Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated 9-1-1: Lone star in TV
Apr 4, 2021 (Updated Apr 4, 2021)
I tried to watch this one. I used to be an EMT and I miss the rush and the life so I want to find a good medical drama to satisfy my blood lust for intelligently written, exciting, tv. This is not it. It's painfully fake. I was unable to get through more than a few minutes. Now, I like Rob Lowe. I grew up watching him and the Brat Pack and he's a pretty man so all the girls my age had a crush on him. I really liked him in Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing and Parks and Rec. Rob Lowe does his best acting in a suit. I could not take him seriously as a first responder. I can't even remember if his character is a firefighter, police officer, or EMT in this show. All I know is that I had to tap out after the first few lines.
Perhaps my rating is unfair because I'm basing my judgment with 911 Lonestar being an extension of 911 with the same writing style and situations, and that show has stiff acting, and outrageously fake scenarios. I recently tried to watch 911 due to a draught of medical dramas and I ended up yelling at the tv about all the technical mistakes the EMTs and firefighters were making. I mean, they took an elevator up to an upper floor when the building was unstable and at risk of collapse or having a power outage. It was ridiculous. Who does that? If you are good at suspending belief, maybe you can tolerate this show. But I just can't. Sorry, Rob. See you in my dreams.

Took me out of my comfort zone
As an ardent crime-fiction reader, I was surprised how much I loved this psychological thriller. I read it with a friend and we were gripped with the characters. Although it was a bit confusing at the start, after a few chapters it became a plausible read. Definitely took me away from my reading-comfort-zone. I even enjoyed the film....though that should definitely be viewed after reading the book.

Majority of the songs are good, but I did expect more from this album..
Mixture of songs, ones like 'Gold' I absolutely love but others were a bit of a miss for me. Definitely won't make as big of an impact as 'Radioactive' or 'It's Time' but I still liked the album as a whole, usually let the album shuffle through songs while I'm working
Lilyn G - Sci-Fi & Scary (91 KP) rated Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp in Apps
Feb 3, 2018
I liked it, but I didn't love it.
I had had the original Animal Crossing game once upon a time, and vaguely remembered liking it, so I decided to give this one a try. Pocket Camp was fun for a while, but very swiftly settled into monotonous and just couldn't keep my attention. There's only so far cute characters and arranging your campsite can carry you before you start needing a little bit of something else going on.

Wow
I loved it
Couldn't put it down.
This is the second book in the fatal dreams series and although you can read it as a standalone I would recommend reading the first one, race the darkness.
I enjoyed the way Abbie writes and although this is a romantic paranormal suspense it also has quite a few grisly crime scenes.
I would certainly recommend this book and I'll probably include it in a future monthly book box at www.andrelaxbookboxes.co.uk

I really enjoyed this book. For me, the story started off a little slow but by the 5th or so chapter I was hooked and couldn't put it down without reading large chunks of it at a time. The football team added a great aspect to the overall story and I loved how the story ended, even if it meant the Blue Umbrella was put up for sale. So glad I won this book as a first reads winner!

Another great read from Andy Weir

I loved Andy Weirs first book and when I saw this one I purchased straight away.
Set on a colony on the moon. The book follows the story of a unusual heroin who starts off trying to do something illegal for a client but ends up saving the whole colony.
A book that I couldn't put down. Cannot wait to see what he comes up with next.

Wonderful high fantasy rpg
I love this game. It has a wonderfully out there fantasy story line akin to a Miyazaki film and I love the options for winning (harvesting above, exploring below or a mix of the two). I kind of wish it allowed you to go play beyond the allotted rounds. Overall if you're looking for a great, beautiful fantasy game that is surprisingly non violent I would recommend this one.

I cant count how many times I watched this!

This was truly a work of art. Between the fact it's a childrens movie, and how much they put in it. It's one you just have to buy. I mean if you think about it, it all started with a revenge murder plot! And ends with a cat and happy family. I think we can all agree the lever part is all of our favoritesa though.
