Good choice, slightly annoying interface
Ok it has a good selection but not everything. Lots of popular stuff missing. And please put the search on a button or a sidebar. Having to scroll all the way through the categories to search is annoying.

A very enjoyable sequel with plenty of action. It's missing a certain something second time round though, maybe the detective work to track his daughter down added more suspense in the first. Good to see the daughter and ex-wife have larger roles this time though. Unfortunately though I got a bad feeling there could be a 3rd, which really would stretch the franchise too far.
  
A missing teen, a skull with a bullet hole, and a mysterious grad student make up this mystery. The plot slowed a bit in the second quarter, but picked up again for the second half. As always, the characters and writing are top notch.

I enjoyed these three books. They are very quick reads. The only thing I had an issue with was the repetitive parts. Those who have read the previous books would know what is happening with the girls. Also, there were two missing quotation marks, but that is just something that irritates me no matter what book it is. Other than that, it was a pretty fun read.

A good entry into the X Men franchise. It's good to see the back story to one of the main characters and fans of the comics will be glad to see one or two other characters show up in this that were missing from the other films. Overall an enjoyable action film with good SFX but not as good as the main X men films I thought.
  
I liked the book. It added some much needed back-story to a good movie.

What I don't understand is everyone complaining about the ending. I re-watched the movie right after I finished the book, just to see if I missed something...it ended just the same!

So...either I got a bad edition of the book...or I am just missing something glaringly obvious!

Could have more avaliable. (0 more)
Could have all films avalible on all versions. I have UK and it doesn't show every film on it, just those in my region and I'm missing out on some great films if Pinterest and tumblr is to be believed.
Other than that, it is a great thing to have when wanting to stream you fab shows.

Edge of your seat let down
I had to watch this movie twice to make sure I read not missing something. It has a lot of twists and turns but in the end you are left with questions. I hope there is a prequel and a sequel.....I feel it would take both to answer all my questions.

Good, but I don't know whether it's down to your local library as to what is available but I've found gaps in series of books. Not all are available and those that are tend to be either at the beginning or the end of series, with those in the middle missing. It needs work, but a good idea, and it feeds my need for audio books.
