It was a quick read and kept your interest.  As I believe this is her first book, it was pretty good.  The overall appeal would most likely be to teenage girls.

It was very good.  It would be a little difficult for someone not having familiarity with the history of the times.  But, I enjoyed it a lot.

pretty good, granted it wasn't as in depth or epic as some of his previous works (I.E. the professional, the fifth element) and due to the run time there wasn't as much character development, but the concept was great and the philosophies/ideas were portrayed clearly in a visually appealing style and it seemed to me like the director was really just pointing out certain things/viewpoints that we as a species should be looking at and the "action" portion of the movie just seemed to be there to draw the viewer into the "larger scope" of what the movie was actually about. Pretty well done on the acting,cinematography, and musical score. This movie probably won't be for everyone, but if you enjoy pondering the existence of life and what all that entails and enjoy a bit gratuitous violence thrown in the mix to "tone down" the deeply philosophical elements of the film in a balanced way then you'll probably really like it. If you're a hardcore action fan and just want to be "entertained" and not have to think too deep then you probably will not enjoy this title. Overall IMO I give it a passing grade in sea of hollywood Crap movies and hope Besson continues to create memorable works of cinema.

It's not the best fantasy story ever, and i hoped for something else in the end, but it was pretty nice

Had low expectations of it, but it was more enjoyable taht I thought.
While no masterpiece by any means, its also not as bad as some people seem to think, though that in my own opinion of course.
If your intrigued, go for it. Good bit of entertainment.

It was good.  I would like to totally believe it, but I am still a bit skeptical.

Cooper has written a fairly entertaining action novel for the 21st century - I'm just torn about how good I think it is.

It's written for a specific audience, I think...I'm just not quite that audience member, or at least half of one - but I suspect I was looking for something different than what Cooper wanted to write. It's the literary equivalent of a summer movie - it wants only to entertain, and doesn't ask a lot of you as a reader.

The pacing is almost flawless, and I'm certain it would adapt well to teleplay or screenplay. I wasn't wild about several of the plot elements, but it's Mr. Cooper's story to tell. And to be sure, the themes that one can confront in this particular genre can be fairly hefty; there's a strong argument for not going very far into certain concepts if one is afraid of going into them badly; if that's the case, I don't blame Mr. Cooper for taking a fairly shallow approach.

It's just this: it's the story of a man trapped in a shallow, violent game. The problem I experienced is that the confrontation and solution to his problem lacked as much nuance as the game world. In the words of a great Texas songwriter - when I scratched the surface, I found more surface.

I'm debating whether or not to pick up the second book. I might. Haven't decided.

Mechanically, there are some errors that require some editing - grammatical/usage/spelling in a couple of places, but other than being mildly distracting from the flow of the read, it's pretty well put-together.

From the reviews I read, it was made out to be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime event.  Don't get me wrong, there is some great cinematography and some amazing browns being caught, but it seemed a bit like the Blair Witch project: a lot promised, but not a lot delivered.  That being said, I still think it is worth watching; maybe just borrow a friend's copy.

Pretty good, but not all it's cracked up to be. I'm not sure why people make it such a big deal.

It was stimulating and interesting. What it lacked in story it made up for in style. The music, cinematography, lighting, actresses, pretty much anything on set was fantastic. One may say the acting feels a bit robotic, but I feel like that was intentional. I loved pretty much everything about this movie other than the ending. The ending kind of falls flat for me. It just felt unnessecary. We get she was consumed in some way, ending on Ruby alone might have been fine. Wouldn't change the number of questions you would have after the movie anyway. Otherwise, it was a refreshing film. Very out there, as pretty as the mc, and just plain interesting. Its not groundbreaking or the best film, but it does warrent a watch or two. If you like this movie I would definitely suggest you watch Under the Skin, might not be on prime, but it has sort of the same vibe and abstraction.

It was alright.  Most of the material I had already experienced.  Guys who want to be players might find it an interesting read.

I wouldn't have been compelled to buy it if I hadn't done so for my small group at church.  It was pretty good.  Clever writing with entertaining style.

I thought it was decent.  I watched the whole movie.

Solid 3 stars. I was not bored and mildly curious how it would turn out. If you are paying attention you will figure it out about halfway through. If you miss one specific line you might not figure it out till much later. The final ending was solid and not cheesy IMHO. I enjoyed it, and truly, have seen far worse movies.

Better than I thought since some critics gave it mixed reviews.  I would love to see it again.

I liked it well enough. Not the best ever but definitely one of the better movies to come out in recent years.
