If you're a Mythology fan, this is an excellent book
When you enter the world through Shadow's eyes, you go from something simple like being recently released from prison to something much more explosive (discovering the world is much more complicated than you thought. All in all, it is a great fiction for someone that likes drabs of mythology, intricate character development, and throw backs of history.

Gorgeous Storyline
Adorable Characters
A Different Kind of Love Story
Just like Pan's Labrynth this is a gorgeous fairytale with a whole new twist. I enjoyed the magical layers and depth that went into this film. Although I know many found it slow in comparison to Pan's Labrynth, however this film was not meant to be an extension of his previous masterpiece, rather it's meant to be a masterpiece all on its own. Personally, I believe it's accomplished just this.
Not quite the story I was expecting - the book actually feels like bits of different stories have been randomly pieces together, often meaning things get a bit confusing.
As the story flows along, I also found myself liking the two main characters less and less, to the point of indifference, which makes the twist ending fall a bit flat.
There are some gripping moments along the way and the book is easy to read, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed overall.

<strong>It gets better</strong>
This is an high school romance with a twist. Emerson can read minds when she kisses or gets kissed. She uses this so called gift to do better in school by kissing all of the smartest boys. Until she finds out she is crushing on one.
While I loved the premise the execution made it seem more obsessive than it needed to be. If I enjoyed lip gloss I'm sure I would have liked it more.

A real hit or miss show for me.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy Black Mirror but the show can be a real hit or miss for me because when it's good it's freaking AMAZING! But when it drags I lose all interest. For me personally White Bear was my favorite episode if Season 2 and I really loved the twist they came up with but then you have a dumpster fire like the Waldo episode which I really hated.

Set after the first film. Newt is back in the UK and the Mom is adamant that the whole episode in the US was at the bidding of Dumbledore.
Credence is alive and is searching for his family which is revealed in a twist at the end of the film. The scene is set similar to Deathly Hallows pt 1 with FB3 and 4 looking to blow away the viewer.

Feb 8, 2018
I loved this book! it wasnt what i expected when i chose it but i wasnt disappointed.
The story is loosely based around peter pan and the lost boys and wendy but with a modern twist and set in the real world.
"Neverland" becomes a facility where experiments are carried out on children with the goal being that the children will develope special powers.
The story is easy to read and follow, the characters are engaging and loveable and i throughly enhoyed it.

Great twist at the end
I absolutely loved this book. The whole parallel universe stuff really got me thinking. The science wasn’t too high brow and the concept was really easy to understand. This book is unique and I haven’t read another quite like it. It left me wanting to know what happened to all of the other Jason’s that were left in the other worlds. I genuinely couldn’t put this book down.

Clint...sorry...Scot Eastwood
Enjoyable action flic
Dont get me wrong, not expecting it to win many awards and it was no where near as good as the first but....
It was fun to watch, nice little twist and it has a good cast to. Amara (spaeny) was by far the best one but we did enjoy counting how many times Scott was trying to copy his dad in the acting department. Overall, an enjoyable film.
