fantasyformysanity (128 KP) rated Lucifer - Season 1 in TV
Feb 13, 2020
Love it!
I finally started watching Lucifer on Netflix and I'm wondering why I didn't watch it sooner! Lucifer is a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. Crime with a love hate love story. I m officially addicted to this show and I'll be sad when I run out of episodes. (Currently on S2 E12.)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but not a big fan.
Will Ferrell played a very lacking character. I had no interest in seeing him succeed at all. I was invested in Rachel McAdams character but not enough to rescue the weak script.
I really wanted to enjoy this and I'm disappointed I wasn't able to.

I still love this series. A lot more than the authors other work--Alpha and Omega series--which i struggled to get into. I love Mercy and Adam together. Great couple.
This is a series that i could re-read over and over and never get bored of.
Can't wait to read the next book!

This book was not for me
I want to say something positive about this book. Okay, it is a quick read, I actually wanted to continue reading it although I am not sure if my reasons for this were because of enjoyment. I chose this book as I am going to be writing a part memoir for my dissertation. I liked the synopsis because I enjoy a bit of humour. In the past I have read (and enjoyed) a book by Mike Gayle called 'Turning Thirty' which I thought, and hoped, this book would have been similar. WRONG!!!!
Edwards basically writes some (I believe) far fetched memoir but mingles it with self help bullshit that has been regurgitated from other peoples ideas. I am confused by the author's objectives. Whilst I appreciate any woman who is a good and opinionated feminist, I feel that Edward's 'Sisterhood' is cringey. The writer comes across as middle class and perhaps would have benefited from excluding her middle class status to seem less arrogant to working class readers.
I learned of a technique for essay writing in college (PEE) Point, Evidence and Evaluation. This is a formula that Edwards uses throughout her book and it makes the flow very artificial instead of conversational.
On the plus side, it was her first novel, and she managed to write it and publish it. It just wasn't for me.
