Why does it seem that EVERY actor in this movie was absolutely brilliant in playing their parts?  Normally, you only see 2 or 3 or at most a handful of brilliant actors that stand out in any one movie.  Is it because the  movie had such a great script?  Is it because the directors did such a good  job?  etc.  etc...  or is it because all the actors really excelled in  their acting ability in this movie?  I can't tell.

He's done it again!

Absolute genius. James Blackthorne is the ultimate fantasy writer of our time. His characters are both sinister and lovable, and his beautiful writing rests in the delicate paradoxical nook of being both in-your-face and properly reserved.

This book will make you fall in LOVE with reading. I read the whole thing in one sitting. I just couldn't help it. I was late to work because of it, but when I told my boss it was Blackthorne he said he was a fan as well and that there was no need to worry, ha!

Brilliant writing, just brilliant.

Just one word comes to my mind after reading this book...BRILLIANT!  Why has no-one done this before? This book brought back all the feels from some of my favorite books & I was pleasantly surprised on a few that I have not had the pleasure to read yet. I now see a trip to my local bookstore in my near future to pick up these literary gems! I truly enjoyed reading this book! If you have ever found yourself fast forwarding to your favorite scenes in a movie or flipping through a book to find that one part that makes you heart soar, then you HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK! It will bring ALL THE FEELS (trust me)! I'm now going to raid my DVD collection to find these scenes on screen (So Excited!!!) What a Great Read! Highly Recommend!

Brilliant and Captivating!  Frantz's writing is powerful and intriguing... It lures you in sweetly and keeps the pages turning at times at a frantic pace.  To say this was a pleasure to read does not even do it justice.  Frantz's storytelling is gifted and I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.

Having worked with Steve on a nano-scale for one of his recent articles, I must say that this book is brilliant!  Simply brilliant.

Stevens ability to broach the subject of becoming a top writer on linked in, amongst other platforms I'm sure as well, was quite well done. As I read the book in two days, I say this work will be quintessential to those aspiring to achieve similar success (right there with the masses).

You can't and won't go wrong on reading this book!!!  I've already suggested it to many whom I know for their next purchase.  And as for Steve himself, good on you mate!  Brilliant work.

This is a brilliant book!  I am so late with the review, but this book was so good I have read it twice!  I will definitely be keeping this author on a must buy list!  Try it. You'll love it!

This book has EASILY moved into my top 10 favorites of all time!  What a brilliant concept!  Although I personally never wondered about Jesus H. Christ's childhood, this book has cleared up so many questions I DID have (like what the heck does the H stand for anyway?...)! Ok, ok, I'm kidding...it's only fiction!

Really...this book was brilliant, inventive, ingenious, profound....and blasphemous....all at the same time.  Biff's renditions of conversations, scenarios, etc. were hilarious.  It's been a long time since I read a fiction book that really made me laugh out loud.  Even with the stares from other airplane passengers, I wasn't going to put it down to prevent the laughter!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by this reader.  I wasn't disappointed and you won't be either....so, AMEN to that!

This book is quite brilliant! The opening paragraph explains the trajectory of the story! You understand immediately that Bert is going to steal Beverly, and even to the end of the book, he will stay loyal to her and the newly christened baby, but oh the wonder and stories in between. Anne Padgett is a master of weaving the intricacies of human beings who make up the families that grace these pages.

She had much to work with. Beverly had two girls, but Bert and Therese had four children, two boys and two girls! So Bert got two new children and the four came to visit for whole summers, and the two girl's dad had them for two weeks. It hardly seemed fair, but the children made do, and they were quite loyal to their true siblings as well as their steps. This tended to get them in trouble, since Beverly was not the most judicious of child care providers,her eyes not wide open as they should have been. And Bert seemed to have much more work to accomplish when the whole fan-damily was there. So consequently, there was a lot of getting up to all the things that kids can get up to, and the author has uncommon ways to demonstrate what children might do.

