Sammeh Lowry (15 KP) rated Anastasia Krupnik (Anastasia Krupnik, #1) in Books
Jul 13, 2019
Anastasia krupnik is a 10 year girl who has a wonderful if not a little strange out look on life.She hates many things one day and loves them the next. She has funny but wonderful thoughts and ideas. I first read about Anastasia when i was roughly 10 and i loved her then just as i do now at 23. They might be a little dated nowadays but i still think they are amazing, i think Anastasia was the first Georgia Nicholson (angus thongs and perfect snogging) or possibly the mates dates series. These books still haven't lost their charm though.

I had picked this up because it sounded like a cute plot, too bad I was let down. When I first started reading this I liked Haley, but as I read more, especially towards the end, she got on my nerves. She was so judgmental and annoying. I got to the point that I wished Rick wouldn't get with her, even though I knew that was pointless and of course he'd end up with her. Oh well, you can't win them all. Maybe if the author had made Haley a little realistic and maybe some minor changes to the plot, it would have been a better (and funnier) book for me. Rick was a great character though, if not a little too perfect. That's the only reason I'm raising my rating. :)

Multiple difficulty levels
I love this game and bought a PS4 just so I could play it as I was a Xbox owner.
I love that you have so many choices on the difficulty level as sometimes you just want to do story mode and explore the world. Other times you want more of a challenge to the game.
I dropped 1 point to it because you have a lot of different characters flirting with Aloy (and i love how she responds to it as to me it shows how she was raised in isolation) but I would have liked there to be more options on how it could develop relationships for better or worse depending on your responses.
Overall I think it's a fantastic game and can't wait for the next.

Easy to use
I wouldn't be without this
As an avid reader, I never like to be without a book. With the Kindle and Kindle app, I never have to worry.
Now don't get me wrong, I also love the sensation of holding an actual book, and smelling the pages (yes, I am a book sniffer), but sometimes it is easier to read from my phone.
As I don't drive, public transport is my friend, and sometimes trying to read a book when in the middle or the rush hour commute, with your face squashed into a stranger's armpit, and an elbow digging into your back, reading on my phone is so much easier!!

Having read three other David Mitchell books I had an idea in my head of what this one would be like. I think if I hadn't had those preconceptions I would have enjoyed it more because this one wasn't anything like the others.
The plot follows a year in the life of 13/14 year old Jason Taylor growing up in a small country town in the 80s. This digs deep into all of the trials and tribulations of growing up if you're not popular but instead a rather awkward stuttered.
I liked the nostalgia but I just felt that the story was a little too steady, I kept expecting some revelation that we might be building towards so ultimately I just felt a little underwhelmed.

This film is one of those movies that motivates you to do whatever you want, in your wildest dreams. Hilary Swank plays Erin Gruwell who is a fighter, a dreamer, relentless, a lover, a great teacher.
This story is incredible. I want to read the book. I want to meet these kids, I want to meet Erin Gruwell, that's how good this film is. It will tug at your heartstrings, it will leave you in awe, it will make you cry (or at least tear up). I loved everything about this film and I want to watch it a million times over. I cannot recommend this film enough. I would scream it from the tallest rooftop if I could, but alas, we're in quarantine so Smashbomb will have to do.
