I liked the way the story was told through the eyes of a child, played by Jude Hill, about the shared experiences of his and his family's life during a period of unsettled religious differences on the streets of Belfast. It truly gave you a peek of the directors childhood and the troubled times he faced. Show less

Not to give too much away, the story centers around a horrific murder that took place in one of the park’s rides, The Horror House and also about Devin becoming acquainted with a dying child and his mother. If you are looking for a typical Stephen King horror, you have come to the wrong place. The best way, I can describe this wonderful book is a coming of age story, mixed in with mystery and a dash of ghost stories. I definitely give this book a two thumbs up. Show less

A grumpy/sunshine + fake dating romance that was made even better with the addition of science and an academic setting. I’ve already placed a hold on the author’s next book, Love on the Brain, because I can’t wait to see what she’ll write next! Show less

In the years since they’ve been apart, Itsuki has accomplished his dream of becoming an architect, but has also suffered a spinal cord injury that’s left him in a wheelchair. This manga series does a great job at highlighting prejudices faced by people with disabilities, as well as some of the obstacles that they face. I was surprised by how much I learned about spinal cord injuries from the first volume alone and look forward to reading and learning more as the series continues. Show less

Through incredible use of both humour and realism, the author Nevada Barr - well known for her Anna Pigeon mystery series - takes us along on Rose's journey to re-acquiring her memory and her life. In turns, I was laughing out loud only to later be horrified knowing what Rose was facing actually happens! This book would appeal to readers in all stages of life who appreciate a very clever plot.
