When I first read the synopsis for the book I had a different idea of what this book was going to be. Instead it surprised me by being different from the Selection. While I enjoyed Con and Bell I did not enjoy the long drawn out awkward romance with Shae. It felt like she was saying she loved him while not showing it.
All in all this was very different than what I was expecting but that made it into it's own story. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a love triangle that turns into true love.
Received an egalley from Netgalley.

I really wanted to like this book, and after [b:Alongside Night|1955398|J. Neil Schulman's Alongside Night|J. Neil Schulman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190837684s/1955398.jpg|1958351] I had fairly high expectations. I knew that I agreed with most of his political views as I understood them, so all should have been well.
Unfortunately, it reads as if Schulman had a political point to make and wrote the story around it. The world and the plot are just pasted onto the soapbox. The rationale given for why the population has gotten so skewed so that there are too few women doesn't ring true.

Amazing film
Don't be put off thinking this is just another cheesey chick flick, that would be an unjust insult. This is a very well made film with a great story of true love standing the test of time. The acting, score, cinematography and the 40's theme costumes and sets really show this is a very well produced film. It might be obvious from early on what is going to happen but it doesn't stop the journey being any less fun. If you liked the romance side of Titanic and Pearl Harbour you will like this a lot.

Enjoyment throughout Exceptional
This book and its following instalments kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. So much so i went out and got everything i could to do with it and i was not left with a sour taste. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Feyre's journey is something i have been happy to read and get lost in. Such beautiful descriptions and an amazingly captivating story. I just get lost in it and will continue to do so each time i re-read it because it mesmerises me and its an adventure all the way worthy a true legend.

This book picks up exactly where the last one ended and tells the story of the characters from the original series about 10 years later.
It is told through a multiple perspective so we get to know a lot of the original characters very well and see if their dreams of the future came true and how they ended up where they are today.
There are a few new characters and some characters from before become a lot more important.
A great way to continue the series but you do need to have read the previous books.

Well I spotted this was directed by Anna Paquin's brother and also had Stephen Moyer from True Blood on the cover, unfortunately they are not the main stars of the film. Rachel Blanchard of the TV series Clueless is the main lead.
This falls into the category of weird films, there isn't a lot of back story or explanation really into the why or what of what is going on. Reminded me a lot of Funny Games. Quite bloody and brutal, ok for a low budget film but a bit more plot would have be nice....and Anna Paquin!

Very well written
I love this book
I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.

Born To Be Wild
American Made- is a highly entertaining movie, thats based on a true story.
The plot: Barry Seal, a TWA pilot, is recruited by the CIA to provide reconnaissance on the burgeoning communist threat in Central America and soon finds himself in charge of one of the biggest covert CIA operations in the history of the United States. The operation spawns the birth of the Medellin cartel and almost brings down the Reagan White House.
If you havent watched this movie and like "Narcos", "Mindhuter", "Zodiac" and "Manhunt" than you will like this movie.

Robert Downey Jr. is fantastic
Contains spoilers, click to show
Iron man is fantastic. I dont think anyone else could portray Iron Man as well as Robert Downey Jr. He has captured the perfect amount of arrogance, sass and comedy in this character. I also love his vulnerability and subsequent power found from this with the shrapnel in his chest.
I love the whole idea that this could be true as the technology is quite believable. Jarvis and Pepper are great characters that really bring out the Iron Man character aswell.
The story is good with some interesting twists and turns.
