DNF @ 62%

I struggled with this from early on, it didn't drag me in and tempt me with a good romance or gripping storyline. In fact, up to this point in the story nothing much has happened.

She'd just found out she'd gone from having nothing to pretty much having everything...and I didn't care one bit. That was my cue to give up.

I think with all the good rating I expected it to be better but nah, not for me.

Watched all episodes in one go - it was that mindblowing
I wondered what all the hype was about until I started watching this gripping true crime documentary series on Netflix. After the first episode, where it seems like a slightly average episode about the death of a nun, I did think what the deal was, until the second episode and literally shouted at the TV screen. The claims are explosive and jaw dropping. If you loved Making A Murderer, then this is definitely worth a watch.

quite predictable
A good super hero movie, but not too gripping
I love DC, which unfortunately makes this movie a difficult one to watch. It was a nice movie, but did not give the character any real justice. The story is not well formed, and sort of seem like it was just thrown together. Overall it is a fun movie to watch, but probably best to have it as a movie in the background to enjoy it.

This collection has 4 wonderful full-length novels. Each one has a character that has appeared before and all these can be read as a standalone also. The author is truly gifted and she describes love in a beautiful clean way. Her stories are all intriguing and gripping. The characters are well developed and have appeared previously which is lovely to see and follow.
I highly recommend these to be read.
I received the box set from the novelist herself but this is my honest opinion.

this is a fantastic read, really gripping. the author is able to produce swoon worthy men for all her books, and this one does not disappoint. she also writes a kick ass leading lady into the mix which together they produce a fantastic story line. this book contains hot steamy scenes, romance and plenty of drama which move the story on perfectly. the chemistry between the main characters is electric. I would definitely recommend this book to others

Gripping remake lets it's Scandi roots show.
Contains spoilers, click to show
A truly excellent thriller, this U.S. remake of a Norwegian film retains the feel of it's Scandinavian genesis.
Tense, twitchy and enthralling with fantastic performances, potent settings, and a great script and direction.

Pacino plays an L.A. cop hiding from his own guilt while investigating the death of a girl in Alaska.
Robin Williams is chillingly convincing as the manipulative bad man, proving yet again that he was a masterful actor as well as a gifted comedian.

Gripping plot
One you'll never forget
The Passage and the rest of the trilogy are some of the most fantastic books I've read. Continuous adrenalin rush, heart breaking and impossible to put down. Thoroughly enjoyed every sentence. Fantastic use of description, timing and suspense to build incredible pictures and I read as the whole plot unraveled slowly with so many layers.
I recommend to everyone I know who enjoys reading and even those that don't, a fantastic book to get them started. Well done Cronin!

Stephen King depicts mania in its extreme in this gripping short novel (0 more)
It can drag on at points and, true to King's style, he draws out his metaphors excessively, beating them within an Inch of their lives. Enough with the piling! (0 more)
I'm your biggest fan!
I love this book. Stephen King moves keeps you on your toes wondering how, or if, the protagonist is going to get out of his predicament. His depiction of Annie Wilkes is reminiscent of fan mania you see in every day life!