And the sister, most loyal, forgets that for awhile. Enamored and pleased with all the attention she receives as she relates all the mischief and fun and happenings that rag-tag group had experienced growing up. Her author friend used it all to write a wonderful book himself. She never guessed of the hurt this would cause.

It is all part of this richly textured story, and I am hoping that those who read this over long review will purchase the book, and live their lives too. You will not go wrong!

This album is simply amazing enough said...I can't come out of my zone from amazement.  And to have Stokley on Background Vocals is an ingenious combination.  I so Love Mint Condition...and Stokley's unique vocals add so much flavor.  I am so stuck on this album and Proud of the Brother.  Bear Witness To Greatness!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The setting is so completely different from anything in popular fiction, making the characters and plot twists totally unexpected. Who knew that Book collecting was such an intriguing subject in it's own right. But when you add a murder and a sociopath for a subplot, the story takes over your world. Bravo Mr. Dunning and thank you.

Brilliantly clever, beautifully written, with an absolute corker of a plot - you won't be able to put this one down!
Not sure I want to go into hospital anytime soon though...

I read this book in Hebrew, and I am waiting for more copies of the English translation to re-appear on Amazon, as I very much wish to send copies to many of my friends as presents for various occasions.  The book is brilliant:  It presents a few existing theories for each of the observations described in the different chapters, without pushing one over the other.  However, the emerging picture is that humans rose  to their undisputed rulers and controllers of earth by having the ability to imagine things that do not exist at all... Absolutely fascinating.  It is written very well  with humor, and after the first chapter, you will find it difficult to stop reading (unless you want to take a few minutes after every several pages  to contemplate the wealth of described facts and the new ideas!)

I chose to read this book because of previous great reviews from other readers, all the while a bit sceptical of their interpretations.  I can truly report that I'm hooked!  I couldn't put it down and have now downloaded the entire series!  This story line is extremely clever.  I'm typically not a fan of this genre, but this book is so well written and interesting.  I can't wait to have my husband read this - I know he'll love it too!  Now on to the next one without delay...

Master storyteller Josh Lanyon has written something truly brilliant: a gift for his legion of Adrien English Mysteries fans. Stranger Things Have Happened is a "choose your own adventure" book. You read along, and at set points in the story, you get to choose in what direction the plot will go. If you don't like the way a particular plot point plays out, go back and make another choice. But you do have to be careful with your choices, because poor Adrien's life is constantly hanging in the balance!

Essentially, this book is multiple retellings of the first AE mystery, Fatal Shadows, and that book needs to be read first to fully appreciate STHH. I also think the other four books in the five-book AE series should be read to pick up on additional tidbits that are sprinkled throughout.

Josh's spot on sense of humor, always a bonus in any of his stories, is on full display here. More than ever, he has allowed himself to write an amazing array of crazy/wacky scenarios that had me laughing so hard I could barely see the pages. He shows our beloved Adrien & Jake behaving in ways and saying things we have never seen or heard from them before. It is outrageously hilarious!

But with that said it is not all a laugh a minute; there are loving, tender moments too. Josh continues to write the most subtle, beautiful, intimate scenes. And some of the endings are so sweet and really quite perfect.

IMO what the remarkable Mr. Lanyon has accomplished with the writing of this book is to give us nothing less than a treatise on creativity. It is not to be missed.

Plus, in addition to all this book offers the reader, it has gorgeous illustrations by the talented artist, Catherine Dair. Available in a color or black/white version.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Brilliant! I read this on a plane journey in less than two hours, and was gripped by each story, wanting to move to the next!

This is a very clever collection of paranormal short stories, each very different, each has its own story which at times does not end up the way you expect.  Both authors have a similar style of writing, and do horror/paranormal really well.  I like the 'doors' rather than chapters, as it truly makes you feel like you are entering a different world with each story, taking you on a journey, sometimes interfering on a situation that makes the skin on your arms prickle!  That last story - wow! I had no idea it was going there- you must read!

I would love to see a horror/paranormal novel by one (or both) of these authors.
