As a CJUS major and a future lawyer, this movie made me nerd out. Obviously, Matt Damon is a hottie and the film is worth watching for him alone, but Danny DeVito and Jon Voight too? This cast is phenomenal. The story was so good too! Johnny Whitworth's performance, though short, was super incredible, heartbreaking, and solid. He roped you in so well and just made you feel for him - even though it wasn't that hard.
I could watch this a million times over and even though there were definitely mistakes (the legal ones), it was worth overlooking and still an enjoyable film, no doubt.

Love the amount of impact your decisions have on the game. (1 more)
Wuld Wasteland is a great perk!
Good, but glitchy
I had to start this game again because I ran into a big glitch that stopped me completing the main story.
Sadly, this was not the only glitch I encountered.
The issue was Obsidian were given a very short amount of time to make the game, considering that, it is still a great game.
While the compleationist in me is sad I was unable to do all the challenges I wanted, it was still brilliant!
Now to resist starting again and siding with the legion.

Although Suen writes very nicely, I think she needs to work on the old "show, don't tell" part of her writing. Her protagonist Conner seems like a nice enough person, but overall, he's pretty bland, and I really felt that there were things that didn't fit well. Grief is a powerful emotion, and I felt that while reading this, that Suen held back and didn't let all of the emotions into the character or the story. Plus, there's a twist in the end that simply doesn't make sense. This could be a really lovely book, but I'm afraid it fell short for me. Sorry!

Anne Tyler’s fans were worried that her 2015 novel “A Spool of Blue Thread” might have been her last. How pleased and thankful are we all that she hasn’t gone into retirement because she just couldn’t stop writing? Her newest novel also takes us back to Baltimore (with a couple of short sidetracks) to hear Willa’s story; a woman who drifted through her 60 years of life, until a total stranger calls her, putting her on a path that will change everything. My review of this charming novel is on my blog now. Thanks for the free book, @prhinternational!

*I received this book from the author*
For such a short story, it was really good. It threw in a couple of surprises along the way too, which is something the author is really good at doing.
It was great using the idea of Dickens' Christmas Carol to write a vampire's life. The past, when he was turned and caused the death of his girlfriend, to the present where he's about to do something that will change him forever, to the future where he's shocked by the bad things that might happen because of him.
Really liked it. Thank you, Cynthia, for the chance to read it :)
