Book Rating

3.5/5 - Cliche high school romance book - unconventional of course but still, cliche. I love Leah as a character though so I was stuck in it just for her - I wanted to know what would happen (even though I knew - HEA obvs) I was happy to get more Simon though - I think they need a "college years" book now in this and see how everyone ends up because, I'm curious. I feel like if I talk more about it it'd be spoilery - but I also feel like Leah is a bit self depreciating even though she's self confident.. i was a strange combination for my brain to comprehend.

I - had words for this book - and my husband had to sit there and just listen to me rage lol

I didn't mind the last portion of the book but this one, though beautifully written, had strange coloured text, which I DESPISED, and was slow, agonizing in some areas, but alas.... did I hate it, no.

Oh Thorn and his adorableness was just... I couldn't help but fall for that character so I guess that's the point - I did enjoy reading mostly his parts of the book, her parts were meh for the most part. I really loved the cat too - I'm a sucker for pets in books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall not bad !

The story line and how it's written. (0 more)

Grabbed my attention from the get go.

I've always had a strange fascination with vampires so when I found this book I was super excited. The story of Zoey Redbird and her learning how to be different while still trying to remain normal was very interesting to me. It's been a while since ive read it but I love the danger and adventures she goes on. I always felt like I related to her, being a sort of outcast in school and only having a small group of really close friends. I definitely recommend this series!

Fun

This movie was pretty much what I expected it to be - a little cheesy, but with some cool effects. They did well with the monsters - although it seemed strange that two of the three creatures developed more than just size and aggression while the gorilla just got bigger/stronger/ more aggressive but was otherwise the same(watch and see what I mean). Anyway, the acting was pretty good and the cinematography was, too. Overall this was a fun, entertaining movie that could be watched with the whole family. Plenty of action, some bloody stuff(nothing too nasty) and a good dose of comic relief. Worth a watch!

Laugh of loud funny

I have never raved about a book so much. I don't think that there is a single person who has come into my proximity that I haven't told to read this! It is sooo funny and I just couldn't put it down! The fact that it is based on the doctor's true experiences makes it even better!
I wouldn't recommend reading this in public by yourself however, especially when you are sat in the waiting room at the GP. People are likely to look at you and think you are very strange when you are full on laughing out loud with tears running down your face!

A nice coming of age film

Contains spoilers, click to show

An Australian film based in a large department store, mainly the ladies department and the staff who work there. The main story is about a sixteen year old girl who has got a Christmas job working there (mind you it is strange because the film is based around Christmas and yet it is not, they are all on the beach and they keep calling it summer. Anyway back to the film the main character is a 16 year old girl who blossoms throughout the film from help from other members of staff. Enjoyable and a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.
