Given the earned pedigree of both the Rambo franchise and Sylvester Stallone himself, I had pretty good hopes for this sendoff film.
I am sad to report, that is not what was offered.
Unlike previous Rambo stories, this film seemed to lack heart. While motivation for the titular character was definitely present, I felt that it was most misguided in execution.

Will be writing a review for the couple story's I enjoyed in this book:
Gasping for Air
Author: Ogechukwu Emmanuel Samuel
"Humans! They are the worst thing to have happened to Earth since the beginning" I agree with this 100% humans have ruined the earth with their greed.
I liked this story was very interesting. It was scary but caught my attention. The ending was super confusing.
Border Control
Author: Aldine Jojo Elhassan
This story was sad due to this girl's traumatic delivery and mistreatment from the nurses. Scary to read to being pregnant currently it gave me anxiety and almost had me crying.
The Newlyweds' Window
Author: Husnah Mad-hy
"But her fate was like the rest of the unmarried women; marry young, give the husband and their families some children (at least one boy), and subdue her dreams to the more practical and 'real life' expectations of Swahili women- cooking, cleaning, raising, tending to her husband, attending weddings and funerals, and the likes." This is ok if you want this in life but every girl should not be forced into it.
"She watched and could sometimes hear as they made love every night for six months straight." This is majorly creepy.
This story was creepy and confusing the main character gave off stalker vibes and needs to mind their own business and give the people some privacy.
Black Pawpaw
Author: Obinna Ezeodili
This ones really sad how they have to beg for help and than the abuse the main character receives. Also Binye seeing her as mama instead of his mom is sad. The mom should be around more. The sexual assault is sad and screwed up too and very triggering. And the Aunt died from self defense this girl shouldn't have to be punished for it she was defending herself during sexual assault.

Sometimes life isn't quite what you expected. A novel about finding yourself and finding true love.
This is a nice little debut novel about Sophie, a young woman who is torn between her love for her boyfriend and her growing feelings for her best friends sister. Set in Scotland, this novel is tragic, romantic, gripping and sad.

The prolonged grief of watching someone suffer
Terribly sad to read Cathy Rentzenbrink's real account of watching her brother in a vegetative state eight years after a hit and run accident. It raises many moral questions including is it right to let someone live in pain or die quickly under horrible circumstances. This book is truly a love story between a sister and brother. Expect many tears.

You must read part one to know part two. Just figured I would throw that out there first.. Next.. this was amazing.. so simply amazing. I love Marcus and Abigail and their story. It is wonderfully written. Sad parts, happy parts, yummy parts. This is a story about forgiveness a lot.. but also love. The ending though.. oh man... I can't wait for part 3.

Oh wow.. the way it ended. I love it and I loved how it ends. I am also sad it ended and I hope to see more stories in the future about some of the other characters. I really enjoyed how it came together and what happened. Very good series and I totally recommend it to my friends. I am so glad I got to review it
