Quite funny for a Horror film
Ghost Face
What's your favourite Scary movie?
The film that breathed new life in to the Slasher film franchise. It's cool, slick, funny and gory in equal measure. The cast is great and the story is done really well. Will have you guessing who the Killer is and enjoying the ride to the very end.

Disappointing
I really enjoyed The Reluctant Fundamentalist, but I couldn't warm to this at all. I've seen lots of good reviews though!

This book speaks straight from your souls. One of the books where you feel like having a chat with a good friend and agree about how life works. Absolute brilliant in a funny way which makes you think about your own behaviour as well

"This book was very influential in my life. I credit it for my fascination with philosophy and for instilling in me a desire to think for myself, rather than surrender to the conventional. Without reading this, I probably wouldn’t have become a very good student."

Book Favorite

"I love it for its portrayal of a good man whose goodness is misunderstood and unrewarded by almost everyone in the small town he gives his life to serve. I think often of its great last line: “What does it matter? Grace is everywhere.”"

Based closely on true life
Likeable characters
Story stretched out too much (1 more)
Not a fan of the jumps between, Not always obvious who and where you are
Not what I was expecting - but ok read
I did finish and enjoy this book to an extent. I read it as it's been raved about on social media and I don't think it deserved the hype. Was Good, but I skipped a lot of unnecessary detail and the end was disappointing

Gaiman wrote this book because he felt adults deserved a story similar to how Alice in Wonderland was written for kids. I love this explanation!

"Dear Diary, he began. On Friday I had a job, a fiancée, a home, and a life that made sense. (Well, as much as any life makes sense.) Then I found an injured girl bleeding on the pavement, and I tried to be a Good Samaritan. Now I’ve got no fiancée, no home, no job, and I’m walking around a couple of hundred feet under the streets of London with the projected life expectancy of a suicidal mayfly."

what a fantastic read, the author gives you a really good read, which includes suspense with full on romance. the author has a way of writing that just makes everything come to life and you end up being sucked into the book. this is defiantly a must read book.

highly recommended

The word Bumder.
Still funny
Still enjoy the episodes and still find them funny. Also still use phrases from the show in my everyday life which is cringy in itself lol. You do have to have a good sense of humour for this and it is quite blue.

Paris
I loved this book number 3 of the series
I read it just before I went to Paris myself so I could imagine it while I was there
Angela's life is just chaos but I love it, I love reading about it and her ups and downs
The I heart series is so good
