Lee (2222 KP) rated The Space Between Us (2017) in Movies
Jan 23, 2018 (Updated Jan 23, 2018)
Very dull
It's in such a rush to get to the point where it can be a tragic love story, with our two young lovers on the run, that the movie completely forgets about plausibility and doesn't give us any time to believe in any of the feelings and emotions being experienced. I haven't read the book that this awful movie is based on but I can imagine that it goes into much needed detail a lot more than this does.

Once again Callie has outdone herself!
O.M.G... I have been waiting impatiently for this book and all I can say is Callie has once again outdone herself...I think Heath may just be my man! These two were hot as hell from their very first encounter and it sure seems like nothing will slow them down ;-) Absolutely incredible story, lovable characters and a beautiful storyline. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended book, series and author!!!

When Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy find a magic wardrobe leads them to a new land, they also learn they hold the key to a prophecy that will end the eternal winter brought on by an evil witch. I first read this book in 3rd grade. I loved it then. I love it now. A magical story that captures the imagination.

I made it about 100 pages in, then lost patience. The story began well enough, then got bogged down in planetary politics and industrial intrigue. Too many people are introduced, but the reader is given no reason to care about them. I probably would have enjoyed reading about the "replaced" character far more than the protagonist. Too bad--I adored Riva from [book:Mathemagics], and would love to read more in that universe, but otherwise it seems that Ball's work just isn't for me.

As a former comic book geek this story drew me in. I have read other books by this author and they were great in their sweet simplicity. This was a bit more complicated. I loved Night Terror she was the perfect villian but her main love interest seemed a bit blah. Iwould have liked to see more verbal and mental sparring. That said I did enjoy this book and will read the next one. The uniqueness of it is a draw in itself.

Ryan Reynolds and Samuel l Jackson give this film a great source of entertainment the chemistry between them is brilliant proper love hate relationship wise cracks and abuse to each other makes some entertaining scenes . While the overall story is not new and has been done before by others. It's worth watching both actors play off each other and the film flows generally well at a good pace. Well worth watching on a Friday night with a few mates and beer .

This is a very scary story givin the time we live in. I had trouble reading it because I was so angry. Winkes did an amazing job developing characters that you both love and hate. She captured the uncertainty and angst that seems to be prevelant in our current time to only channel it to a more productive route. It was the "Handmaid's Tale" and "Stepford Wives" combined with a scary Trumpian veiw. We must NEVER let anything get like this.

Should be required reading
I have never read such a gripping, fascinating and heartwarming story that also taught me as much as this book did. Whilst I have always supported the Black Lives Matter movement, I have never understood it in the way that I do after reading this book. I have so much love for all of the characters. It had me crying in public for a lot of it! I recommend this book to anyone who’ll listen to me!
POPPYWILLOW900 (9 KP) rated Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Children in Books
Jun 23, 2018
I was really looking forward to this book having enjoyed the first one so much and it didn't disappoint, read it in 24 hours, I couldn't put it down, I love that you pick up the story exactly where you left and your not kept waiting for answers for ages, the only problem I had was mixing the characters up at times, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment, it's a brilliant read but you need to be familiar with the first book

When I heard of this book, I screamed: fairytale retellings, fandom culture, and cute romances, all in one??? Sign me the FUCK up. This book was incredible, and so, so, so sweet. It's a cute slowburn, a bit of anger, a lot of humor. A lovely, well-written story that I truly really love. The characters are sweet and relatable, and you tend to understand some of their struggles. I loved this book so, so much, and honestly? You guys should too.
