Silent suspense
Maddie (Kate Siegel) is a deaf writer, living a “quiet” life in the woods, secluded and alone, trying to heal after the breakdown of her last relationship.

Queue the bad guy played by John Gallagher Jr... and what follows is an 82 minute, interesting game of cat and mouse.

 It’s a fresh take on the standard home invasion/slasher movie genre with the added element of her disability. Expect some great scenes, good acting from the small cast involved and no complicated storyline.

Try to overlook the inconsistencies, the plot holes and occasional predictability.

Thought-provoking but predictable
I really enjoy Matt Haig's writing, both his fiction and his non-fiction, and I couldn't wait to read The Midnight Library - a sci-fi-esque, life affirming story about books is right up my street. And overall, this was worth the wait.

Nora is an endearing and relatable protagonist whose life hasn't turned out the way she wanted, and her list of regrets could fill a whole book (literally as we find out). She decides to end her life and winds up in the Midnight Library, a place that allows her to visit an unending number of alternative lives that resulted from her making different decisions. Now who hasn't wished they could change their past, make a different decision and wonder where they would've ended up? This book is definitely for those that have ever wished this and it's a dream I enjoyed reading.

The problem is that it's very predictable. I knew exactly how this was going to end from the very beginning and whilst the ending is heartwarming and very life affirming, it's a tiny bit of a let down. Which is a shame as the journey through Nora's lives is actually quite interesting.

There's a good message in this about living and appreciating your own life, but I just wish this wasn't so predictable.

Very good!
I have always had a love for beauty and the beast. It was my second favorite movie as a kid with the Little Mermaid as first. But as I got older, beauty and the beast became my favorite. I loved Emma Watson in this. She did an excellent job of portraying Belle. They did a wonderful job of selecting actors that matched the original animated characters as well. Disney definitely brought it to life.

The prologue had me immediately hooked! I was very interested in how the story would turn out and I became caught up in the mystery. I went through almost as many suspects. Despite knowing she was already dead, I couldn't help but be a tad bit disappointed that she didn't come back to life - not that I really expected that to happen. I also didn't expect to find out who the killer was and what happened. You don't run into mysteries this good very often!
