The Dino Bots Just Dissapear
Transformed Into A Decent Film In The Series
I actually quite enjoyed this film in the series,
They have made a decent film with a lot of humour and grand scenes. Would of liked a bit more of the dino bots they just kind of go missing after a while

Really great book, but BEWARE... if being inside the head of a pedophile creep is too much for you, you might want to skip some of the pages. Luckily there is a LOT more to it without the sick and twisted boy-lover's thoughts ruining the whole thing. It's something you don't get when you see the movie so it surprised me. Other than that, GREAT book!

For me the second age of the mistborn (Wax and Wayne) pale in comparison with the original trilogy. However, Bands of Mourning was a definite improvement over the previous 2 books. A lot of the post-Harmony history starts to be uncovered and some very interesting things hinted at. I am looking forward to the final second age book, and am expecting some fairly significant developments.

Quite a complicated magic system to get your head round, but it isn't done to death (it is hinted at early but is only really used in earnest quite a lot later in the book). There are aspects of other parts of the cosmere hinted at here (the gods being similar to those in elantris, using material items for powers). A good standalone contribution to the universe.

I have so much love for this book. As always we get an unorthodox, singular story with a lot of cleverness and humor from Penny Reid. She is becoming one of my favorites fast and, God, can we have Billy's story soon?

Tragic story of Irish communities
This book had a lot of similarities with Philomena. It's hugely tragic, about a woman who has been in an asylum for 80 years after being out there by malicious priests and community leaders, annulling her marriage and taking away her baby. While at times it seems improbable, the story of her psychiatrist trying to uncover her story is beautiful.

All time favorite
One of the best revenge stories ever written. I've read a lot of books, both modern and classics, but this one will always be my favorite.
One thing I thought would bother me are the Christian undertones throughout due to being an atheist, but though it was at times very religious, I never found it distracting even after having read it 6 times.

The story had a lot of exciting moments. I was happy to see the things that I remember from my limited knowledge of Peter Pan including the pirates, the tree, and mermaids. I was also thrilled to see a few surprises along the way.

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.

Battles could have been longer (0 more)
Another excellent entry for Marvel
Such a huge film with so many big characters. The film whizzes by even at 2 hrs 20mins. The battle scenes are great, just felt the big battle could have been a lot longer considering the amount of characters involved. Still with a fair amount of humour as well.
