Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Look Again: A Novel in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Oh my gosh! Such a GREAT book!!! I was guessing until the very end & that doesn't happen very often with me & a book like this. The characters were very well written & believable without being too over the top. The story was heartfelt with plenty of twists & turns to keep the reader guessing. This is a must read for anyone that loves a good book!!!

Great cast especially the two male leads (1 more)
Great tension builds towards the end
A little long in the run time I felt, but overall a very entertaining film with great performances from Brad Pitt and Christopher Waltz. The second half of the film is better as a plot to assassinate the top Nazi's in one hit slowly unravels with a few twists and turns.

Book I recommend to everyone
I've read extensively about WW2 and the Holocaust, both fiction and nonfiction. This is the #1 book I recommend for others interested in those subjects and honestly my top fiction recommendation overall. Great characterization, good pacing, and a tense plot jeep the pages turning. Have tissues handy - I'm not a big crier but this one definitely got to me!

Top Ten series to read!!!! It made my list and then some. This book was awesome. I just can't tell you how much I fell in love with it. The story line seemed predictable at first, and let me tell you it wasn't predictable at all. I love the characters. I love that main character it a strong female. I just love everything about this book.

A legendary comedy that's so dumb, it's smart
When it comes to landmark comedies that stand the test of time, Dumb & Dumber is near the top of that list. It's "stupidity" is sheer brilliance. Jim Carrey is a comedy icon. Jeff Daniels, one of the best actors on the planet, delivers the funny like no other.

This undersea action thriller is intriging with a slow start as the tension builds into one of the best sci-fi actioners out there, with an Eco message we should all heed.
Camera work is top notch and underwater scenes gripping and although not the most scientifically accurate, the balance ensures exciting viewing.
This movie has depth way beyond that of the sea it is set in.

An entertaining if fairly average heist action film. It features a pretty decent line up of actors with rappers T.I. and Chris Brown included. It tries to be very cool, slick but it lacks the style and quality of Heat or Ocean's Eleven. Top marks for trying to compete with those and if you like films along those lines then you should enjoy this as well.

A missing teen, a skull with a bullet hole, and a mysterious grad student make up this mystery. The plot slowed a bit in the second quarter, but picked up again for the second half. As always, the characters and writing are top notch.

Yes it's a bit lewd and very crude but also very funny! If you're easily offended by swearing, nudity this isn't for you. Otherwise I thought this was very fun almost from start to finish. It does get a bit Rom-commy towards the end and it's really not that type of film. Overall plenty of laughs, the dialogue is just so over the top!!
