Overall, the new Lady and the Tramp movie was cute. However, I didn't love that they completely recreated the Siamese cats. The were so classic to the old Disney animated version that it was sad to see them be so changed, assuming due to modern social issues. I wasn't nuts about the new cats or their new song. I also missed the puppies at the end of the animated movie! They also didn't have the Bloodhound get hit by the horses at the end of the live-action version. So some scenes were watered-down a bit, but all in all, the dogs were still cute and it was fun to see. I'm just personally still a bigger fan of the Disney animated version, I guess.

"Why Shaggs’ Own Thing and not Philosophy Of The World? The reason is, Philosophy of the World is bad and Shaggs’ Own Thing is a beautiful, sad record. It’s not like what people normally think about The Shaggs; it’s not them at their most shambolic. It doesn't get you in the gut and it’s not ridiculous. It’s really not a train wreck. Well, maybe it is like a train wreck, or maybe more like a badly assembled car that still gets you where you want to go. It’s not a smooth ride, but it is beautiful. It’s like another language. There’s nobody else like them. They sound just how they should sound. But this record didn’t actually have much of an impact because it was actually subtle."

This book is one of those that you cannot seem to shake after you have read it.

The plot itself is not a new one, but I think Alana Terry added some great mystery to it. It also came with some good twists towards the end of the book. The book dealt with some sad subjects which I think added to the overall realism quality of it. We all have to die at some point, and we do need to think about what legacy we want to leave behind. I liked how Alana Terry kind of lead us through the main character’s thought process as well. It was an interesting view; one I am still trying to decide whether I like or not

THIS WAS SO HAPPY, literally the happiest book that I've read since Simon Vs and that made me very very happy because if you know me you know that I love me some happy books, yes there were sad part that broke me apart but the happy times were just so so happy that it made up for everything 10/10 would recommend. (PLUS THE MULTITUDE OF THEATRE REFERENCES ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER) if you're a nerd you will love these nerds. Also I love Dylan so much he's such a well fun character i don't even know if I'm supposed to love him as much as I do, this review is just a pure ramble now but I LOVE THIS BOOK

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.

"While it is sad to consider how young Vigo was when he passed away and to think of all the great films he never had a chance to make, it is amazing to think how we continue to remember this artist’s small body of work with such great admiration. This is a real testament to the power of his one full-length feature film, L’Atalante—a film that documents the early days of a newlywed couple who operate a canal barge. When I saw this for the first time, I was reminded of what it was like to see Citizen Kane for the first time: that sudden, startling feeling that you are watching something so far ahead of its time that it feels oddly out of place."
