Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated The Only Story in Books
Jan 10, 2018
Following the story of protagonist Paul, a 19-year-old man-child, attempts to find his feet in the world by defying social conventions. Enter Susan, a married woman with two grown children even older than Paul. Beginning innocently after joining a tennis club, Paul seems to grow increasingly attracted to the almost middle-aged woman, but is clearly ambiguous about his motives for pursuing her. Is it out of sheer rebellion against his traditional upbringing or just another yarn to tell his university friends? What does become increasingly apparent is that it is not just a summer affair, as things start to unravel over time. The question posed by the book at the end is: "Would you rather love the more, and suffer the more; or love the less, and suffer the less?"
As per usual, Julian Barnes is a unique storyteller, able to adapt his writing every single time. It is vastly different from some of his other works such as The Noise of Time, which is written almost like a Russian classic. This, on the other hand, is written in an honest first-person narrative, sounding genuinely like a happy-go-lucky teenager. While it is not a perfect story, especially as the chronology feels inconsistent, it is an easy read.

What would you feel like if everything you ever believed in was ripped away in one tragic instant? That's what Luke battles and I was so angry with him for so long in this book! I found myself on more than one occasion wanting to throw the book across the room. But, in trademark Kingsbury fashion, she weaved messages of hope, forgiveness, understanding and acceptance into her pages, and it wrapped me up instantly. Luke's story is a powerful one and I will forever love it.
This book should be able to get more than a simple 5 star rating. This book is emotional, utterly raw and absolutely breathtaking. The characters are now your family, the lessons are yours. All of it wrap up to make one unforgettable novel in a sweep-you-off-your-feet series. Ms. Kingsbury's shelf is graced with Luke's story and when someone asks me my favorites, his will always be one of the first to slip off the shelf. Well done, once again, on another amazing addition to this incredible family story.

Molly J (Cover To Cover Cafe) (106 KP) rated Darkwater Secrets (Darkwater Inn #1) in Books
Feb 27, 2019
The Darkwater Inn has characters that are chiseled just right for their roles. The emotions they felt, I could feel as my own. The plot line that they are in, is intense and had me on the edge of my seat on more than one occasion. I was turning each page, needing to know what was happening next. When I found out? Oh, you'll just need to grab this book up and see for yourself what I read, what I felt, and what the characters went through in the French Quarter.
Mrs. Caroll has created another book that is worthy of 4 stars and high recommendations. If you want an edge of your seat, suspenseful novel full of twists and turns, then grab this one up now. I can't wait to see what she has in store for her fans in book 2! Well done, Mrs. Caroll. Well done.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Game Of Thrones - Season 4 in TV
Jun 18, 2019
Season 4 has some truly important, stand out moments, perhaps none more important that the Purple Wedding, where we see Joffrey finally get his comeuppance.
An event that everyone had been waiting for, it's initially a fist in the air moment, but then the camera lingers on his purple, choked face, and it's suddenly harder to watch - a fine example of GoT giving us what we want before making us question it all moments later.
In a similar fashion, were also introduced to Oberyn Martell, a great, suave character that everyone loved, only for him to be brutally torn from us, in one of the goriest moments in the shows history. Godammit.
This season also boasts the first episode length battle, where the wildlings attack the wall. It's quite a spectacle, showing that the production values are pretty damn impressive considering it's not a big budget movie.
We are also treated to Tyrions trial, which is another fantastic piece of television - no action needed in this episode, all dialogue, and it's marvellous. For me, GoT never quite hit the peak of season 4 going forward.
The set pieces, the script, the casting, the musical score - it's all perfect.
