Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Hot Milk in Books
Jul 28, 2017
Well written but too long and fluffy
Deborah Levy is a wonderful writer and is able to explore characters in a detailed way.
Unfortunately the storyline is a little too convoluted, rather emotional with little substance about an adult daughter's relationship with both her parents. It could be cut down to half the length and even then it may be too long. This may appeal to drama lovers but be warned - the story can be summed up in a sentence.

The Grimm family is on the edge of finally freeing Sabrina and Daphne's parents from the sleeping spell they are under. Meanwhile, their friend the Big Bad Wolf is being tried for his crimes. This entire series is lots of fun, and it provides some nice twists to the familiar fairy tale characters. Aimed at kids, any adult will enjoy it.

Tami (7 KP) rated Her Hollywood Boyfriend in Books
Jul 15, 2018
Cute book. I enjoyed how the character had to choose to let go before she was willing to move on. It took more than she thought she was really ready to give. When reading though you have to realize that it's a new adult book and not a book for more mature readers. I think this book could have been even better had they chosen to make this character just a tad bit older. All in all a good book.

I loved this show, watched it since day one, always trying to guess who A was, always getting it wrong ha! Loved the characters and their story lines the last few seasons got really good and more ‘darker’ and then we found out who A really was and I’m not sure I enjoyed the ending I feel like more could have been done, that or I’m just in denial that’s the end haha
AT (1676 KP) rated Erased, Vol. 1 in Books
Jul 22, 2019
I really liked the first volume of Erased. There's a lot of mystery to it, even though you feel like you know what's going to happen. The main character of the story is sent back in time to his fifth grade year to try and prevent a string of kidnappings and murders. Along with that, he has to relive those days as a fifth grader, with his adult knowledge and life skills. It's a delicate and sometimes awkward balance for him.

Nice playing pieces
Could be better
I bought this for my son because I used to love playing it when I was younger and he kept asking to play the adult monopoly with us.
However I was disappointed to find out they have simplified the currency far too much. They only use 1s.
If they'd stuck to 1s, 5s, 10s and 20s like I used to have it would have a far more educational side to it.

Fantastic sequel
If you neglected to read The Shining before reading this book, there will be parts that don't make any sense. Do yourself a favor and read The Shining first, TRUST ME! This book made me particularly weary of large convoys of RV people and put Danny's adult life into a perspective I didn't envision for him. I loved this book completely and was reading to go back and read cover to cover all over again.
AT (1676 KP) rated No Game No Life, Vol. 1 in Books
Feb 23, 2020
I don't know anything about this series, so maybe it's an anime that makes more sense. However, as manga, only in the first volume, it's jumpy and confusing. It seems like it's written, assuming that the reader already knows about the world that the characters have been sent to. For me, it was confusing with not enough explanation at times. On a side note, this series is NOT for younger readers. There is a little nudity and some adult situations in it.
