Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated A Place For Us in Books
Aug 6, 2018
Must read!
This novel is as heartbreaking as it is hopeful. It deftly jumps around time and narrators more successfully than many others, even while giving you a complete, linear-feeling storyline. Amazingly, this book makes you love and miss your parents, idealize and exemplify your children, and then swap everything around all within a paragraph. You will feel the first love, the uncertainty, the pride and the camaraderie with each and every character. A definite must-read!
Roxanne (13 KP) rated Skulduggery Pleasant in Books
Nov 9, 2018
Although this book is aimed towards children of 9 years plus, I believe it's still a great read for adults. It really is a lot of fun! It's an adventure story filled with magic and mild horror, which in my opinion is a great mix. I knocked a star off as I thought the ending was quite abrupt. A massive build up which lead to a bit of an anticlimax.
I liked all of the characters and would like to see if they return in the second installment.

One of my all time favorites!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I have always loved the original Lorax book and movie (which was essentially just an animated reading of the book, ) so I was really excited when this version was released. I like Ted's story even though he was just a nameless boy in the books. The silliness of the story made it Catchy for children, which I feel helped get the message across. The animation was fun and the songs were super catchy. I've watched this movie at least 50 times.
David McK (3425 KP) rated The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia, #3) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
Depending on which version of reading order you go by, this is either the 3rd book in the Narnian chronicles (publication order), or the 5th (by setting) and, personally, I found not to be as engaging as the previous 4 I'd read (going by setting).
I think this is also the last time any of the Pevensie children ever travel to Narnia, with the whole plot - concerning, as the title says, the Voyage of Prince (now King) Caspian's ship - owing more than a faint nod to Homer's Odyssey!

Plumbobmummy (3910 KP) rated Dumbo (2019) in Movies
Jan 2, 2020
I was not a big fan of the original as a child much preferring other Disney classics but I did enjoy this. I disagree with others, I think Dumbo is a film that was In need of an update. I though visually it was fantastic and the elephants were amazing. Dumbo was very cute. I liked the characters but found the plot a little dull at times and drawn out. This is much much longer than the original. My children found it hard to sit through it all.
Kate (355 KP) rated Alien Warfare (2019) in Movies

Bad bad bad but watchable
If you are in bed I’ll or just want to flump in front of the TV, then watch this film on Netflix. Your would think it is several years old, but it was made in 2019. The budget must have been minimal because the effects are awful and the aliens, yes it does contains aliens look like Power Rangers if you remember them. Who rated the film because it is rated as mature so what is that a 15? Children would not be scared and would actually laugh at it.
