It was an OK book.  Not as good as I would have hoped.

I am disappointed that this book didn't turn out as good as I had hoped.  There was not enough character development & that is important to me.  The protagonists are good people & I wanted it to turn out good for them.  Some did & some didn't.  Ward has led a strange life up to the beginning of the book.  He was an "only child" & didn't even know his parents & they didn't know him.  He had almost nothing to say or think about is past.  His brother was a surprise & not a good one but the story didn't really explain how all that happened.  Or maybe it was in some of what I speed read over.  I just got tired of the same scenes & thoughts over & over & had to skip some of it to get to the end.  I find that I am not reading in the same way I used to & I want to read the beginning & usually want to know what happens but I don't seem to always enjoy the writing in between.  Mr. Smith is a very good writer & I think it is my change & not the writers fault.  It is a good book & I may read the rest of the trilogy.

I love horror movies, and generally I can find the good in almost all the ones I have watched. While this movie isn't bad per say, it really doesn't have much of anything going for it outside of the gore factor. In a word, I found it boring. It borrows heavily from many other movies, movies that are better and did it better. Disappointing to say the least, I expected this movie to live up to the hype. It did not. 2 and a half stars.

I was expecting more from the game. The game is not that good to play. It gets you bored in the first five minutes

Not as good as I expected.  But Denise Grover Swank is a great author.  This series just wasn't as interesting to me.

Interesting, but not as good as I anticipated. I was disappointed with Brian Cranston's performance. Seeing the facts about how the communism issue was handled back then was very well done. The younger generations have no idea about what transpired.

Not as good as I wanted it to be.  The Babadook is not seen as much as he needs to be seen.  Still scary though.

I must admit that I did not enjoy this book as much as my friend said I would.  It was a good story but not as I had expected.  w

First time having seen, and while good, not as good as I was expecting. Maybe I was expecting too much based on the stars,

After reading the first book in a day, I was so excited to see how the series would finish.  Unfortunately, it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be.  Yes, you get a HEA, and yes, everything ends up working out the way I wanted, but I was left feeling disappointed.

Anna keeps working while Xavier is suspended, and he tries to protect her, and she tries to protect him, blah blah blah...  Maybe it's because the first book was SO good that I was expecting so much more.

It wasn't as good as I thought it would be.  It read more like a research/text book.  Didn't finish the book it didn't hold my interest.

Not as good as I expected. The shape never seems to be the same. It's just weird. Comfort wise it's good. Does not stay very cool at night.

The movie "Animal" was not a bad movie I would say, but it was not as good as I was expecting. I would grade it 2 (half way) in a scale of 5. In "MY OPINION", I would say that the rating of this movie would probably depend on someone's age, social background, life experiences, knowledge or level of education and IQ among other factors. I am sure that other people may rate this movie higher than I. My general rating would be equal to saying "it was OK" but that's all. The plot itself and the details of the movie had too many glitches for me to rate it better than just OK.

Overall, not as good as I had hoped for.  If you've seen "Poltergeist" and/or "Paranormal Activity" this movie has elements of both.
The story follows a family who has just moved into a new house and starts experiencing strange occurrences (a story line that has been used way too many times, imo).  Then one of their son's falls into a coma, for no apparent reason.  Bring in the psychic stage left.
Honestly, I would have stopped this movie after 15 minutes in, but I wanted to see where it was going.  Finally stopped it after an hour and 15 minutes.  I didn't care about the ending, and I really should have been on the end of my seat wanting to see the ending.
So, the story wasn't all that great, it lacked uniqueness and depth.  The characters were not that compelling either, and therefore the acting wasn't all that intense (and it should have been based on the scenario they were put into).  The directing, also, was a little ho-hum for a scary intense movie, like this should have been.  Establishing shots are really just boring, in my opinion.
I look to issues with the directing, and mostly, the writing. It needed to be a better story.
I wouldn't buy this for my collection, nor would I watch it again.

From the description of the book I was expecting a good quick read, the story line was good and had possibilities, but it was slow and parts of the beginning were just boring, it picked up later in the book but it still did not quite live up to my expectations.  The characters were interesting especially the Fairy God Mother, Sarafina, Gloria had low expectations for her future and was willing to settle, Greg was such a science nerd it took Sarafina interfering to help him see what he was missing and to make him more self assured.  I voluntarily agreed to read and review a copy of this book.
