The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Race for Paris in Books
Oct 7, 2020
It seems everyone wants to be the person to chronicle the victory of the Allied forces taking Paris back from the Nazis. This novel follows two women in their efforts to gain that title.

I've long touted that artificial sweeteners are poison. Here's a novel that takes that basic premise, brings it into the world of fiction, and watches to see what happens when one of those sweeteners is found to be a real problem.

Throughout the book Mary builds up the story and leads you to believe the ending will be just as good. I felt that this book has SOOOO much potential but was very let down with how it ended.

BookCritics (259 KP) rated Dear Aaron in Books
Jun 20, 2017
Another slow read by M.Z. This one didn’t hit me as emotionally as her previous books as the main characters seemed to me more immature that their supposed ages especially with the back and forth talk and all the internal dialogue.

GameCritics (290 KP) rated Thumper in Video Games
Jul 28, 2017
By the end of Thumper, the speed is insane, the music wild and oppressive, and the feeling of just barely holding on to a beast that wants to send you flying so it can gnaw your bones is disturbingly strong.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Boogeyman (2005) in Movies
Jun 29, 2018
Oh dear! Be afraid, very afraid...of the closet!?? It had a good opening then went down hill so quick it's unbelievable. Not scary, spooky, creepy at all. Would have been better as an 18/R rating film. I have to mention the cgi was a joke as well.....and this has 2 sequels, that's something to be afraid of!
Considering how long ago this book was written it held up well. I mean yes, there are things that are definitely dated (All the decor that’s mentioned, phone booths, people able to drink at 18) but the basic book itself still is good thanks mostly to Judy Bloom’s writing skill. I will never look at the name Ralph the same way again though.
