Hello World,
On Saturday, I went down to Torquay for a nice little seaside theatre experience. A lovely chilled out afternoon watching a play by a book I enjoyed a while back.
If any of seen the Daniel Radcliffe film of this play, you'll know what the story is about. The play suited more of the book version to the film version.
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill is not the first horror books I have read. It was however the first horror book that scared the living shit out of me. To this day I still remember reading it at home all by myself with headphones in and getting so freaked out by what I was reading that I had to turn on every single light on in the house and turn on the TV, for background noise.
Then the film came out and I had to get my friend to come along and watch it with me. I will admit, the only reason why I wanted to watch this film is become of Daniel Radcliffe, back in the day where I thought I was in love with him.. Heart eyed emoji would have been inserted then.
It was then my friends found the show being shown in Torquay and this how the post came a long..
Now, the film I remember being scary and my friend still laughs at me to this day about the jumping at some scenes. The play however sends shivers down my spine. I loved it, I was terrified. Only a three person show and they did amazing. They added things to add to the imagination such as, making the room cold, adding smoke fog and then recorded sounds. It spooked me out and don't get me started on the Woman in Black herself.
The first moment she entered the stage, I had shivers and she made me jumped quite a bit.

Hello World,
So, recently I have finally finished the Divergent trilogy. You can read the first book Divergent review here. Divergent.
I actually didn't realise that I never wrote a review for Insurgent the second book.
I might actually behind on the times in reading this trilogy. But it is only recently that I have shown a little interest in reading these type of adventure sci-fy young adult reads. I mean, I cannot wait to get hands on the final book of the Red Queen.
Allegiant, is the final book from the Divergent series. It is about a young girl call Tris who is goes about to save the world. She has a gene that is 'pure', from many years of wars and genetic modification.
To cut to the chase, I have been in two minds about writing this blog. Which is why it has taken me a week to actually write it.
I didn't enjoy this book. It started off well and it was nice to go into an escapism mood. But as the book progressed I grew bored and distance. The more I read, the less interested I grew. I had an eight hour drive and even sitting down to read during that drive I couldn't get involved. I grew to think as to why that was.
I believed most of it was because of the lack of characters development. Roth created so many characters that hung around in the books, with so little description that I just grew confused as to who was who in the books.
Then afterwards I sat and watch the films. The final film made no sense. It was really confusing because the first two films was created away slightly from the books and then the final film was made slightly more to book. Maybe one day, I'll give it all a go again.
