Jason's story continues in this brilliant follow-up

Not to give away the story, but starting off with a twist virtually guarantees that the rest of the story will be above and beyond. Jason's got a lot of choices he needs to make, and having changed the fundamentals of the game, a lot of people are gunning for him.

Including Alexion.

And let's not mention Alfred's offer, the one that Jason seems equally unsure of and eager for.

Travis has developed a very compelling antihero, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

The weird sex scenes.

Let's be real here ... American Pie is still the best for raunchy humor. Everything beyond that falls short in comparison. And when they cast people who can't act well, it makes even the good parts bad. If you like typical frat humor, helicopter parenting, and mediocre plot lines .. this might be right up your alley. I gave it five out of ten but that's being gracious. I could have gone my whole life without seeing this film and that would be perfectly fine.

Sorry To Bother You (2018) has nothing to apologise for. #Review

Boots Riley’s absurdist, pitch-black satire may just end up becoming one of the most important and resonant films of our time. Not because its concerned particularly with the topical venality of Trumpism and the ongoing corruption of western political discourse but because it looks beyond these deplorable but ultimately transient phases at the bigger societal picture and savages the superficiality of a social media-driven world sleepwalking into a voluntary corporatocracy....

Deborah (162 KP) rated The Favored Queen: A Novel of Henry VIII's Third Wife in Books

Dec 21, 2018

I know the author says in the back that this is meant as an 'entertainment' and that she has changed some things around for her own convenience, but really! So many of the characters were really not plausible and very one dimensional and situations just plain unbelievable. Jane Seymour having an torrid affair with a workman really was beyond the pale - I was disappointed that Erickson didn't come up with an explanation for Jane to make to Henry regarding her loss of virginity. One of the silliest books I have read!

Try hard

Hmmm....

This was not the book for me unfortunately. I found the main character Flavia very unbelievable. She was wise beyond her years and seemed to flirt with older men at the age of 12. I felt like this tried to mirror some of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing but just really missed the mark (for me). The plot was quite obvious aswell. Surprised that it has some considerable accolades.

(Sorry, I hate leaving bad reviews)
