James Koppert (2698 KP) rated The Day The Rain Came in Books

Dont judge a book by its cover
I thought I was really clever and sussed a twist but I was absolutely wrong. Emma Mason has bravely attempted a colloquial style novel, very hard to achieve well and yet achieves it with aplomb. Brilliant twisty narrative about twins and resentment leading to murderess blood lust. There are so many crime books it's refreshing to read something a little different. An incredible debut.

Drama set at the end of the 19th century, starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as warring stage magicians, with able (acting) support from the likes of Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson.
It's just a pity the film is slow, plodding, and has a 'twist' concerning Christian Bale's character that you can see coming from rather early on (although not so much the one with Hugh Jackman's character)

Unexpectedly good film, as I was expecting a poor gangster movie clone.
This is a very twist and turn revenge thriller with a massively high body count and influenced by both Tarantino and Hitchcock although it is a little predictable in execution.
Hartnett was the new rising star at that moment in time and shows great promise alongside *Sir* Ben Kingley and the always great Morgan Freeman, worthy of anyones time!

After... certainly not happily ever
This movie had sat on my Netflix watch list for ages, I continued to by pass it daily until I took the plunge. I was glad to watch it, taken in by the story, horrified by the “twist” and rolling along with the predictability. I enjoyed the fresh faced casting, the filming locations also... worth a watch if you like Young Adult drama

Decent but not surprising
Contains spoilers, click to show
Overall a decent movie. There was not that twisty storyline that kept me engaged. There was a slight expected twist towards the end, but nothing that blew my mind away. Simon Pegg did a decent job, but his body transformation for the role was insane. Atmosphere was good, not great. Its a good Saturday early evening watch before a true blockbuster Thriller.

Amazing origin story!
I loved this film. Emma Stone plays an amazing evil genius and I love that Cruella has always been into fashion. Explains her obsession with it in the original animation. I also like the subtle nods to the original like Anita and Pongo and Perdita! Adding the extra twist of Lost family and death makes it so much better! Really amazing and would definitely watch again!

Watched last week and I did like it I was surprised by the twist near the end of the movie where u discover the the secret of this 50s community it looks so perfect but there's some thing off about it. Best part of the movie is Florence pugh brilliant performance the set design the costumes everything about it is so the 1950s overall good film

Well.
This is hard to describe.
Which is probably to be expected from the author of The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Slightly dated now (set in the 1980s, we're now in 2025), this is a sort of time travelling whodunnit with a twist of romance thrown in, that probably deserves more to be read than to be described.
Not as famous as THHGTTG series, perhaps, but still worth reading.
