Jennifer Daniell (108 KP) rated Fifty Shades Darker in Books
Apr 10, 2018
I hated every minute of the first two thirds of this book. It was all whining, petty arguments and sex with no real substance. In fact I almost didn't finish reading it and took a hiatus for a couple days before deciding to continue on. I am glad I did because the story does pick up and the sex (slightly) lessens. I even cried a little. Hopefully the third one has a better flow.

ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I would be a liar if I said I didnt have a soft spot for firefighters. As cliche as it sounds, its a trope I typically enjoy. Her Sexy Challenge did not disappoint. Humourous, hot, and a couple with tons of chemistry, this novel as an enjoyable read the contemporary romance lovers wont want to pass up. A well rounded novel, I am already looking forward to more from this series.

Trevor Butler (3 KP) rated Disney Villainous in Tabletop Games

A Disney game that's actually well done
I love the theme of this game as I have always been a Disney fan.
I bought the expansion the moment I saw it.
If you like Disney, you'll like this game, but be warned it's a bit heavier than you might expect, probably too difficult for most kids.

Andrew Koltuniuk (767 KP) rated I Confess (1952) in Movies

An interesting movie. I really love Alfred Hitchcock and so it was really cool to see another of his movies on the screen. It has been a long while since I saw this film and it felt like I was viewing it for the first time. This is a really interesting Drama, well crafted, but I felt like it lacked a lot of what Hitchcock's other films had. Definitely a solid film, but I like a lot of Hitchcock's other films better.

So, I love this book. I have been trying to read it since it came out, and finally got it at a library. Yay!
For some reason, I thought that, in this book, Cath (the main character) would meet her favorite character in real life. She does not. But what Rowell does do is describe a girl who has some very real life social issues. Some of which I can relate to.
I absolutely love Levi. He is wonderful. I still don’t have a very clear picture of him in my head and I think that might be a good thing. This is a book that I don’t think I want to see in theaters. If we did, I would probably have mixed feelings. We could never see into Cath’s life so clearly.
That’s all I have to say here. I loved this book. Look at my portfolio for a review to come!

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Random Body Parts: Gross Anatomy Riddles in Verse in Books

<i>ARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you.</i>
I imagine this book would look really nice as a glossy, A4, paperback. Bright, colourful and attractive with cute little drawings and speech bubbles. Visually, this is definitely a winner. After reading this book I understand that it definitely isn't aimed at my age group, I'm too old and my daughter is too young *sad face* although I believe it's something I would of liked when I was younger.
I requested this because as a child I was fascinated with the human body and now...I just like gross stuff.
The poetry element was a nice surprise, although towards the end it was a bit of a mish-mash (are we learning about the human body or Shakespeare?).
If you're interested in the human body with an extra dose of ickyness then I recommend The Horrible Science collection. I love those collections!

Dana (24 KP) rated The Eleventh Plague in Books

I got this book in high school about six years ago and decided to finally give it a read. It was just starting at me from my shelf with it's sad eyes, so I had to give in.
This was a pretty interesting dystopia. I liked the world building and the idea of the eleven plagues to wipe out humanity. It was pretty well written and even though it was short, there was a lot of story involved in the pages. It felt like it was rushed. A lot of stuff happens in such a short amount of time that does not allow for the characters to really flourish in the book for me. I think that is the main problem I had with this book
It's been a while since I read it, so I don't remember much of the plot which is kind of a problem for me. I think I will look into more of what Jeff Hirsch has written because I want to try out another book of his to get a feel for the writing style.
Overall, not too bad of a book. I just wish I remembered more of it.
