A normal story with an interesting King spin
This starts off this starts off as a normal and interesting tale of a wife escaping her abusive husband, but in true King style, it goes completely off the scale with its supernatural twist. In all honesty, I found some of the supernatural side a little too bonkers, but it is still an enjoyable read, albeit maybe a bit on the long side.

[Beyond the Fortuneteller's Tent] by [Kristy Tate] was a great twist on YA romance. It involves time travel and finding your true love. The adventures and twists make this story different than your typical YA paranormal romance (a genre too filled with vampires).
I compared it to the [Outlander] series but PG because I would be disturbed to see my students reading [Galbadon] but would gladly recommend the [Beyond] books.

Gut wrenching build-up, jaw dropping twist
You'll hate the protagonist. He's an arrogant womanizer and a spineless twit. But does he deserve to be punished for it?
That's the question you'll ask yourself throughout. While I hardly empathised with his plight, the climax is a slap around the face. And the conclusion is equally unusual. Expect to cringe throughout but hold on right to the end - it's worth it.

A little slow at the beginning
Interesting book
This book is a little slow to start off. That would be my biggest criticism of it. However, once it gets going, it's a roller coaster ride from there. The book just gets more interesting the further you go. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to read a good book.

Elegantly Filmed
Making Action Classy
A Fun And Elegant Movie
This new twist to a secret service has put elegance and honor to a modern day spy movie and as few realize has an actual background in real history that brings a complete brilliance to the whole film. Along with being a heart whelming tale about coming of age this film offers a little something for everyone.

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!
