Firm Family Favourite
This has become a firm family favourite. We love the concept of this game and play it regularly. It has become quite evil at times when we have blocked someone from completing their route and consequently losing them loads of points. This devilish part of the strategy adds a very competitive twist to a really fun, intense game.

This is one of those books that took me a little while to get into but it really burst to life in the middle portion. The big twist in this grabbed me as interesting and took me along for the duration despite a lack of interest in the characters.
The engaging writing really kept this book going for me despite guessing exactly what was going on way too soon to be fun.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy

Gread read
This is the first book I have read from this author, I'll definitely look into more from him. The suspense the story as a whole is great. The twist and turns challenge the morals and ethics of the different characters involved. The ending shocked me, so much that I had to reread a few chapters. Great novel the suspense will have you hooked in the first few chapters. I couldn't put it down.

breaths live into an old story
beautiful visuals , great direction from Branagh and solid acting from a stellar cast makes this unneeded remake a must see ,slightly different from the original film and book Branagh is no Ustinov but is very good in the roll , with some minor "Politically Correct"changes but they dont take anything away from a great film ......I`m looking forward to the sequel Evil Under the Sun

So close to a super super film
Contains spoilers, click to show
I try to not publish spoilers they're unavoidable here to explain why this only a 7/10 film. The first hour is great, building up the story leading to what you think will be an epic climax. The story starts with James McAvoy's 24 personalities having kidnapped 4 cheerleaders and Bruce Willis' David Dunn on the hunt to rescue them. After a confrontation they're taken to a psych hospital for evaluation which happens to be where they're keeping Samuel L Jackson's Mr Glass. All of this is awesome with the star of the show being McAvoy flowing through his personalities is a truly epic piece of acting. So the film plays out and leads to a good fight towards the end but then it goes a bit weird. You start to notice plot holes like this psych hospital only seems to have 1 orderly or security guard on duty at any one time. Or when McAvoy and Jackson are trying to escape they go through a security gate and get buzzed through straight away even though neither has their faces covered. It's like 'those 2 guys kinda look like 2 of the 3 highly dangerous multiple murderers that we're here guarding? Oh well!'...then we get into the obligatory M.Mike Salmonhands twist involving a secret society that just seemed uneeded and tacked on for no other reason than the film didn't have a twist...so there you have it. So close to being a truly great film but sloppy writing let it down.

Don't lose your head!
I really enjoyed this series which has a different twist on the Headless horseman tale. Plenty of Action scenes, fights, magic and flash backs to the War with the British. I was impressed with the overall look and feel of the series. The effects for the headless horseman are up there with the film. A mix of the film with a Buffy, Supernatural vibe.
