David McK (3906 KP) rated Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire, Vol. 2 in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Second entry in Marvel's new Star Wars Legends series, this (as the title suggests) is set between the events of The Rise of the Sith, and of A New Hope.
Following on from Vol. 1 of the same ([b: Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire, Volume 1|23153104|Star Wars Legends Epic Collection The Empire, Volume 1|John Ostrander|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1420825979s/23153104.jpg|42700777]), the stories in here are all inter-connected through the use of recurring characters, with Vader popping up occasionally to play a pivotal role.
As before, some of the stories (and Artwork) are better than others: for my money, the best is probably 'Blue Harvest', followed closely by 'Out of the Wilderness'. The full list is as follows:
Parallels (parts 1 to 5)
Vector (parts 5 and 6)
Blue Harvest (parts 1 to 5)
Out of the Wilderness (parts 0 to 5)

The action continues in this the 5th instalment in the 14 book series. While there are somewhat less epic revelations or events than in the previous books, this keeps the story moving and some key interactions with the Forsaken occur.
I started to feel in this book that the action was being spread out a little, at a whopping 900+ pages the pace started to drag a little.

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: The Wormery in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Fantastic Character interplay. Come for the 6th Doctor and Iris, and stay for the convoluted plot that has some truly great ideas (like the transcendental, transdimensional engineering of a TARDIS) that are meant to be epic reveals thrown at you like lazy softballs... they come in so frustratingly slowly and obviously that by the time they land, you cant be bothered to swing at them. So maddening. For more, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

OMG... I just can't. This book was epic. I love how much the story gripped me and wouldn't let go. It was a great sequel to the first. You learned more about the characters you already loved and it makes you love them more. I can't wait to read the next one. The world created in this book is amazing. It's definitely in my top 10 series to read.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Wyatt Earp (1994) in Movies
Mar 7, 2018
An epic western charting the life of Wyatt Earp. Very long at over 3 hours and the first hour is a bit slow. It has a good cast and production and finally the action towards the end is pretty good. However if you have seen Tombstone the ending is very similar but I felt that was a slightly better movie. If you're not keen on westerns go for Tombstone instead.

Emotional!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I binge watched the tv series and thought it was epic. Really hits you in the feels.
So, naturally I had to read the book as well and compare the two. They’re both amazing, as always the books better but that’s just my opinion.
The story about the tapes and what happened in the run up to the girls suicide really being up a variety of emotions.
