Unexpected twist (0 more)
A bit slow at first (0 more)
This novel, which has fire as a central theme, is a slow burn (pun very much intended). At times it seemed to be infused with drudgery and despair, not only due to the depressing topics of domestic abuse and betrayal, but also because of the main characters’ inability to really understand their feelings and emotions. That being said, the climax does not disappoint as it brings about truths and twists long taken for granted since the first few pages.

Found another great sci-fi drama/ thriller on Netflix called "Ex Machina"(not Netflix exclusive). The acting and cinematography were really good. The story unfolds beautifully and ends with a really good twist. This is a really thought provoking movie about technology and keeps you interested throughout. Alicia Vikander was amazing. She played her part perfectly. There is some full frontal female nudity, but not sex(deals with robots that look human). Not really for kids, but this one is really worth a watch!

It really makes you think about the world we live in. (0 more)
I can't really think of anything. (0 more)
A usual and interesting book
This book is about data and how newspapers and politicians manipulate it to make things appear negative as that's what works best for their viewpoint. Hans talks about how to stop data that isn't interpreted correctly as well as discussing the progression the world has made. Their is a sad twist at the end of the book so do read it all the way through.

The Good Place is a fun, silly and surreal sit-com about redemption. It is set in an after life where only good people go. But the main character is not a particularly good person and realises she doesn't belong there. This realisation takes her on a journey of self-improvement so can stay in The Good Place. However there is a mind-blowing twist at the end of season one that changes everything. It's a rare thing to have a thought provoking sitcom.

I've read some slow burns that have irritated me no end because nothing seems to happen until the twist but this isn't the case here, there's always something new to learn and it made the book difficult to put down. There were twists that I never saw coming and although by the time we learn who the body is it isn't so much of a shock anymore, there are still surprises to come.
