A thought provoking & moving morality tale
I'd already seen the film prior to reading This, so I may have spoilt the book for myself a little. However that said, the book is much better than the film. It's a moving and thought-provoking tale of love, loss and morality. It really gets you questioning right and wrong, and I found myself getting frustrated at characters for not doing what I personally believed was right. It's not a pleasant book to read for the most part as it's quite sad and depressing, although the ending does at least give you some hope. Can be a little too long winded at times but still a great easy read.

"It’s a great meditation on how we treat and mistreat ‘the other.’ A magical, thought provoking film that I saw at a time in my life when I was questioning a lot of things about the nature of humanity and how we react when we come up against the unknown and unknowable."

Was a bit reluctant to watch because of mixed reviews. My thirteen year old watched it first and insisted we all sit and watch together. Sandra Bullock was excellent in the movie. The story kept my attention, although I thought it was a bit slow moving. Very thought provoking, and had my family discussing afterwards. It did remind me a bit of The Walking Dead. I would recommend watching it to others.

I wasn't expecting much from this. I hadn't heard an awful lot about it considering it was made a few years ago. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It's a very emotional revenge, vigilante type film. Great lead actors, and a touching, thought provoking story. Well worth seeing if you haven't already!

Couldn't put it down!
This book is amazing! A diverse set of twenty somethings embark on a great adventure. There's espionage, political savvy, action, and magic! The characters are so relatable!

Not only does Caruso provide intriguing plots and clever dialogue but the themes she explores are thought provoking and deep.

I recommend this novel for anyone and everyone!

<i>I received an ARC from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review</i>

This was a fast paced and very thought-provoking read. It was believable, dark, intense and mirrors numerous true life events. I highly recommend this book to those that are interested in family dramas that are gripping and well constructed.
