Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Wasp Factory in Books
Nov 9, 2018
This was a very difficult book for me to rate so I rated it purely based on 'personal enjoyment'.
Yes the book was dark and clever and so well written but the enjoyment factor just wasn't there for me. Something I can not handle to read about is the abusing, torturing and killing of animals and this book was full of that. I could read an endless amount of books about the killing of people (slashers, thrillers,crime etc.) and not really be phased much but if animals are involved in it then my enjoyment level drops dramatically. I wish I had read other reviews first about this book so then I would of known what this book contains and wouldn't of read it, but I didn't as I worry about stumbling across spoilers.
An excellent look into the minds of the mentally disturbed and a truly crazy ride...it just wasn't for me.

Jesters_folly (230 KP) rated The Girl With All the Gifts (2017) in Movies
Mar 4, 2021
As I said, 'The Girl With All the Gifts' is slow but it uses this pace to let us know about the new world, the zombies and the other characters. The scenery is both beautiful and harsh as the characters travel through the now overgrown city of London and the visual effects are built on by the eerie soundtrack.
If you have read the book then you should find that the film is close to the main story, of course the film cuts out some of the back story's and there are some scenes missing but over all the film does well and manages to show how the events of the story change some of the characters (although even this is a bit lacking from the book but that is too be expected) and, over all the film does manage to get the feel of the book.
As I said, 'The Girl With All The Gifts' does not really go for gore so, if you want to see lots of action and people getting eaten then this isn't really for you. 'The Girl With All the Girts' focus more on what lies ahead, both for the reaming humans and for the zombies who will be left and the answer is bleak.
So, 'The Girl With All the Gifts' is a slow, story based zombie film with an interesting, well thought out take on the popular monster.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Blood and Betrayal (The Emperor's Edge, #5) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
As fun as it was being inside Maldynado's head--and it was hilarious at times--with his "spelunking" comment in regards to Yara. If you've read the book you'll know the comment I'm referring to, if not then you should totally find out. Like I said before: hilarious.
I have to confess I was more interested in the Amaranthe and Sicarius situation. He melted me into a puddle of goo again in this one and I'm eagerly awaiting more of them.
The next book is based on him and I cant wait to read what goes on in his head when he goes into his silent mode or gives people his icy stare. Off to buy it now!
