Twisted and dark
Deliciously dark and macabre
While this is not my usually fantasy book to pick up, I found myself being drawn into the nightmare unable to look away. The characters, while not very likeable, are interesting, and you do care where their story will end. It's been compared to Goremenghast, which I haven't read so can't compare, but it is well written. It's gothic steampunk, grim, dark fantasy, melancholic tragedy with horror sprinkled on top. I loved it and felt sad I'd finished it, but couldn't wait to get the next in the series.

I have been binge watching this with my mom and we both love the show. I'd heard from a few friends that the pacing is too slow and while I can see what they're talking about, I don't agree. I find the flashbacks and the ghost easter eggs as well as the ways the storylines are being brought together to be very satisfying. I really like that while it has them, it doesn't rely on jumpscares. The acting is hit or miss, but the main cast are all very talented. I would definitely recommend watching it, especially if you prefer old school horror.

A different Horror trip
I've been wanting to see this for quite a while, so glad it showed up on Netflix and appears to be made by them as well.
It's definitely one that likes to build on tension and how the characters react to their surroundings. More in common with the Descent than Blair Witch for me, which is a good thing. The ending was a bit abrupt but it least it gave some explanation of what was going on. Top marks for being a bit different to most horror films relying on jump scares.

Amazing nod to my childhood
Wow, simple as that!
Was so excited for this film and can safely say it didn't disappoint me. The storyline is brilliant and well thought out. The characters are likeable without being irritating. The most amazing part for me was watching the film over and over looking out for all the hidden characters from my childhood.
The icing on the cake was the epic battle with the Iron Giant, Mecha Godzilla and Gundam Wing!!!!!!!
Must watch for anyone born in 80s or 90s who loves games and fantasy.

Brilliant use of cars
Everything you expect from the franchise and more
Right, so let's just say this. It's a fast and furious film. So you know to expect endless action, car racing and extremely farfetched races, stunts and even storylines.
All this being said, the action is endless, I was always on the edge of my seat wondering what happened next. The film overall is amazing and the performances of the cast was really good as well. Nothing more needs to be said in regards to the fast franchise.

This is a lot of genre's put together for me. I think it was MC and dystopian.. but also touched on the main character being bipolar.. I wasn't sure what to think a bout this one but it was good. The characters kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I loved how possessive Hastie was because he needed to be. The world that was created was very well written. I felt like I could see that world.. and how different it was. It was an interesting story and if you enjoy dystopian I would highly recommend it.

A good debut from Renee Knight
At surface level, this is a really good psychological suspense/thriller book. However, you will find flaws if you look deeper. I couldn't really relate to any characters, I didn't particularly like or become attached to any of them, but the multi-layered family conflict was good and realistic.

Well made adaptation
I love Robert Galbraith’s (J. K. Rowling’s) novels and was very excited when I found out they were adapting it for tv. That excitement bittered a bit when I learned each “season” would only be 2-3 episodes long and would cover an entire book. There is a lot of material in the rich and detailed novels that would have lent themselves to a full length season. That being said, the show was very good. The casting, in my opinion, is excellent. I wish there was more!

On the app you cannot change song if you're not premium
Absolutely love this app.
Love this app, I pay £5 a month for premium as I am a student. Well worth the price. Have access to thousands of songs, can make unlimited playlists, have access to songs that come out on the same day.
The only downfall is that you cannot change the song unless you press shuffle which will choose a random song. This is due to not being a premium account.
