Movie Favorite

"Blade Runner is also one of my favorites. I love film noir movies, and that was just a new way of doing it. Set in the future, made up worlds. It’s just a straight up great movie; everything fell into place, which is just rare for things to happen that way. How everything came together, the artistry that went into it, the design, the music, and how resilient the story is, how you can just keep making new versions of it, and they all still kind of work. [laughs] When you can just keep remaking the same movie with the same footage and just kind of tweak it a little bit…"

I was easily drawn into this from the first page, it made me laugh throughout and I liked both Stephanie and Morelli.

I don't think I would have figured out who was behind it all, at all, but I always knew there was something a little iffy about the person.

I'd be interested in continuing the series as I have visions of Stephanie and Morelli getting it on at some point in the future.

To save me buying the next God knows how many books in this series I'm really thinking of joining my local library, since it's more or less just down the road.

I actually kinda l liked this...a lot.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this. Things to do with prison put me off a bit put this was written in a way so that we only really saw how it affected our boys' relationship.

That bit when he was talking about when he got out and Xavier kissed him hard, I was all sad like, and it was obvious to me then that emotions had become involved over the year.

I'm happy our boys got together in the end and I wouldn't mind reading more of this series at some point in the future.

3.5 stars.

I really liked the first two books in this series but it has been a while since I read them so my tastes have changed a little.

This started a little too slowly for me. Never the less, after it reached the 45% mark I did start to get reeled in by the story and the characters.

I wanted Raj and Sarah to get together.

I wanted to figure out who was taking the girls and why.<br/>I wanted Raj to become Master.

That ending also has me intrigued, so I will be reading book 4 at some point in the future.

I haven't read a dystopian story in quite a while so this was a nice change. And I actually quite liked it. The storyline wasn't something I'd read before and I was intrigued how it would play out.

I was really into it until about 70% when it went a little awry for me. Aiden vanished from Keith's life for a while and like Keith I was a little WTF? And then I wasn't totally convinced by the reasoning behind it to start with...but the last 10% or so made up for it.

It was an interesting take on what the future might be like.

Wile E. Coyote takes a cactus to the dick in this butt-ugly 3D gimmick back from when everyone thought slowly, awkwardly mugging real up close to the camera every 15 seconds viewed through a pair of uncomfortable plastic glasses wedged onto your face was the future. A careless rehash of the most basic, overplayed aspects from the Roadrunner cartoons throughout the decades. Like wow, the coyote gets hit with a rocket and crushed by a boulder... haven't seen that one before - but now with the added headache of everything coming way too close to your grill because apparently 3D just can't work any other way. At least it's over quick.
