A twist in every chapter

I usually stick to what I know. I have a favourite authors and I to be honest. I'm scared of trying new things when it comes to crime fiction. It's hard to find a good author who keeps you gripped and has a very realistic storyline.
When I saw this book in my local supermarket It was a boredom 'thing'.
I had nothing to read at home that was new and it 'looked' good, and it was.

The storyline gripped me from the very first page. The twists and turns in this book are so well written and linked in with everything going on that you forget how far into the book you have read.
I finished this book in less than 48 hours. Yes 2 days.
A crime unearthed, but who? When? How?

Trust me. This is a great read and I can guarantee that the very last chapter will have you amazed.

Surprisingly ok

I remember when FD5 was announced (hilariously titled 5nal Destination initially), I was just completely not bothered. After originally being drawn in by the original, and then being subjected to a series of progressively crappier sequels, not even the prospect of sudden ridiculous gore could reel me in.

I finally got round to watching it at home, and in all honesty, FD5 is actually pretty enjoyable! For the first time in ages, we are presented with characters who are relatively likable!
Plot wise, it's all very much the same, although it does spend more time with the cheating-death-by-killing-someone-else idea.

The deaths are pretty creative (that gym scene though) without feeling too over the top like previous installments.

The film ends on an inspired and unexpected twist, which elevates FD5 over it's predecessors, and arguably delivers the best overall movie experience in the series to date!
