This gripping and thrilling King adaptation became notorious for one of many gruesome scenes that gave rise to a new definition of the word Stalking.
It's quite Hitchcock like in its execution and the level of suspense is palpable and very dark, Bates chills to the bone as her character mutates from number 1 fan to absolute psycho. Edge of the seat viewing!

Dan Randolph has a dream - cheap power for all delivered via a series of orbital sun-powered 'Powersats' that will beam their energy down to Earth. However this is a huge project and there are any number of things that can go wrong. Dan will need to summon all his resources as a businessman and format astronaut to ensure his brainchild has a future.
This is a pretty solid start to the Grand Tour series of books, which seek to show the reader every corner of the solar system together with a gripping story. The science is accurate and plot is certainly gripping.
However this is a fairly workmanlike book, feeling a lot like Bova was writing with gritted teeth to actually get it finished. As a result it is a good but not great work of fiction.

Fantastic!
This is by far 1 of the best books I've read, it is a book I recommended to everyone especially as it's not 'normally' to my taste.
The style in which it it's written is also brilliant not many writers can pull it off especially at this level!
You will feel that you really know the characters by the end.
A gripping read!

Fantastic show, highly addictive!
The show is awesome, gripping and dark. The characters chemistry and relationships are so believable, especially Norman and his mother, which goes far beyond the normal mother son relationship, which makes for sometimes uncomfortable viewing but still intriguing.
Overall the show is seriously strong; strong cast, storyline and darkness.

Sometimes life isn't quite what you expected. A novel about finding yourself and finding true love.
This is a nice little debut novel about Sophie, a young woman who is torn between her love for her boyfriend and her growing feelings for her best friends sister. Set in Scotland, this novel is tragic, romantic, gripping and sad.

Based on the book by James Patterson
So many twists and turns
One of my favourite Thrillers
A gripping thriller with lots of plot twists and turns. You'll be hooked in minutes. Great Actors with a great well written story. If you love cat and mouse thrillers with the Fbi, profilers trying to unravel the clues, then this is a must watch.

There were a lot of characters but all were pretty well-developed. I liked the way the story was split between many different perspectives. It was gripping story that I got through quickly, especially for the length of the book, but the ending fell very flat. I was so invested in the story that just...ended. Overall, though, I thought it was a good read.
