Plot is so intricate and intriguing
Cole Sprouse!!!
SO ADDICTING
I can't get enough of this show. The acting is (mostly) on point, the plot is so well thought out, it just makes you want to keep on watching! Usually it takes me more than 1 season to get fully hooked on a show, but Riverdale got me hooked on the first episode.
I read the Archie comics when I was younger and I love the new spin they've put on this adaptation. I cannot wait for the next season and what it has in store for the show.

Peter Russell (61 KP) rated 7 Wonders Duel in Tabletop Games

Great two player adaptation
My wife and I like this game for its smaller table footprint, speedy turn play and the play time is not extensive. This game is about creating your own ancient civilization. There are multiple paths to victory, and it is important that you think out your goal based on the cards laid before you and observing what your opponent is doing. You can achieve victory through military might, having a strong economy to get lots of money, or just building the best buildings and getting your wonders made.
Better than the film
I really hate how difficult I find it to separate a book and the film adaptation. Whilst I didn't love the Birdbox film, i thought it was alright, however reading this book has really made me reconsider.
The book and film plots are similar, but the book seems a lot darker and creepier. The character of Malorie is different, nicer even but I dont think she is very well developed in this. This was a good book and an interesting take on the end of the world scenario, I just wish I'd read this before watching the film.

Hannah May (3 KP) rated Outlander in Books
Mar 8, 2018
I fell in love with the TV adaptation. The cast, the chemistry, the journey and the incredible, breathtaking setting made me desperate to visit Scotland. Now, having finally read the novel, my love and admiration for the series has grown. My desire to see Scotland and visit all the places Claire visited has only strengthened. And of course, my love for Jamie Fraser is greater. Not that it was difficult. He's a marvel! I absolutely loved Outlander. I loved every word. Truly, it was impossible to put down. I can't wait to read Dragonfly in Amber!
Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Strike - The Cuckoo's Calling - Season 1 in TV
Jul 14, 2018
Well made adaptation
I love Robert Galbraith’s (J. K. Rowling’s) novels and was very excited when I found out they were adapting it for tv. That excitement bittered a bit when I learned each “season” would only be 2-3 episodes long and would cover an entire book. There is a lot of material in the rich and detailed novels that would have lent themselves to a full length season. That being said, the show was very good. The casting, in my opinion, is excellent. I wish there was more!
Lenard (726 KP) rated Emma (2020) in Movies
Mar 2, 2020
I am likely in the minority here, but I did not enjoy the new adaptation of Emma. The screenplay had poor dialogue. The only scene that fully worked was the climactic scene where Emma is revealed to be mindlessly cruel. I felt that once Mr Knightly and Emma realized that they were a good match (only a spoiler if you haven't read Emma, seen Emma, or seen Clueless), there were unnecessary subplots to get in the way and lead to a second resolution. I knew Emma was a matchmaker, but who knew Mr. Woodhouse was the real mastermind of romantic entanglements?
