Too many talking snippets. (0 more)
I won this album from a giveaway here on Smashbomb! I was absolutely delighted to receive it and as I am a Lady gaga fan, I couldn't wait to listen to it.

I popped it in and I'm really sad to say that I was very disappointed with it. There are a lot of talking snippets throughout the album, which didn't really seem to fit or make sense in any way. It left me feeling somewhat confused as it was a soundtrack.

As far as the music goes, I really wanted to like this album so much, but it was all very generic and samey throughout. The tracks seemed to run into one and I got bored listening to it, however, I listened to it in its entirety.

I'm really sorry to say that I would not recommend this album (Sorry guys)

I loved the general storyline. The places he went, the things he saw, the people he met. (0 more)
Unfortunately, over 3/4 of this book is simply him talking about how great he is, or how much everyone loved him, or trying to be unsuccessfully poetic. I had to skim most of it because he was driving me crazy! (0 more)
This book could have been half as long and twice as enjoyable.

This is my new favorite show
Yeah, I am a little behind the times. Im only on season 5 but this show cracks me up. It’s rare to find a show with intelligent humor. I am constantly having to look things up so that I understand what they are talking about. I love a show that makes me learn. And Mayim Bialik is hilarious!

A marriage proposal to a grown Susan is really just a plot to take over Narnia, and the only people who can stop it are a run away slave and a talking horse. A fun adventure that has grown on me the more times I've read it.

I’m asking this question as the cinema experience is a bit of a contentious issue for me all the time. I have a cinema card and try and go at least once a week, but I’m finding myself getting more and more annoyed at the actual experience itself (people talking & eating throughout the film, never ending adverts before the film itself), so I’m interested to hear how everyone else finds it?

I absolutely love jumpscare films..This was definetly one for me.It sligjtly terrified me..One of those uh oh which way is it comong from kind of filmed..The fact that theres literally like no talking during the movie does get a little boring at first but the end makes it worth it!
  
I wanted to read this after seeing Kate Summerscale at the Hay Festival talking about the book. I found that I felt very different at the end of the talk to how I felt at the beginning!

A really interesting story and Robert Coombs becomes a real person to the reader across the book.

This would be a good read if you are interested in social history and/or psychology.
