A brutally honest book that really makes you think. Written in the perspective of a boy who has Asperger's, he has a different sense of what "normal" is. He loves logic and reason, and for this reason, he can seem somewhat uptight to many. This book delves into Christopher's world, and with it, his perspective of people around him. The only downside: It can be quite draggy at certain parts as Christopher believes in stating everything. Also, the ending is quite unsatisfying but fresh. Otherwise, it still remains a charming and extraordinary book.

Simply one of the best TV Shows I have watched ever.
Funny, hilarious, heartbreaking and serious at the same time, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a masterful comedy infused with serious discussion about current affairs while having powerful and lovable characters that will stay with you long after you finish the episode or season. The main character, Det. Jake Peralta is played by the talented and wonderful Andy Samberg. The show centres around life in the never boring 99th Precinct of the NYPD, along with his colleagues Amy Santiago (played by the incredible Melissa Fumero), Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), Sgt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), Cpt. Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) as well as Michael Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Norm Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller).
This show is not only powerful and incredible, but it has the elements of what it means to be a 21st century show with characters of different races and sexualities, big questions about identity and a wonderful, clear storyline of what it means to be human, flaws and all, but at the end of the day, you know that you will always have friends who have your back.
Definitely recommended for anyone who loves a good comedy and humour.

One of the best books I've ever read. Incredibly memorable characters, brutally honest and revealing, it is indeed the best book you will ever put your hands on. This book made me cry, laugh and smile. Most importantly, it taught me about love, kindness and loss. If this book was a universal must-read, then this world would certainly be a much better place. This book will stay with you long after you finish it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 is the best movie out of the previous seven movies. There was adrenaline and emotions coursing through me every second of the movie. You can really feel the tension, the anger and at some parts, joy. Emma Watson has really outdone herself in this movie, and she put up an incredible performance as Hermione in this final instalment. Well-directed and shot, the scenes are captivating and spellbinding. Though sometimes a little confusing and complicated, it is truly a good movie. It is worth your time.

American Murder: The Family Next Door is a murder which will leave the deepest impression on you after watching it. I am still left haunted.

The film combines elements of real-life and interviews/excerpts from the people closest to the case. Shocking and riveting, American Murder will change the way you see crime. Recommended for true-crime fans or anyone who is interested in crime.
A must-watch documentary/narrative on this shocking example of how you can trust no one.

It was an exquisitely-crafted story with sinister twists and believable acting surrounding a layered and complex victim, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer). With the incredible acting skills and carefully chosen words that will keep you in the dark until the final conclusion is reached and an ending that no one will forget. If that is not enough, the peculiar and rather eccentric private investigator Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) infuses incredible comedy in a movie that is otherwise dark and twisted. This is definitely a mystery movie that is sure to reach the top of your Favourites list.
