Meh
This was a strange one. The acting and cinematography were decent. The story had a twist or two that were semi-unexpected. But overall it was just an "ok" movie. Nothing great or anything. The description only scratches the surface of it. Is listed under horror but it wasn't scary, really. A little intense, at times, but not scary. If you can't find anything else, it's worth a watch.

I really enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down. the characters are well written and you get to know both of them. the writes makes this book come alive with every page you read. this is a fab romantic novel with added steamy hot scenes. the story line contains lots of twist and turns which help to keep you hooked.

Fun
Want sure what I'd get with this one because of so many mixed reviews. Turned out to be a really good movie. The acting was pretty good and the cinematography was great. The action sequences were really good and the story played out beautifully with a twist or two. Overall I'd say the 'naysayers' have other issues with this one because it's really fun and entertaining. Worth a watch!

This was a really cool adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. I love the dark twist (in opposition to the Disney, not the Grimm) Gaiman gives the story. I listened to the audio book and it was more of a story play than a regular reading of the story itself. All I can say was it was incredible. Great job Gaiman! I can't wait to see if you do something like this again!

Nicky Whelan is cast perfectly and puts in a convincing performance (2 more)
The storyline is somewhat believable - anyone with kids can relate to parts of it
It improves over time after a sluggish start
Why cast Nicholas Cage as an almost completely generic father? (3 more)
Big plot holes
Weak twist
Some very wooden acting from support cast, especially Natalie Eva Marie
An intriguing enough tale of deception let down through poor execution

After a convenience store robbery goes wrong, the villains take a family hostage in their own home. Unfortunately, the family has secrets that will create a nightmare for all involved. The twist on the hostage drama started out good, but it fell apart in the end when it got completely unbelievable.

Really enjoyed this book. It had a good flow to it and the switches between the three main characters was done well. It was an easy read and from the start I was intrigued to find out how the story was going to play out and how the main characters stories were going to join up. When they do, it doesn't disappoint and the twist made me gasp!!

Much better than the film
Having read this and the alternate version of twilight I can definitely say both are better than the film. The character description and story flow are much smoother and in depth. Not the best writing mind you but a lot better than some and it's a new twist on an old tale.
Really enjoyable book with some pretty memorable scenes and one liners.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I thought these book was great! I really enjoyed Sukey and her friendship with Vicky.
The description of the bloviatibg Jennifer in the beginning was really great stuff.
The mystery was pretty solid with a twist that you would have to be paying pretty close attention to get.
I really loved this book!

Who do you trust?
I really enjoyed this first season, the characters and acting was fantastic. The writing was brilliant, you don't know who to trust and you are drip fed information.
The new season has just started and highly recommend catching up with this first season as the from the trailers season 2 looks like it could be amazing.
