Even less plot than usual (1 more)

Not enough cars

This made me sad.

As a religious Fast & Furious fan this made me really, really upset. I have loved alllllll of the previous films and had mid to high expectations for this baby. I was sorely disappointed... The plot jumped so badly that I actually got up in the middle of the film and asked the attendant if something had gone wrong and we'd missed a bit! (Embarrassing!) It completely skipped my favourite part of the movies - the bit where they gather and introduce the team. Gone! It didn't even lay out the plot step by step for those among us needing the extra hints. It really made me sad.

Accurate portrayal of life as a retail employee is hilarious (0 more)

Accurate portrayal of life as a retail employee is depressing (0 more)

Retail employees, revel in this glory!

It's brilliant, it's very Aussie (in a good way) and it has just enough cringe-worth moments that it doesn't go overboard. If you've never worked in customer service it may be hard to relate to. It can also get a little crude for taste occasionally. Overall, pretty entertaining.

Amazingly unique anti-heroine (1 more)

Terrifying concept

Gave me the creeps. (0 more)

Thrilling.

As one not usually dipping into the creepy thriller end of the book pool it gave me nightmares but I loved it anyway. You still root for the main character despite the murderous inclinations.

Freaky photos

Decent?

I did enjoy the book and finished the series. It's worth the read but not hitting it out of the park like it had the potential to.

I couldn't put this book down.

I wish this book had been around 10 years ago. It is so rare to find a book with such a strong teen female lead that doesn't end up completely centred around teen love/lust. I loved Briar rabbit and the writing was compelling enough to bring me to tears at the more intense parts of the story. It's a great read that I couldn't put down.
