I must admit, I'm quite excited to post it. Also, I kind of want to watch the film again. But, I might try a different version next time to spice things up. ;)

Charlotte Goss Is the film any good? Because this is one of my favourite books ever and I loooove Michael Fassbender but I sometimes feel that film adaptations of classics never live up to their full potential.
Can't wait for a full review :)
