Not my usual read but I heard about it through a number of people so I thought I would give it a go. It was well written, funny with good plot twists. The characters were believeable and I felt great empathy with them. My only criticism is that the ending seemed a little rushed but perhaps that is because I was enjoying the book so much
Dawn Marie (22 KP) rated Resident Evil (2002) in Movies

I saw this movie originally in the theaters and I walked out so mad. As a fan of the games I was extremely upset that not one main character from the game was in it. After learning that there were reasons behind capcom s decision on that now I look at the movie as more of a prequel. I think the best of the movie series is two but this one as good as a prequel
Lindsay (1812 KP) rated A Sensible Arrangement (Lone Star Brides #1) in Books

I was surpised in the way this was set up. Though I am not all for it. It was good. There some things that is relates to romance. I would not to be hard on the rating. I think it a four star rating. It could have been more of a plot. It does have some mystery to it. It is a good book. I enjoyed it. The way she lost her husband was something new.
Dana (24 KP) rated The Pilgrim's Progress in Books

I was quite bored by this story. I am not the biggest fan of the religious themes that this book is full of. It felt very repetitive after a while. There were a lot of issues of confusion in the story. There were many times where I got lost whether it was actually a dream or not in the specific moments.
I don't really have much to say about it since I didn't enjoy it much.

Seemed like a good premise
I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like it would be good, the story sounds very interesting. However, I just couldn't look past how annoyingly it was written. I read a lot of YA novels because I am a middle school teacher, but this was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't get more than halfway through.
Katie Guinn (34 KP) rated The Carrier in Books

Once again, I have mixed feelings about a book. While this one was well written and the solution to the mystery not easily guessed, I felt the characters weren't particularly likeable. Unfortunately, that included the detectives. The ending also seemed a bit unresolved, which I know is realistic, but I prefer my fiction to be wrapped up a little tidier. Overall, I liked this book, but I'm not rushing out to pick up more of the author's work.
AT (1676 KP) rated Parasite (2019) in Movies
Mar 13, 2020
I loved Parasite way more than I was expecting to. It was unique. A breath of fresh air compared to everything else that's out now. I thought it was part horror, but I guess it wasn't. Violent, yes. However, it was also a well-woven story that had a lot of smart humor in it. I really enjoyed it, and can definitely see how it won so many Oscars this year. It's definitely worth your while to watch.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Just One Wish in Books
Jan 7, 2021
I think it ended a bit abruptly and i wasn't convinced by the romance but it won me over a lot with Annika's dedication to her sick younger brother and the stories and the wishes and all the stuff she does to make him happy. I shed a few tears near the end when i thought it was going to be bad news--and with how it ended, it could still be bad news--but i did like it.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Tempting Evil (Riley Jenson Guardian, #3) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
Coming into a series three books in was not a good idea, I had no background info about her brother or her lovers or the guardians. I was just suddenly knee deep in a story that I was enjoying up until about the 150 page mark when she was suddenly having sex with almost everyone and I felt like I'd missed something (which since it's the third book, I obviously had). Therefore i'm giving it three stars.
