Repetition (2 more)
Condescending nature of librarian character
Contrived lecturing
Nice concept but dull
I listened to this on audiobook and though I would enjoy the narration by Carey Mulligan. However, I found the writing so repetitive and the character of the librarian so condescending and lecturing that it ended up being a DNF for me. Shame as I liked the premise and it's exploration of mental health. I also liked Haig's previous books which were quirky and well-written but this one just didn't meet the mark for me.

I dunno with this one. His coldness and pill-taking for half the book annoyed me--even if it was for a good cause--but then the second half where Nila wasn't letting him hide anymore...it was kinda nice seeing more of him emotionally, learning more about his past and his closeness to his brother and sister.
But then that ending! Another cliff-hanger? Really? And this time I may have to go straight to book 5...they better be all right or I'm going to scream and swear 'til the air turns blue. :(

This was a little like an after story; a continuation of Kou and Yoshioka but also showing the relationship between two other characters that had been a long time coming--I wish I could remember how to spell their names!
There were also two other chapters in here: one showing a pizza sharing scene between Kou and Yoshioka and one that showed Kou when he was younger during/after the divorce when he moved to Nagasaki.
Nice ending to the series. Recommend to people who like romances and comics/manga.

I've missed you
Well in many ways this is more of the same as the first film. If anything maybe the scares are a bit better this time round and there is still plenty of humour between the group. My main problem was the pacing, quite slow throughout and it's around 30 minutes longer the first. It definitely didn't feel as intense as the first one. Still it's a well made film and nice to have a cameo from Stephen King.
