Book Review Shailene Woodley and The Fault In Our Stars I apologise in advance. For many of you, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green was one of the best books of 2012. I liked it ok. But I didn’t love it. I didn’t cry. I tried to cry, I did. But it just wasn’t there By Lainey • Mar 20, 2013 03:25 pm
Book Review Is this Tris? Click here to read my review of Divergent and here for Insurgent. I am obsessed with the story. They started on the screenplay last year.

Book Review Buying Katniss Here’s Jennifer Lawrence all over New York the last couple days on a final hard push for The Hunger Games which, as mentioned yesterday, could open as high as $120 million but probably no lower than $80 million which is, obviously, massive.

Book Review Best of 2011: Your Voice In My Head by Emma Forrest My favourite book of the year. Forrest is an awesomely gifted writer. It’s not just the story, but the way she tells it, the words that describe it, so that you can feel so acutely her joy and her sadness and her gratefulness for the person who helped her By Lainey • Dec 22, 2011 03:07 pm
Book Review Film or Television: the Ewan McGregor edition One day I’d like to get a liveblog going with Duana and Sarah to discuss or debate the whole Movies vs TV argument.
