David McK (3547 KP) rated Minions 2 rise of gru (2022) in Movies
Jul 14, 2024
And, I have to say, I thought the first - and, even, the original Despicable Me movies - was better, with the story here not really leading anywhere, too much time given to the gibberish Minion talk that you couldn't always understand, and the 1970s setting not really doing anything for me at all.
YMMV, of course ...

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Sisters One, Two, Three in Books
Jun 14, 2018
The three sisters, all very different, come together after the death of their mother. Ginger is the the eldest who is the overanxious hypochondriac. Mimi is the laissez-faire soccer Mom extraordinaire. Lastly, Callie is the youngest and the wanderer whom, as of late, has been on one of her famous disappearing acts. The three finally converge at their Martha’s Vineyard home and, finally, are forced to confront the tragedy from their childhood that has plagued them all for years.
The characters in this novel are well thought out and unique, as well as realistic and flawed. This novel has great style, flow and is very easy to read. I was overjoyed when the format on my E-reader copy was clear, and I could easily engage.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Lake Union Publishing for an opportunity to read an advance copy.
