Domonique (0 KP) rated Who We Were Before in Books

This was so good, I really enjoyed it!! I liked how each chapter was told from the other person's perspective, either Edward or Zoey, and we got to see how each may have experienced the same thing on the same day but differently. This is a story of how two people losing their child have to grieve separately and kind of find out who they are again as individuals before they can come back together as a couple. It took them literally losing in each other in another country before they could truly appreciate what they had. Great read!

I loved this book! Of course there was a ton of science but Weir explained in a way that made is easy to understand. The story itself is intriguing and interesting all the way through. I enjoyed Watney’s positive and sarcastic perspective but also really loved the chapters back in Houston or California, especially before they were all in contact. There were also a couple of chapters written from an unknown POV- it kept me on edge just waiting for Mark to find out and experience what was going to happen! Get comfortable with this one because it’s definitely hard to put down!

This book was SO GOOD. Addictive, engrossing, and yes, twisty! More than once I came to a "wait, what?" moment, and had to flip back a couple of pages to confirm, at which point the "ah ha!" would set in and I'd continue on my merry way. I don't want to give away too much, so I'm being purposefully vague, but the one clear takeaway from this review is that you should add this to your to-be-read pile immediately.

Hard to follow
Tough
I took quite a while to finish this book, I had to have a couple of breaks from it. I'm not sure if it's because it's quite old and the style of writing is hard to understand but I found this quite hard to follow. It seems to jump from characters and there's alot of quotation marks missing when needed, again this may be because the book itself was written a long time ago. The actual story is amazing and Oskar risked his entire life to save so many people.

Moral of the story
Not just for kids
As much as i love horror films i also love kids films. I had meant to watch this since it came out but i kept forgetting. I finally got around to watching it and i loved it! The story is motivational, watching it as an adult you can see the underlying tone of racism and how Judy (the bunny) gets her dream job and does it wonderfully! I even like how she turned Nicks life around. Even though Judy and Nick are different speices i think they'd make a great couple

Massively under rated
This game is so under rated. It's easy to learn, takes around 4 or 5 games to get the hang of. Each game lasts around 15 mins to 30 mins. All of the cards are nicely made and it's suited to 2 to 5 players. I have played this at the pub with friends as it's easy to carry around. All it needs is a couple of fun expansion packs. There are unofficial fan made ones but I didn't want to try them. All in all a great addictive game to play.

Watched it again last night as had not seen it for a while, still enjoyed it. I have questions though - when the rest of the crew woke up 88 years later, yes they found a changed ship but were there descendants of the main characters on the ship or would they have found two decomposed bodies (sorry about that). Sometimes it is good to watch a film where there are only a couple of people in it because you can then get to know them whereas if you watch a fully cast film some of the characters get lost.

I read this book a couple of months ago. I liked it a lot. I was able to connect with some of the characters and my only negative opinion about this book would be that I'd have liked to have seen the main character's focal patient, given a bigger story. Picoult really didn't extend on her as well as I'd hoped. The story was believeable, however I was not happy with the ex husband's stance in the beginnging. I guess I'm that way about religion, I don't agree with christians imposing their beliefs on others so strongly.

good graphics
very educational message
What a cool idea
Well i tried this game not knowing what to expect and i was pleasantly surprised. Its basically an underwater adventure similar to RIME in the way you have to solve puzzles to advance. The graphics are breath taking and the interaction with the underwater wildlife is both educational and fascinating. Apart from a couple of areas with things you have to avoid its a smooth, flowing game that is very relaxing and enjoyable. I would give this a try if you love slow paced adventure games.
