"As a war correspondent, I have read many of the classic eyewitness accounts. I bought this book when I visited Vietnam in 1997. It’s one of the rare novels about that terrible war written from their perspective by a North Vietnamese student. It’s brutal, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking and desperately human. It’s also vital to remember that as much as the U.S. suffered on all fronts, Vietnam came off far, far worse. This book was first translated and sold in the west, ten years before it could be published in Vietnam."

I hated everything and I mean EVERYTHING about this book. The characters are annoying and not likeable all they do is complain about people making fun of them then turn around and make fun of and judge everyone else. I didn't care about the romance at all. Dimples was a shitty friend Rishi was a terrible brother and the only reason I managed to finish this and not DNF it like I 100% wanted to with in the first 20% was because I needed it for a readathon prompt.

Do you ever read a book that entices you to travel? Well this book is the second reason (after the food), I want to visit Greece. Specifically Zakynthos. The romance Isabelle creates in this book is so beautiful I just want a tint piece of it for myself. I'm a terrible romantic at heart and I can only dream of meeting someone so fantastic like Holly did. I've only read this book once but its stuck in my mind for a long time.

Worst of the lot!
I know this is the last Fox produced X-men film however they haven't even tried with it, i was hoping they would go out with a bang! They have already explored the Phoenix story line i the original time line and got it all wrong, you would have thought they would learn, but no, this is possibly worse, the acting is terrible, even the basics of the characters are all wrong, what annoyed most was the handling of Nightcrawler, what a waste!

Here me out, Lake Placid 2 is definitely a big shit pile - awful, terrible dialogue, some of the absolutey worst CGI I've ever seen, actors who change accents suddenly, and an all round lazy re-hash of the first film, but somehow, it's still relatively entertaining. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's the very definition of ironically bad. It's what Sharknado wishes it was.
They also replaced Oliver Platts character with the boss that smacks Chandlers ass a whole bunch in Friends which is low key hilarious.

So, so, shit. But kind of great.
