For Old Times' Sake
Hollow Man- is a decent film. I perfer "The Invisible Man" and its remake over this. Kevin Bacon is good in this. Its more sci-fi than horror, but the horror in this is good. The sci-fi is good as well. It is slow for like the first hour. Than it starts getting good.
The plot: After years of experimentation, brilliant but arrogant scientist Sebastian Caine has discovered a way to make matter invisible. Determined to achieve the ultimate breakthrough, Caine pushes his team to move to the next phase - using himself as the subject. The test is a success, but when the process can't be reversed, Caine seems doomed to a future without flesh.
Its okay.

I do love Ethan and Merit and pretty much most of the main characters in this series. I just struggle to get into the books initially. This took me at least 150+ pages before I got to a point where I'd been pulled in completely and didn't want to put it down.
I wasn't so keen on the thing that came between the couple in this. I get Ethan's wanting to protect those he loves but Merit loves you more than pretty much anything, so she can deal with your past. But they worked through their crap and became a stronger couple in the end with a very interesting future in the works.
I'm going to read the remaining books in the series when I get them.

As has been said by numerous other reviewers I am sure, the world building in this book is exquisite! I don't think I've seen the multiple world's idea done quite as well as I have here. It's certainly the most thought out and crafted, and would be hard to beat.
Both the main characters were will defined and their relationship is one I could definitely believe.
The one draw back is the plot reliance on the mcguffin. By the end it definitely had a feel of the Ring from Lord of the Rings, and ultimately I felt it was this that held the book back from being really great.
I look forward to continuing in this world with this charactera in the future.

I buddy read this book with a friend, blindly picking it up on a shopping trip with no prior knowledge of the author, or wattpad honestly. The story was fun, and a great fast paced thriller for spooky season. The writing style was easy to follow, and everything moved pretty quickly, sometimes too quickly, but I'd rather have that than constant slow pauses. I will say the most heart pounding action for me was in the last chapter or two. Things got really good, really fast, just to end as quickly as it started. The ending feels open to a potential sequel, so maybe we'll see more in the future. Overall, great pace, fun story, and an ending that left me shocked and confused. 🤣

Just about everybody's pick for their least-favourite Indiana Jones film, I personally feel the main problem with this was the move away from the religion-based relics of the previous films (The Ark of the Covenant? The Sankara Stones? The Holy Grail) towards science-fiction, with the main driver of the plot being remains recovered from Area 51.
Set in the 1950s, this no longer features Nazis as the main villains, instead moving on to the fear of the Russians ("Better Red than Dead!" as one banner says) that permeated American culture at that time, with an old flame of Indy's making a re-appearance and with Shia LaBeuof's character of Mutt all but set up to take on the role in future.

It was an interesting take on ghost stories, certainly one I've never read before--or that I think I have...though the Charley Davidson series is kinda like it, I guess.
I was drawn in early on and although Alona was a little annoying at the start I have to say she'd grown on me (and Will) by the end. Will was just different from the start, not wanting to be popular and unable to be even if he wanted to with his ability to the see the dead.
The possibility of a romance between these two and moving to college makes me want to read the next one in the series and I'll be hunting it out from somewhere at some point in the future.
