This book has it all!! A story line that kept me on the edge of my seat. Characters that come to life right in front of you and the perfect combination of mystery and suspense. This is an all around fantastic read and you won't want to put it down!

Cath is relatable. (2 more)
Draws in young adult readers but also allows "older" adults to relate.
Made me fangirl Rainbow!
Fantastic Teen Fiction
Rainbow Rowell knows how to relate to young adult readers and how to get "older" adults to reflect back and see themselves in the characters' situations. This book made me fangirl Rainbow so bad! Cath and Wren are twins trying to create their own paths as they step into adulthood. Cath struggles along that path
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Schasm (Schasm, #1) in Books

[Shari J. Ryan] did a fantastic job of character development in [Schasm]. This is a very character driven novel that keeps you guessing. Chloe's struggle with her "illness" and even more so with her mother is the center of this story. It gets even more complicated when Alex enters. I still am not sure what is the truth in this book but it left me wanting more. It is a nice non vampire, non sex driven YA romance twist.
Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Mr Mercedes in Books

Well this book started off a bit on the slow side...not like King normally. But let me tell you, once the story got rolling it was hard to put down! And in true Stephen King fashion the ending was fantastic!! My jaw hit the floor & I found myself thinking, "okay, so when does the next book come out!?" The characters are true & real. The plot itself could easily be ripped from the headlines. I can't wait for more!
Sarah (7800 KP) rated Ex Machina (2015) in Movies
Aug 5, 2017
This is one of those smaller films that can quite easily pass a lot of people by. For me, I knew little about it and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. There are some strong performances from a very small cast, Oscar Isaac's dancing can't fail to make me laugh. The visual effects are fantastic, although my only issue is that the ending wasn't entirely unpredictable. However it's still a very good, tense, interesting film.

Terrifyingly Good
This film is a classic. An excellent example of a sci-fi horror and probably Ridley Scott's best film. The Xenomorph is one of the scariest creatures in film today, everything about it is terrifying and paired with the tense confines of a spaceship, is the stuff of nightmares. There are some fantastic visual effects for the time, great cast performances and who doesn't love Jonesy the cat? One of my all time favourites.

Great black comedy with serious elements
This is one of those smaller films that comes out of nowhere and ends up being very enjoyable. It's mostly a black comedy but with some serious and sombre overtones. It's got a fantastic cast, by far one of Colin Farrell's best films and Ralph Fiennes is great as bad guy Harry. It's well written with some brilliant dialogue, and the setting in Bruges is just beautiful. Never fails to make me laugh.

Fantastic art and level design (3 more)
Excellent fun with a couple of friends
Switch version is the best one yet
Musical stages are an absolute treat
Rayman Legends is a masterful platformer that excels in almost every way. It’s stunningly crafted levels, adorable visuals and excellent music all leave a deep, lasting impression.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Celebrity by NSYNC in Music
May 20, 2018
This album was the final by NSYNC (RIP), before JT went solo, and JC tried to go solo. Again, catchy songs, fun to dance to, and the performances during the 2 tours was fantastic. That's one thing you have to give the group, the live performances were on point. I kind of liked the SGT Pepper album reference with the cover of this album, as a 13 year old.
At least they went out on a high note.

To Shulk or Not to Shulk?
While not my favorite She-Hulk story, this comic volume was still fantastic! To me, one of the greatest things about She-Hulk is her balance of Jennifer and her Hulk form. This comic is full of both sides of her and how each of them deals with the challenges that are thrown at them. The author spent as much time on either side of her and that seriously made me happy.
