'Everywhere in the universe there is complex life to be found I reckon there will be Tetris sooner or later. I hope they get a game as good as Tetris Effect to truly do it justice.'

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated 10 Books That Screwed Up the World: And 5 Others That Didn't Help in Books
Mar 1, 2018
This is one of those books that I want to give less than one star to. I didn't actually finish it, because I didn't feel a need to do so. Wiker's complaints about every book pretty much come down to, "It's not from my Christian worldview." He's black and white, and I have very little tolerance for the intolerant.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2097 KP) rated Out of the Shadows (Nick Barrett, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The first in a Christian mystery trilogy, Nick returns to Charleston to face the mysteries of his past, specifically his mother's disappearance when he was a pre-teen. A gripping story that dragged just slightly in the middle.

I laughed my a** off at this book! It's very funny!
"Then why only 2 stars?" you may ask...
It's is way too Christian focused for me! He mentioned "god" at least 100 times!
Some of it is funny, so if you can ignore the preaching it's at least worth a read...only took me 20 minutes :c)

It's a bit of a slow burn, but the entire cast is excellent with their performances and kept me invested. Christian Bale and Harry Melling play well off each other. Melling as Poe impressed me. I enjoyed the murder mystery aspect of it and the reveal at the end was great. Overall, I enjoyed the film.
Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated Fifty Shades Freed in Books

Okay listen, this is my favorite book of all of them - including the Christian perspective novels and when I said on my other reviews that I would rage about this one not having a book written in his perspective, I didn't think I'd be this angry about it. There is so much juice in this novel - lots of thrill, the fighting (Ana FINALLY grows some cajones and stands up to Christian and that's the most satisfying character development), I NEED a Christian perspective!!! It would round out this series so nicely.
There is this whole section of the middle of the book involving Ray that just feels dumb and useless. It was like it was thrown in there because they needed more pages and I almost think that the production staff on the film agreed because that plotline doesn't happen in the film.
Again, I wish more than anything that there was a Christian perspective. After reading the other 2 books from his point of view and knowing what was happening in his head at certain points, I found myself really craving that with this novel. There's this one fight that happens and I so wanted to be inside his head to know what he was thinking!! Does anyone want to start a petition with me to get E.L. James to write it?
Anyways, I think that this is the best novel of all of them. I think that it's the climax of the story, anything more than these 3 novels and it would've just felt like too much. I don't have any desire to read any of the other books again but I could find myself wandering back to this one to read as a filler if I wasn't sure where I wanted to go next. Overall, there are definitely some holes in the story, some dead parts that could've just been cut entirely, and obviously I still have a major issue with the dialogue BUT it's still my favorite. It's a guilty pleasure. It's worth reading just to say you did.
I'm a little more sad to be done than I thought I would be but I suppose it's time to bid Christian Grey adieu. After watching the last movie, of course.

'There's a nice mindless blaster with lots of colour and energy. But it's a bit hidden by busywork in the menus, endless upgrading and meter-watching on the planetary surface, shameless creative borrowings in the art department - and hefty bills at the Amazon checkout.'

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2097 KP) rated Facing Your Giants in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A Christian non-fiction book that uses the life of David to encourage and challenge the reader to conquer the giants in their lives. Author Max Lucado is a master at making the obvious extraordinary. Just what I needed.

I don't know why I haven't given this five stars because I don't normally buy book after book in the same series unless I'm obsessed, and I am pretty much but only due to the Raven/Christian brewing romance. It's been driving me mad for the last 3 books and finally we may be getting somewhere.
Off to buy book 4.
