Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: In the Blood in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Meh. Overlong, unneeded travelogue with the Doctor and Donna globetrotting all over the Earth... WITHOUT the TARDIS. Flying commercial airliners, just to have a plane crash scene, commuting by rail just to have a train crash scene. The main plot about evil aliens hiding within social media and feeding off negative emotions of posters (i.e. Nerd Rage) is topical, but doesn't fit Doctor Who. Not a particularly well told tale either, when I finally got to the climax it was more of a relief than a satisfactory ending. Was not impressed with this one at all.

beautiful, ambient songs (3 more)
heartbreaking and heartwarming lyrics
reassuringly yet terrifyingly relatable lyrics in terms of their expression of deep, personal emotions that are often hard to articulate
immersive sounds to get lost in
harrowing and beautiful in equal measures, this is one of my favourite second albums of all time. Ben Howard takes an incredibly dark direction in his second album, drawing upon some of the deeper, sadder, darker themes that had crept into his debut album but here confronts the darkness head on

So much detail
The Begining
This is the start of a magical journey. Once you start reading, you won't stop until you've read all 7 and watched all 8 movies. It has so much details. So many people can relate to characters with real life problems from PTSD, Anxiety, ETC and people can relate to the emotions you read about from embarrassment, jealousy and sadness.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Batman the Killing Joke in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Hmm.... I've heard so much about this being the "greatest Batman and/or Joker comic ever written" and I'm left here like, ohhhhkkkaaaay, so what? The art is fantastic, but the story? I feel like it went nowhere. Or maybe just circled around. I don't know, but it was a major disappointment. I understand the parallels between The Joker and Batman, but the execution just wasn't there. I felt there was no humanity, and frankly it all felt very ho-hum and I felt no shock, no sadness or anger, or anything, just absolutely no emotions at all really.
Awix (3310 KP) rated The Aftermath (2019) in Movies
Mar 14, 2019
Yet another Keira Knightley costume drama about well-brought-up people grappling with their repressed emotions. This one is set in post-war Germany where KK is an army wife reunited with her officer husband (Jason Clarke doing an English accent), but she ends up knocking off the German widower (Alexander Skarsgard) whose house they have commandeered.
Decent production values but the performances aren't good enough to lift a story which feels trite, hackneyed and inconsequential. No sense of passion or danger, hard to care about anyone or anything in the movie; it's just incredibly dull and predictable.

Unique narrative style (1 more)
Human-AI relationship
This book is ****ing epic!
The unique format and the eventful plot are just part of the reasons that make Illuminae an incredible reading.
The struggle of the cold logic of an AI that tries to stay true to its core programming but still finds itself evolving, trying to grasp human nature, even feeling emotions that it cannot completely understand (envy, rage, love, fear) reaches peaks that have something of the lyric typical of literary fiction shelf.
And this is just one of the plot line!
I can't wait to find out what's next.

this is the second book in the series but the first that I've read and ill definitely be going back and reading book one. this story was full of angst, heart break, love and some laughter. this author has a fab way of bringing lots of emotions together with a fantastic story and even better characters. the characters develop really well through the story and you just end up falling in love with them. I definitely cant wait to read more in this series and by this author.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Just Dreams in Books
May 7, 2019
I enjoyed this book, the author made the characters realistic. in my opinion the best aspect of this book was the dialogue between the main characters throughout the book. the book was well written and very believable. the story comes off as realistic and not at all silly. I got lost in the characters personalities and the emotions between them. this book keeps you on your toes with the twists and turns throughout the book. I really liked this book and it kept me reading long into the night. highly recommended

I definitely would recommend this book.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated A Beautiful Mess (Beautiful Mess, #1) in Books
May 7, 2019
a bit slow in the beginning chapters but from around chapter 3, i was hooked. there are a lot of different parts to this story, a love story combined with conspiracy, mystery and suspense. the story contains lots of twists and turns and definitely will keep you hooked. the characters were very easy to connect with and you were able to feel all there emotions. the secondary characters also play important roles within the book which only adds to the story. would definitely recommend but remember to have all the books in the set first.
