Anyway, still very entertaining and I cannot wait for what's more to come. Niragi and Last Boss basically jumped out of the manga onto the screen, crazy that they found actors who could embody them that well.
I found the Side story quite interesting, however, I was confused by the game since I felt like the rules were not really revealed. I like the idea of the Four of Hearts, however, I would like it a bit reworked (mainly the revelation of the rules) but the mind game whether you trust the other or not was just phenomenal. Thought I really thought that Chishiya was participating and not Arisu, I was surprised by that turn. ...more
Wow, I keep enjoying this so much! I have to say that I probably enjoyed the action part and Chishiya's plan a bit more in the adaptation but still soWow, I keep enjoying this so much! I have to say that I probably enjoyed the action part and Chishiya's plan a bit more in the adaptation but still so much fun. I have to say that I was blown away by the fact that the adaptation Niragi looks like he jumped out of the manga pages. The actor did so well! And the thing is when you google the actor, Dori Sakurada, you would never believe that's him! I really like that more characters are given space to have more development, really hope to see more of An! ...more
Wow, I'm speechless. I knew what was gonna happen and I'm still speechless. I loved how we got more background for the characters mixed with the heartWow, I'm speechless. I knew what was gonna happen and I'm still speechless. I loved how we got more background for the characters mixed with the heartbreak of the game. I have to say that I really like what the manga did with Shibuki, it made her character surprisingly likeable.
This game is really intriguing, I wonder if there was a way how to crack it or there was no other way.
So far I have to say that I'm quite surprised how close the adaptation followed the manga, mostly there are only subtle changes. And if there are bigger ones (view spoiler)[the first game (hide spoiler)] it totally makes sense because it would be hard to bring it to the screen or it would not translate very well. Cannot wait to read the rest of the manga. ...more
Wow, this was so good! And I thought that I liked Chishiya in the adaptation but I feel like I might like him here even more. Best character ever. AnyWow, this was so good! And I thought that I liked Chishiya in the adaptation but I feel like I might like him here even more. Best character ever. Anyway, I have to say that this was full of action but at the same time it managed to provide a pretty good background story for several characters. I would say very well done....more
Why is there so much pressure with the first book of the year to be good? Why does it feel like it sets the tone for the rest of the year?

Anyway, before Christmas, I was blown away by the Alice in Borderland adaptation. I knew that I had to read the manga as well.
And I have to say that I loved this one as well. It is similar enough that I can see the characters I know from the series. But at the same time, there are differences between the two, so, I was really curious to see what will happen.
However, I have to say that I felt like without the knowledge of the adaptation I could potentially find the first chapters somewhat confusing.
But the best part so far is Karube whom I like way more than in the adaptation. Here he is just the best.
Anyway, I can totally recommend both, the manga and the adaptation as well. I cannot wait to read the rest....more
I read this book after watching the movie because it was the first time I heard about it.
First, I have to say that I liked the movie very much and I'I read this book after watching the movie because it was the first time I heard about it.
First, I have to say that I liked the movie very much and I've seen it several times. The scenes from In-Between are one of my all-time favourites. And the moment when Susie's father destroys the ships in bottles is just the best; it keeps popping on my Youtube because I just watched so many times. So, if I go a couple of moths without watching it, Youtube is like: "Here, watch it."
Usually, I'm not much of an audiobook gal, but if there is a version which was narrated by Saoirse Ronan, I'm gonna listen to it!
My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.
Anyway, why am I talking about a movie here, right? Because I saw it first, I did not compare it with the book, and I believe if I knew the book previous to watching the movie, I would see it in a different light. However, right now, I see them as two separate entities, there is a movie I enjoy, and a book which is fantastic and both have the power to break my heart.
“And I was gone.”
It's very hard to describe this book without spoiling much. All I'm going to say that even reading quotes gives me the "tension" feeling in my jaw, which I usually have right before I'm about to cry. It just breaks my heart. Because of Susie. Because of the real Susies who go through the same thing she did. Because of their families. And because Georges Harveys exist in the real world.
“The living deserve attention, too.”
But I have to say that this book is right up my alley, I enjoy books when people die and get a chance to relive their last day to make things right, where they are still there and watch their families. It might not be for everyone — definitely something to consider before picking up this book....more
So, I've seen the movie several times when it was on TV, and I have to say that I even watched a scene or two a couple of dozen times on Youtube. Yes,So, I've seen the movie several times when it was on TV, and I have to say that I even watched a scene or two a couple of dozen times on Youtube. Yes, the action and visuals are fantastic. (Okay, except the one where the guy tears his own tooth, yuck!) But after reading the comments where people were angry at the movie, saying that it does not hold a candle to the book, I knew I had to read it. And yes, I do agree that the only things the movie took from the book were the zombies and Israel building a wall. Oh, and the title.
Right away, I was very surprised by the format of this book; it was not all what I was expecting. And the more I think about it; I believe it would be better if I picked up an audiobook instead of a book. Yeah, shocking, I never thought I would say such a thing. Every interview is done with a different person, so, soon I stopped paying attention to their names, so when they again appeared later in the book I had a hard time connecting them with their previous chapters.
Also, like one third into the book, I got stuck after several boring chapters where I seriously considered DNFing this book, but then I pushed through, and yes, it was worth it.
I loved that we got to see how so many different parts of the world battled with the zombies. The different approaches, what do to the countries, did they go all savage? Did they bomb their own people? Did they just lose all control? That was fantastic to watch.
And surprisingly, this book made me even laugh! I just loved the boy who almost missed the zombies because he was focused on his computer. I did not expect that.
That's the one thing you can always depend on; as we're fighting on war, we're always preparing for the next one.
I did not very much grasp how they were suddenly able to fight the zombies when they previously failed with much better equipment but alright. But I have to say that zombie cleaning is funny to imagine. Especially of those underwater, I bet it will be fun if a zombie managed to get stuck in the Mariana Trench.
However, the scene I was sort of hoped for was post-war when some scientists have a zombie in a lab for studying, that would be fantastic! I honestly would love to see some experiments on these creatures. The book stated that it seemed that the state of the zombies deteriorated, but I wonder what would happen if they maybe starved for years. So many possibilities!
What sort of surprised me is that I expected that when the humans would go so close to extinction that the environment would get better, no factories running, no one is dumping anything in the water etc. but it was otherwise and it sort of made sense! There had to be so many fires; it's terrifying to imagine. But I wonder about the impact of all those nukes used!
And that's another thing I wish was different, the last part was sort of jumping from character to character, for short conclusions but I would love to see more about the brand new world. Honestly, I think I would be able to read a book dedicated to each country! Especially Russia, Iceland and Israel would be interesting. Also, I wish we really knew what happened in North Korea.
I also wonder about Patient Zero, because when the doctor in China informed his friend, they knew what was going on, the military seemed ready for what was happening there. That does not seem like the first case
This was just so sweet and amazing. Love this Grinch more than the movie one. I wish we had Dr.Seuss whenTHE GRINCH GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
