Kristina (502 KP) rated Pulled in Books

Dec 7, 2020

I liked 'Pulled'. I wish I could say more, but I really can't. The story itself was beautiful and truly heartbreaking, but I felt like it could have been written better. I had to know what happened between Daniel and Melanie, but I felt myself scrolling through most of the paragraphs. The dialogue felt rather repetitive, I kept seeing "I love you" and "Thank you" constantly. Despite these issues (which are truly my own hangups), I was a it invested in their love story and how things would work out.

Stevie Nicks recommended The Little Prince in Books (curated)

"I first discovered The Little Prince when I was in high school and fell in love with the book straight away. My make-up artist has a tattoo of the Little Prince on the side of her leg, so I’m often reminded of what a beautiful story it is. It’s a sweet fable about the relationship between a little boy and his love for a rose. There is such a strong philosophy of love and loneliness running throughout the book that I can’t help but return to it again and again"

Do you ever read a book that entices you to travel? Well this book is the second reason (after the food), I want to visit Greece. Specifically Zakynthos. The romance Isabelle creates in this book is so beautiful I just want a tint piece of it for myself. I'm a terrible romantic at heart and I can only dream of meeting someone so fantastic like Holly did. I've only read this book once but its stuck in my mind for a long time.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) in Movies

Sep 4, 2019

The last of the current trilogy and arguably the best.
It riffs upon established POTA tropes such as a believable reason for the loss of speech in humans and also the subtle introduction of Nova.
Effects are beautiful and animation of the apes with Andy Serkis continues to amaze with his performance.
it's a thought provoking story based upon a great escape/Prisoner of war type plot with a prison guard played by a very on form Woody Harrelson.
A fitting end to a better interpretation of Pierre Boulle's classic

Looks like meat's back on the menu boys

I love Lord of the rings for many reasons. It has great characters, tension and story. It has beautiful descriptions that help your imagination bloom. It has whole new languages. It has everything you need in a classic fantasy. The only drawback is the that it ends after a long read and you wish it continue. Overall it is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read and it set the tone for many since then. Top job Tolkien.

A European Masterpiece

*SEASON 1* An incredible piece of TV.This has the lot,beautiful photography,a mind bending storyline and some amazing atmospheric music.

Set in a small German town with a child has gone missing you think that this is just going to be another mystery or drama show that deals with said child I promise you it's not.There are other weird things going on in this town and nearly every person in it has a secret or something to hide.

This show is something special.Looking forward to starting season 2 ASAP.
