice to see returning actors such as Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman

This was an entertaining read. I enjoyed reading it. I will say that I found the writing fairly juvenile but overall enjoyable. The characters were lovable and I constantly cheered them on. I am glad that I didn't pay for this book. It was enjoyable but I will spend my money on different authors in the future.

Loved it
I thought this was an utterly fantastic movie. Watch it with the thought of this could be the near future!
I don't know what genre you would say it is, part comedy, part drama or is it tackling climate change?
Matt's character wallows a bit much but other than that it was a GREAT watch!

It's very long. (0 more)
A scientifically important series of novellas.
The author makes many predictions of future technology which so far have all come true. He predicted the internet, search engines, handheld smartphone devices, GPS, sentient AI, and many other elements of today's society that he couldn't possibly have known about when this book was written.

never happy to see a series end, however, I really felt like these two were left in a happy and good place. I really enjoy mindy's writing style and I look forward to reading some of her other books. Wish we got to know what Lucy or Lynn's future looked like more than we have already however.
