I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I really wanted to like this one because I do feel that it has some interesting, useful information.
However it contains blatant transphobia and I cannot in good conscience recommend it.

Rolling Stone's 440th greatest album of all time
The Pogues' best known album featuring a number of good fun upbeat songs with a post-punk yet Irish folk feel. A mix of original songs, some traditional Irish folk songs and the famous version of the Dubliners' Dirty Old Town.

Good but could be better
So a film that caused some controversy when it was released, with gangs turning up to cinemas with knives resulting in it being pulled from most cinemas. The irony in that the film tries to highlight some causes of it and how stupid it is to get mixed up in. It does feel a lot like the recent Top Boy series, although not as good. Also featuring some of the main actors from that. Also a lot like @Kidulthood (2006) Some of the characters do just come across as very dumb and easily manipulated. Sadly some guys in gangs get caught up with some misguided idea of loyalty. It really didn't need the rap cameos from Rapman though, they just feel out of place. Overall the story is interesting and makes for a good film, but it will feel like you've seen it all before. It's not up to the quality of similar films.

This is amazing. It really gets you invested in the characters, the dog is so adorable, and the story is nice.
I like to stop half way, because then it is just a feel good family movie, and I will not bawl my eyes out

Kristina (502 KP) rated Undone (Will Trent, #3) in Books

Karin is good at suspense; heck, not good, great. But I felt so much frustration with this book. I just wanted to know. Each misleading piece of information made me more irritated. Angie's return had my teeth clenching - I really do not like that woman. I liked Undone, but it's not my favorite Slaughter/Will Trent book and I can only hope I don't feel the same way about the next installment.
