Unexpectedly Amazing
Went into the film only hearing mildly good things about the film but otherwise not much anticipation, came out feeling blown away. From a not so terrific idea for a story comes a film that explains the inspirations behind what some may consider the best literary series of all time.


Visually stunning for a film set in the late 1800s through WW1 and a soundtrack fitting for the film. Cast was chosen well and stand out performance from Nicholas Hoult in the titular role.


For a film that looked to be just about Tolkienand how he wrote The Lord of The Rings & The Hobbit series, it's so much more. If this doesn't at least receive some nominations for awards I would be shocked. If you have not seen it go see it before it's too late.

I am very glad I finally picked up this book. I got it for Christmas, but started reading so many other books that this one kinda got left behind. It is a great example of how creepy and intriguing can be mixed together in a very nice way. I loved the story itself. There were only a few moments where I felt that I c ould tell what was going to happen next. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the forst page. I really liked how all of the characters were named after other literary characters. It just made the book that much more fun for me. I would recommend this to anyone who likes gothic style horror and does not have a faint heart. There are a few scenes that can get intense and violent. I can't wait to start reading the next one!

I was really excited to read this book. I love all things filled with geekdom but this one was a little too much for me. I felt like this book was filled with so much opinion that I had a hard time finishing it.

The author was funny and it kept me entertained at times but I felt that this was a giant rant about fandoms. I think that this book could have been marketed a little differently. This is definitely a book that would fit in as a literary essay or critical thinking in a science fiction class. I enjoyed it but I really wish there was more to it than rants about specific details.

All in all, I'm not a huge fan but if you like rants or are missing that science fiction fanatic in your life, this would be the book for you.
