I have loved the movie since it came out. I have raved about it's stunning visuals and unique story. So I finally dedicated time to read the book. I felt I was finally able to read the story without comparing the two.
I immediately loved her sass from the beginning. However, I felt there were several times throughout the story where Coraline's emotions were lost. I have read Neil Gaiman before, and it is typical that emotions are stark and factual, and not easy for the reader to find empathy.
If it had not been for the existing love of Coraline and her story, I think I would have really struggled to finish this.

Scarlett has had a rough life abandoned, in and out of Foster homes, stabbed, unloved, unwanted. Out of the blue somebody shows up representing her useless father great thats all she needs! Or is it exactly what she needs to change her life?
This was an intriguing story I enjoyed getting to know the charecters and where they come from there backgrounds and struggles through life. The sex scenes were very steamy but also quite repetitive. Some of the bits of the story do seem like there repeating things that have been said before.
It is a lovely story about finding yourself, love family and fighting demons and doubts.
A nice story overall just a bit repaetative in places.

Nothing ever runs smoothly, does it? And these twos relationship is no exception. Once again it's a roller coaster of emotion and feeling as Rush is once more pulled between his loyalty to his sister and his love for Blaire.
This series is emotional and you get so engrossed in Blaire and Rush's story that you feel like you're in the story with them, seeing it all happen right in front of you.
I need to find out what happens in the end with these two but I've noticed that Woods' story is book three in the Rosemary Beach series, so should I read his story next or go straight into Forever Too Far?? HELP?!?!

Raw, emotional, powerful drama
Apart from the fact I love Viggo Mortensen, this film is not one of those violent action films, but actually about a family drama. The story plot may not have been original, however, the dramatic effect it had on the family was powerful and emotional. It really does raise the question how well do you know the people you love? And not in a melodramatic way.

OMG... I just can't. This book was epic. I love how much the story gripped me and wouldn't let go. It was a great sequel to the first. You learned more about the characters you already loved and it makes you love them more. I can't wait to read the next one. The world created in this book is amazing. It's definitely in my top 10 series to read.

I cannot begin to explain how much I love this movie. I must have watched it atleast 20 times already! I am in love with Wonder Woman, she is such a strong female lead and that’s something DC really needed! The story line is brilliant and the only slight draw back would be the predictable CGI villain! However I would watch this for Wonder Woman and Etta Candy alone!
