A beautifully written, gripping novel from a superbly talented author! I love strong, inspirational messages from God, along with strong cowboys and perfectly chilled heroines. This book has those and more! Definitely worthy of a 4 Star shout out and high recommendations!

I raced through this read - it was gripping and I loved the ending. (0 more)
Some bits were a little sexist for me, and more research was needed (I worked in a psychiatric hospital in the UK and lots of inaccuracies) (0 more)

Amazing Teen thriller
I couldnt put the book down, wanting to know what happens with every page turn. Sometimes got too eager and would have to re-read the page again.

Okay film
Overall a good film but needs a little more explaining it felt like they just jumped into the main film without any intro which it definitely needs.
  
Castle Rock - Season 2
Castle Rock - Season 2
2019 | Horror, Mystery
Excellent series
The second series of Castle Rock is very different to the first, in nearby Salem's Lot. There are clearer links to Stephen King books in this series, including the wonderful revelation in the final moments. Another gripping twisting and turning series.

Movie Favorite

"In black and white, made in 1940 by Sir Carol Reed, who of course also did The Third Man, Odd Man Out, Oliver!, etc. Night Train to Munich is a witty and quite gripping thriller. Intricate and romantic with very amusing performances."

"This is one of the most gripping books I’ve ever read. It’s inspiring to read the evolution of such an iconic figure in American history, and a sharp lesson on always going to the source if you truly want to know a person."

Book Favorite

"If you ask me, Jacobsen is Scandinavia’s best now living novelist. “Child Wonder” is a gripping tale about a boy’s upbringing in Oslo with his single mother. If you read any one of Jacobsen’s novels you’ll become a member of his fan club."
