The last 30 minutes are unnecessary should have ended right after the cartel base operation Siege sequence
Female Punisher the movie
Overall I didn't hate this movie like most people have I thought it was decent and went out to do what advertised to do which is be an action movie with a Strong badass female lead

This was quite funny but in an extremely silly sort of way. The whole thing felt kinda puerile and shallow.

Aisling amused and annoyed me in equal measure; she behaved ridiculously. Drake came across as an insufferable sleaze. And the supporting cast of characters seriously lacked depth and development.

I did find You Slay Me to be an entertaining read -I certainly didn't hate it -but it far from blew my socks off.

It will definitely make you think.
I read in an English accent which made everything all the more creepy. Jake is not a good guy and he knows this. He doesn't apologize for it either. As he says "live. There is no God and that's His only commandment." This book is full of allusion and references most of which I'm not sure I caught.
This is a love it or hate it book.

Saga is amazing! (I hate using that word, but it is.) The action continually moves, and there is both war and love. The books seem thin, but there is so much packed into each volume that you feel satisfied, yet still hungry after reading one. In volume three, the different characters begin to cross paths. If you're still on the fence about picking this series up, it's time to stop debating. Read this!

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was incredible. The writing is at the same time lyrical and cinematic and absolutely breath-taking.

I was thouroughly invested in Janneke's love/hate relationship with Soren and how she dealt with the effects of her horrendous torture at the hands of a sadist.

Brilliant book.

"For me it is one of the most brilliant Mafia movies. Moreover it's the incarnation of the mythical erotic-romantic-tragic relationship between men and women. Beginning with love and ending with death. Isn't it the best description of this endless men-and-women love-hate system? And it's one of the best films about family as well. The protecting nest as miserable, dark shelter from an even darker existence of solitude."

Very disappointing book. The premise interested me and I was enticed by the blurb of this book. However, I found myself reading pages and pages of Leonie mooning over Patrice which went on far too long. There lacked substance to the explanation behind Patrick's past and I felt the conclusion of the book was empty and hollow. Hate reading books which you keep reading hoping for some twist or redeeming moment which just never appears.

"The cinematography and acting in this film was amazing but I like how Lynne Ramsey made the sound effects and the music so loud. And there's hardly any dialogue so that was really interesting contrast. I usually hate loud soundtracks, because they can't always deliver it well - as if “this music will make this more happening” or something. But this was so intentional that way. I like Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack music. He's really good. "
