Rolling Stone's 449th greatest album of all time
A mediocre bunch of folk-rock songs. I can't see why on earth this would come above Jackson Browne's album, there seems to be passion missing and none of the songs are particularly memorable.

The editing, soundtrack, acting were great. (0 more)
I just feel it was missing a back story. Like how did earth become this way? Why were the species segregated in a sense? I felt like we were just thrown in a story with no context. (0 more)
Good but missing something
Overall the movie was pretty good. The characters, the main ones at least, held my attention for the duration of the film. There weren't any dead spots. But I would have loved to have had a back story. They need to really make a prequel to explain why this version of the world exists.
  
So the cover and synopsis looked and sounded amazing for this book. .. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I was expecting. ...more. I'm not sure exactly but I felt like it was missing stuff. I also didn't know it was the 2nd in the serious which might be what I'm missing. I feel like it was long enough to learn the characters then ends. It was good. . The plot has amazing potential to be even more and the characters caught me. I was just wishing for more Dragon I think. Overall not a bad book.

Suspense
Detectives McCabe and Savage, in the first of this series, are on the hunt for a sick individual, murdering young healthy women and removing their hearts. After they find the body of a young missing girl, they are informed another woman has gone missing already, and the clock starts ticking... they have a week to find her and taking the killer down.

Interesting read, like the characters but would like to see more character development and the partnership between McCabe and Savage... is it sexual, friendly... it’s hard to ascertain.

Well written and gripping, finished in 24 hours.

Wow, I really enjoyed this, With Cecelia Ahern you really can't go wrong.
I am in aww I think her imagination is off the charts, who else would have come with writing about a place where missing things go, makes me wonder where all my socks go.
I love the story of Sandy finding herself in this missing place and actually finding out who she is realising she has lost a lot of her life to her obsession with finding missing things and as well as the story of Jack on a similar journey but wasting his life away obsessively searching for his brother.
I love how it all comes together.
My favourite quote is...
"I can only assume that there's only one thing more frustrating than not being able to find someone, and that's not being found. I would want someone to find me, more than anything."
A truly brilliant read.
