Aasiyah Sidat (34 KP) rated The Life of Pi in Books
Jul 5, 2018
Now I know that Life of Pi was a major motion picture and got a lot of awards for acting. I didn't watch the full movie at the time, just a couple of clips when I was flying. At the time, it did not seem in the slight bit interesting and it definitely was not my cup of tea.

Sue (5 KP) rated Turn A Blind Eye (A Florida Murder Mystery) in Books
Aug 13, 2018
This book has it all, a little romance, some suspense, and quite a bit "I never saw that coming". It is a combination cozy mystery and suspense/romance, which makes it a great book for all three genres of readers. This story entwines the lives of Libby, her sister Mia, the couple that helped Libby through a horrible time in her life, and Rebecca a mother trying to understand what happened to her daughter.

Missed opportunity
A slow burner of a horror which is more psychological creepy than really scary. It's very subtle with the scares which come about more from the atmosphere created. Unfortunately the ending felt rushed and fell flat. Also a couple of things just didn't fit in how the characters would act in certain situations.
Overall not bad, but after a slow good build up it falls apart a little at the end.

I bloody loved this film. I wasn't expecting to, I thought it was going to be naff and a bit of a reformed Splash. I couldn't have been more wrong. There are similarities to Splash but this film was much quirkier, sweeter, sadder and happier. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm so glad it had the happy ending, if it had ended the couple of minutes before I would have been absolutely distraught.

Solid Latino New York Hip Hop
Probably arriving a couple of years too late and on a more indie rock label, As The World Burns never really made the impact an album as good as this should have done.
This is solid Hip Hop where the MCs sound passionate, with plenty of humour, punchlines and just dope beats. Q-Unique stood out but non of the emcees are week. Just go listen to it.

4.5 stars.
Everything has been leading up to the battle, and the time has arrived...and my heart was pounding quite a bit during those last couple of chapters. I was willing them all to pull through and to kick Valens arse, and they did. Big time! So happy for Alexis and Kieran and co.
That Epilogue has me a little worried. Is there going to be an offshoot series or more of this one?
