Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat in Books

Fascinating and tragic - a journey into the human brain
Oliver Sacks, the late eminent British neurologist, is wonderfully curious and compassionate while journeying into people's experiences of the human brain. It is both humorous in some aspects but mostly tragic and terrifying to see how fragile human beings truly are. It is explained in the simplest of terms, though there is still a lot of scientific jargon. And some particular cases such as the disembodied woman and the man with nightmares is rather frightening. Fantastic read.

Beautifully written, elegant and poignant
Unwaveringly brilliant pulling on each and every heart string. This poignant, rich portrayal of Paris life is completely immersive with moments of pure beauty. Written in the perspective of tenants living in a Parisian apartment, it encompasses modern tribulations with contemporary social politics including terror attacks and the rise of discrimination not to mention the human stories that hold it together. Fran Cooper is a genuinely fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.
Sarah (7800 KP) rated Black Mirror - Season 2 in TV
Aug 28, 2017
This is by far the strongest and best series so far of Black Mirror. As always, each episode is a dark and intriguing tale of technology, social media and pop culture. The Waldo episode is probably the weakest out of the 4, but even that is still good. There's a fantastic cast with Domhall Gleeson, Hayley Atwell, Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall and some brilliant storylines. The Christmas episode is by far my favourite, and a welcome change to the usual sickeningly sweet Christmas shows.

Interesting take on a biopic
Screenplay
A Great Biopic
You can't really go wrong with Danny Boyle and Michael Fassbender. This is a fascinating take on Jobs' life and an intriguing idea to have it focus on a few major events as opposed to his entire life. Fassbender puts in a fantastic performance with a great supporting cast, and Aaron Sorkin's script is packed with wit and humour. My only criticism would be it is slightly slow paced at times.

May 16, 2018
What a fantastic book! It is well written with a great plot and characters. This book is full of action, adventure, magic and romance. It is fast paced and I couldn't put it down. Gia is a great main character she is strong, smart and witty but she is also practical. Drake is very creative I love the whole book jumping concept. Drake's world building is slowly and beautifully done. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

What a fantastic show. Very clever concepts with great characters and a wonderfully funny and realistic representation of the social circles Nadia has. Natasha Lyonne very clearly channels AL Pacino in her portrayal which isn't a bad thing but shows she's a very good and engaging actress. Loved the depth and layers to the characters and the twists and redirects were constantly superb. Kansas City Shuffles everywhere.
The comedy was funny and the poignancy was powerful.

Fantastic Cooperative game
This game is a cooperative game until the haunt is revealed, where someone can potentially be a traitor. The traitor doesnt even know if they are the traitor until the haunt. This game has tons of different scenarios and the board is built out differently each game as well, based on where players explore. This means each play through is unique, which i enjoy. This game is not super complex, but the variability of it makes it fun

Fantastic collection
I listened to this thinking I would skip anything except Boys Don't Cry, Friday I'm in Love and Lovecats. I was heavily influenced by Newman and Baddiel's cruel take-down of the Cure in the 90s, so expected it all to be gloomy and dirgey. However having listened to this on serious rotation for the last few weeks I now skip those songs in preference for the rest! Never Enough, Just Like Heaven, Pictures of You and Just Say Yes are absolute bangers.
