David Lowery recommended Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) in Movies (curated)

"I saw this opening night, loved the first thirty minutes, phased in and out for the rest. I really liked Alden Erenreich’s performance, the visual effects were top-notch and of course Bradford Young’s cinematography was a wonder, but otherwise I didn’t really feel strongly about it one way or another. Maybe, like most of the world, I didn’t need more STAR WARS just yet – but several months later, whilst on a long flight, I guess I definitely did because I randomly decided to rewatch the opening scene and before I knew it the credits were rolling. Freed of expectations, scaled down to an 8 inch Lufthansa screen, SOLO was a delight. I’m not too broken up about not getting additional young Han adventures, but I could definitely use more Lady Proxima in my life."

David McK (3816 KP) rated Dragons of Spring Dawning: Chronicles, Volume Three (Dragonlance Chronicles Book 3) in Books

Oct 16, 2020

Third entry in the Weis/Hickman Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy, which sets the world of Krynn up for new adventures with a new Status Quo, and which finishes the story first began in Dragons of Autumn Twilight.

However, I found this to be lacking the intimacy of that first novel, or even the tragic pathos of Sturm from the second Dragons of Winter Night; too concerned with Tanis's internal struggles and skipping over a large part of just what happened to Raistlin and how he suddenly becomes so powerful (told in other spin-offs, perhaps?).

Also, and as with Dragons of Winter Night, not all characters survive the story, with one character in particular provided with a fitting farewell.

In short, and as a whole: these books are OK, but nothing remarkable.

Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated Prince Harry: The Inside Story in Books

Oct 2, 2020

Prince Harry has always been a person that I have admired, even back in the time when I grew up in Macedonia. Whenever I'd see something about him on the news, I'd get all excited and I wouldn't take my eyes off him.

I like how Duncan brings us to Prince Harry's life. It feels like we are there, with him, on his adventures. I like how the story progresses and I learn more things about Harry that I haven't known before. Like for example the fact that his name is not even Harry haha :D It's Henry. Amazing, right?

Easy to read, and a story that would attract everyone that wants to know the inside of a royal world and for anyone that even wondered what it's like...
