Solid whodunit (2 more)
Interesting characters
Great setting
New take on Agatha Christie
I loved the setting and feel it was described well, I had a clear perspective of the perils. The writing illicits feelings for all the characters which made the story very readable, I red it over 24 hours. This would make an excellent movie particularly with the lights going out.
I guessed the big plot twists other than the final killer. I think the killers parts could have been better written and/or more prominent. Overall, a good fast paced read that would be great to dip in and out of whilst travelling or whilst on holiday (if we are ever allowed again).

OK, I now have a new bar set for complete over the top ridiculousness in this spin off from the Fast and Furious movies (as an aside, I remember when they actually used to be about illegal street racing).
Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham (Hobbs and Shaw respectively) reprise their roles from the later F&F films, here reluctantly teaming up in a plot that also involves Idris Elba's cyborg soldier (who even goes so far as to call himself a Black Superman at one point) and Shaw's sister Hattie, who has been framed for stealing a deadly virus.
Over the top? Absolutely.
(but the cast all seem to be having great fun)

Interactive movie.
I've only played this game through once and I was rather satisfied with my ending but I was also rather disappointed.
We don't get all the answers to many of the questions the game puts to mind. It just sort of.. ends, without explaining further and I absolutely hated that about the game.
All in all the story was interesting but rather confusing. For an interactive movie it was okay but if I was rating it as a movie alone I'd have given it a much lower rating.
I also dislike how fast the options disappear from the screen. My eyesight is bad and it was difficult to read all the options before they disappeared.

I admit to being a rather big fan of Mel Sherratt's books having read several previously so was hoping this was going to be as good ... I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.
Ten Days has got it all ... great characters, intriguing storyline, fast paced, twists, turns and a very satisfying ending.
Ten Days is one of those books that is so compelling that you can't stop reading and I found myself taking every opportunity to read just one more chapter which quickly became several!
I would certainly recommend this and any of Mel's previous books; she delivers every time.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Board Game News (72 KP) rated Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart in Tabletop Games
Jan 11, 2021
Fast-paced, easily doable in 30 minutes if everyone knows how to play. (3 more)
Good option if playing with kids, as there is a lot of randomnesses.
The Mario Kart theme well implemented, shooting shells, etc. at each other is fun.
Not very Monopoly-like.
VERY random, not for gamers, better suited for families preferrable with kids. (2 more)
The quality of the cards are so-so.
If you are a Monopoly fan, you will be disappointed as the properties part of the game is very light. Also, you can't buy hotels, etc.
An OK game for kids and families.

Cori June (3033 KP) rated The Blue Sword (Damar, #1) in Books
Sep 19, 2019
A fast read. Set in the desert there are illusions to Colonization, the main Character Harry, she prefers her nickname to her actual name, is from a place called Home (yes original I know) which resembles if not England than America. She goes to Damar (MiddleEast/ North Africa) to be with her brother after their father dies. and although they never say her age I'd place her closer to 15 than 20. Harry is that awkward wild child that grows into her own. She is a strong female character that is humble and while out of her depth still tries to maintain a type of dignity.

The Fast and The Furious
Death Race 2000- is one of stallone's earliest roles.
The Plot: In the year 2000, America is a totalitarian regime on the brink of collapse. The most popular sport in this dystopia is the Transcontinental Road Race, where teams earn points for logging the fastest time and for mowing over the most innocent pedestrians in the process. This year's competitors include Frankenstein (David Carradine), who is rumored to be more machine than man, and the tough-as-nails "Machine Gun" Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone). Some have a plan to stop the race.
I would highly reccordmend this movie. Its fun, action-packed, set in the future and more.
