The Gift That Keeps On Giving
The Game- is a excellent mystery drama thriller. The suspense, the mystery, the twist. David Fincher did a excellent job. Micheal Douglas and Sean Penn also did a excellent job.

The plot: Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) is a successful banker who keeps mostly to himself. When his estranged brother Conrad (Sean Penn) returns on his birthday with an odd gift -- participation in a personalized, real-life game -- Nicholas reluctantly accepts. Initially harmless, the game grows increasingly personal, and Orton begins to fear for his life as he eludes agents from the mysterious game's organizers. With no one left to trust and his money gone, Orton must find answers for himself.

Its a excellent film and a must see.

I liked the idea for the story--bad-arse rocker looking bodyguard and his "Princess" charge fall in love. Opposites attracting.

I liked Alex--the above said bad-arse rocker looking bodyguard; Mohawk, tattoo's and all. I really don't know how he put up with her at times.

I just wasn't so fond of Sasha--she really was the brat that she was dubbed as for most of the story. The way she acted at times I wanted to smack her or strangle her.

As for the rest...I wasn't expecting that little twist near the end and then I found the ending a little "Ugh".

But if I ignore a lot of what Sasha got up to I liked it.

A gripping read
I love it when you pick up a book that you know nothing about, from an author you've never read before and it turns out to be a fantastic and addictive read.

This is marvellous Victorian thriller set from the points of view of two flawed yet highly interesting characters. The central plot of murder, intrigue and abuse is written very well and is a brilliant page turner. I literally couldn't put this book down. It's not perfect and gets a tad rambly at times with some slightly old school language, but for the most part it's such an entertaining read. And the ending was completely unexpected and such a great twist, I really didnt see it coming.

Keeps you guessing
Brilliant cast
Not your usual storyline
Absolutely brilliant, could not recommend more!
I find with a lot of shows that it's easy to predict what the story is leading up to, but not with this one. It is unlike any other series I have watched and keeps you on your toes. Multiple times I thought I'd figured out where it was going but OH NO, another twist gets thrown in.

I cannot wait for the next series after the cliff hanger series 1 ended on. I'm sure it will be just as thought provoking and exciting as the first.

(If you like to read, I think people who like Manifest would enjoy reading 'The Three' by Sarah Lotz)
