Not my favorite
This book has some nice imagery, but for the most part it is an unimpressive read. I think this may be partly due to the fact that there were to many characters. The book wasn't long enough to support them all, and by the end I hadn't connected with any of them.

I have read books where having a large cast works well, but they are almost always longer.

That's pretty much what I was figuring. Part of it relies on the length of the story, and the other part relies on character development.

Light easy read
It's a lighthearted funny easy read. You can pick up and put down whenever. A very easy to guess what happens in the end story though. No real effort needs to go into reading this book but it is nice to just stop thinking hard about a book for a while.

What a nice surprise and yes it does have elements of Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story but it is written in such a way that you want to keep reading. The first book I have read written by him and yes it does make me want to read more written by Mr Titchmarsh.

I loved the storyline and the way the movie flowed, the characters were each interesting and it was nice to see the back stories. (1 more)
As a non-DCnerd I liked it as I didn't have any expectations.
The joker wasn't great and I feel like he could of had more screen time. (0 more)

Cute Love Story
This was a cute story. It was nothing heavy but more like a feel good love story. It was well written and the characters were developed even the secondary characters. Sometimes you have to run away to find yourself and have a chicken like you. It is a nice, enjoyable, light read.

I enjoy Snapchat for keeping in contact and sharing my life with my friends. The filters are fun to use and change up regularly. The ability to have snap stories is nice so that you can view your friends lives through photos they've shared and they can see who is actually looking at their stuff.

So I won this a while back and just received it in the post. He’s great isn’t he? Quite small but then he’s supposed to be and it’s always nice to win something isn’t it? He shall watch over the entrance to my flat until I find a more suitable job for him. Thanks Smashbomb!

I do enjoy Netflix. Has a good selection. Just doesn't update enough. They have a nice selection of documentaries. It's also good that I can add a separate profile for the kids. The movie selection is a bit dated. But overall it's a good way to past time if there is nothing else on tv.
