Fantastic Read!
These books were wonderful. I love books that can pull you into a whole new place. Riggs hit a home run at that. The descriptions are vivid and bring you right into the world of the peculiars. The pictures throughout the book really make the characters come to life. I read every book in a couple days and I waited anxiously for each book even the graphic novels. If you are a fan on fantasy books, this is one that is definitely worth reading.

2017 | Role-Playing
A fantastic DLC added to an already great game. New machines and a new area to explore add some fantastic depth to the story. There's new armor and weapons also. The story itself is good and you get 15 hours of amazing game play. The main character Aloy is as endearing as ever as well as smart. The new characters that are introduced are interesting as well. I enjoyed it a lot.

Something is wrong
I cant tell u why i dont like this series.i liked iron fist in comics.maybe beacuse with no costume i couldnt accept danny rand.not much back story shoddy put together and same old same old villian the hand.u have to have some one who is unique the first season like fisk in daredevil.who was amazing acting.or the purple man in jessica jones.but here they seem like they only made this to set up defenders.i liked the actor who played danny rand.

Brilliant
I haven't seen series 1 but i did see series 2 which I thought was pretty good, this prompted me to watch series 3. Well it was amazing, finally a set of writers that can write a good ending to a series (after the disappointment of Liar and Dr Foster). I was not expecting what happened at the end. I didn't always quite understand why the perpetrators were doing what they were doing, nor why they made Karl make a choice at the end but it was still gripping.

Power Rangers (2017)
2017 | Action, Sci-Fi
I remember the original Power Rangers television show that first premiered when I was 5 years old (Pink Ranger 4 life). I had such high hopes for it, because the trailer made it look amazing. It was a little all over the place and had plenty of WTF moments. I found the product placement really distracting. Rita Repulsa needed a Krispy Kreme prior to trying to destroy the world?!?! I think it spent a little too long setting up the whole story, and this movie was over 2 hours long.

I expected a story from the immigrant’s side of immigration but got so much more. Sure, you get that side of the story (although it feels somewhat sugar coated at times), but this is also a BEAUTIFUL portrayal of a couple in a relationship going through a hard time. For that aspect alone, I would recommend the book to everyone I know!! The book is written in third person, which usually takes the emotional aspect out of the game for me, but the author did an amazing job switching between each perspective, which definitely helped.

The more times you read the book the more you get from it. It really makes you think differently about things and I love that about a book. The descriptions are well detailed so you can paint an amazing picture. (0 more)
There are some racism remarks which I'm guessing at the time was written wasn't "a big deal" but it makes for uncomfortable reading. Also in the follow on books there are a few inconsistencies, but if you can over look doesn't effect the story too much. (0 more)
A thinking book!

This is such an amazing album , definitely their best live album by far (0 more)
When I listened to this album I could imagine being at the concert immersed totally in mind bending mayhem. yeah bring it on Lizard King. Thinking bout what it must've been like back in that audience surrounded by chaos n disorder is what it's all about. Why oh why was I born too late and in the wrong country , doh. I love everything about the peace and loving 60's. I should of been there it's where I belonged.
