Joni Thomas (33 KP) rated A Court of Mist and Fury in Books
Jan 25, 2018
Beautiful as expected. I couldn't read this fast enough. It's fast paced, the imagery is amazing, it's everything I could ask for in a book. The ending hit me hard, I was so happy that I had the next one waiting in the wings for me because it's one heck of a cliffhanger.

Gross, memorable, stupid
I haven't seen this movie in probably about 15 years but I still remember it like I watched it last night. It's a funny, icky, stupid take on 'Pandoras Box' which as a kid I found seriously funny.
This is where my love for the name Tangerine came from! Lol.

I enjoyed Archers Voice. I admit it felt a little sluggish and, I don't know, amateur-ish, maybe. The writing just felt all wrong. That being said, I did love the story and characters. Archer is like no one I've ever met before and it was refreshing to read something a little different.

A nice surprise
I had never heard of this book until I was given it as a birthday present because it won the Boiler prize the year I was born (1987). All I can say is what a pleasant surprise. It's a well written and intriguing story of the life and loves of a woman on her death bed. The main character Claudia is very flawed, but it makes her more real, personable and intriguing, and there are a few interesting story developments that keep you reading throughout.

Good story line (1 more)
Pretty decent visual effects for a 1998 movie
A little slow to start (1 more)
A bit too long
How have I never seen this before?
Honestly I was shocked I haven't ever seen this movie. It was actually pretty good! For me it took a while to really get into it, it was quite slow going until they got to the crew going into orbit, after that it snowballed into quite a nail biter. A good story line, although it was very long. Would I watch it again? Maybe.

Lots of fun!
I was a fan of the first Transformers movie, but they got a little too over the top after a while. This one brought the fun back. Interesting characters, cool effects and a decent storyline. I didn't even mind John Cena in this one(not a big fan). Everything played out well and I really enjoyed it being set in the 80s. The action was intense and not overdone like some of the other transformers movies. I highly recommend this one for the whole family. Worth a watch!

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Skulduggery Pleasant in Books
Nov 9, 2018
Although this book is aimed towards children of 9 years plus, I believe it's still a great read for adults. It really is a lot of fun! It's an adventure story filled with magic and mild horror, which in my opinion is a great mix. I knocked a star off as I thought the ending was quite abrupt. A massive build up which lead to a bit of an anticlimax.
I liked all of the characters and would like to see if they return in the second installment.
