Well produced but still completely missing a lot
It's pretty incredible to create a series about the effects of mass porn without mentioning how it actually affects the women in it and around it. Once again we have a very male take on women as a mass commodity, narrowing them down to keywords instead focusing on how the men who make it and are responsible for the consumerism are affected. I thought Jon Ronson would explore this issue, but he skirts around it as an aside. Not his best by far.

Well after reading Performance Anomalies I'd have to say that Victor Robert Lee has created an interesting new male lead in the spy genre with his Cono character. Cono is gifted with lighting fast processing skills & reflexes which he uses to help out various international interests. You can't help but feel for Cono & his drifting life style. But I also found myself disliking him too...he seems to flit through life without laws. He is an interesting blend of personalities. I look forward to seeing how Lee decides to expand the character & the series.

Titus Andromedon - literally my favourite character (1 more)
John Hamm is such a good villain
Slightly trivializing quite a horrific subject (0 more)
Slightly ridiculous, over the top comedy
While this series is rather funny and watchable, there are times it's utterly cringe-worthy and I really did not like how the court scenes were handled. It's an incredibly dark topic, which writer Tina Fey does an almost excellent job of hilarity, but it falls short because it should never have been done given the horrible spate of male violence against women, and women being held against their will.

Likable characters (2 more)
Interesting storyline
Dealt realistically with LGBT issues
Didnt get to know the characters deep enough (0 more)
Follows the life of a male high school student, Simon, who is currently disguising that he is gay. He then finds comfort in an online friend who is struggling with the same problem. Simon then endeavours to find out who his online recipient is, while all along trying to keep his sexuality a secret.

I enjoyed watching popular film with an LGBT main character.
Simon is a lovable and an easily relatable teenager.

This was a super easy, quick, and heart happy read. The characters had chemistry that you could see on the pages and imagine off the pages. It gave a strong female lead a strong male lead to compliment her. They work together instead of fighting with each other. It was a definite move from the normal young adult rom-com read.
This is perfect if you need a quick happy read where everything isn't terrible for the main characters the entire book.

Thanks to the publisher for letting me read an early copy through Netgalley.

Action scenes were amazing. CGI was so believable, almost forgot you weren't there. (0 more)
Not in 3D. Would have been epic in 3D (0 more)
Again, The Rock brought it home...
Love any movies with a strong Male lead as long as they also have a strong female that makes them remember they have a soft side too. Seeing the lengths a father and husband would go to save his family despite any limitations was wonderful. Just enough action/drama ratio so ladies will enjoy and men will not get bored.
