I enjoyed this.

It isn't my usual reading--the sci-fi aspect of it anyway--but I got sucked into it early on. Questions were continually running through my mind: How had she managed to come back from the dead? How had Ben managed to do that? What was with the timer? What was killing these people?

It was an interesting read and the characters were cool. I'm sad that certain ones were killed off though I wont spoil it by telling you who. And I was surprised who was causing all the problems in the first place. He wasn't even on my suspect list.

After seeing there is a second book in the series, it's gone on want-to-read list for a later time.

"Such a devastating and beautiful film. It’s interesting to see Amy Winehouse as a young girl with raw talent, and watch how, like a wave, she goes up and up and up and then crashes. As a viewer, you feel almost guilty to be watching her – she was watched enough – but this is a respectful portrait and I like that it celebrates her music. A lot of the time, in films about female artists, they only focus on the tragedy of their emotional lives and not enough about how amazing their craft was – and with this film you definitely get a sense of what an amazing singer and songwriter she was. She was much more than someone with addiction problems: she was a singular talent."

I have mixed feelings about this film. For one, it is a great move forward towards realistic sci-fi, and I hope more movies are made like this.
The biggest problems for me were, a) the voiceover, it reminded me too much of Interview with a Vampire, and b) Brad Pitt being the lead. I could think of other actors that could have executed the character a little better.
Like others, I felt like the ending was completely anticlimactic. The story was so strong throughout, then I feel like it was spoiled. The film was also a little too long. That being said, the VFX were pretty amazing, and I can only imagine what this film would look like in IMAX.
