Ducklady (1174 KP) rated Beyond the Deepwoods (The Edge Chronicles: The Twig Saga #1) in Books

Loved ittbus
This beautifully illustrated book is the book that got me into my love of fantasy. It had me hooked from the beginning. It tells the tale of an outsider called Twig, who feels unwelcome in his own home. He goes on an adventure through the deepwoods and manages to go where no wood troll had gone before. He ventured off the path and risked his life numerous times but came out the other end a stronger person.

Disappointing
I always enjoyed the Addams family, from the original TV series to the 2 live action films, I was hoping for more from this animation, it had a great cast, even the look and feel of it seemed right. However the finished film is terrible in my opinion, its a terrible story that feels very disjointed, I didnt like the way characters acted and I felt this was just a recycled predictable story

The new Bourne
Netflix most expensive film to date and it does show. A very good action film with some crazy scenes set world wide. It feels like a mix of Bourne, John Wick and Mission Impossible along with big Netflix films like 6 Underground, Extraction, Red Notice. It's all about the action really with a rather tried and tested plot. Sit back and enjoy the crazy action scenes.
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Feels Like Summer - Single by Samuel Jack in Music
Jun 17, 2019
Samuel Jack is a singer-songwriter based in London, England. Not too long ago, he released a charming contemporary soul tune, entitled, “Feels Like Summer”.
“There’s definitely a sense of nostalgia about the whole song. I wrote it at a time when I needed those good times to see me through some stuff. Music can totally transcend time and space and take you to all sorts of places when you’re not exactly where you want to be. That’s what this song is for me. It takes me back, it takes me forward, it takes me through.” – Samuel Jack
‘Feels Like Summer’ tells an interesting tale of a young guy who celebrates the good times shared with someone from his past.
Apparently, reminiscing about those magical moments when he was a teenager somehow makes him feel alive. Therefore, he wishes he could live in that moment forever.
‘Feels Like Summer’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and feel-good instrumentation seasoned with stomping percussion, bright brass, and shimmering soundscapes.
Samuel Jack spent his formative years in Johannesburg with his father, a film director.
He was raised on Motown, blues, soul, and roots music. His favorite musical themes include love, pain, and occasionally politics.
Everything he sings is from the heart, about moments in his life and the journey he is currently on.
Not too long ago, he confessed that writing for him is a form of therapy and that honesty plays a key role throughout his songwriting.
“I listen to all sorts of music, but there is something about Rhythm ‘n’ Blues, about Soul, about Gospel that just gets into my veins. The history of it all, the hurt, the pain, the joy, the sex. And when those emotions are delivered by a voice that really means it, I just feel like there can’t be a better way to express yourself.” – Samuel Jack
Samuel Jack’s upcoming album, which is due later this year, narrates the struggles with inner demons and the turbulence of family and relationships.
Also, the project highlights the desire and want for something or someone, and how music helps to build bridges and establish new relationships.

Effectively creates suspense
Good action
Fantastic visuals
Great cast
Very well directed
Some bad characters (1 more)
A bit cheesy in some places
Much better than everyone thinks
Prometheus is a prequel to Alien and a lot of fans weren't happy that it didn't include alien in the title however it's just a name at the end of the day and this film is very very good in my opinion.
The acting is great specifically from Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshal Green and Charlize Theron and the action is great despite coming in small amounts. The whole atmosphere of this world is fantastic because it really feels genuine despite all coming from the mind of Ridley Scott but it is evident that he is very passionate about this series and that makes the film better as it feels honest and dark and legitimately tense. It has some scenes in which I found hard to watch because of the high gore/ horror levels but apart from that it starts well and it ends terrifically as well.

ALL. THE. FEELS!!
This is hands down the best book I have read so far this year, maybe ever. I absolutely LOVE it. Literally got me in all the feels. The author's storytelling ability is amazing. There's so much I could say about this book (I have posted reviews in several places already lol) but I encourage everyone to read it for themselves, it really is just that damn good.
Side note: For those who check out book ratings and reviews on Goodreads before making a decision to read a book (like me lol) please do NOT let the rating fool you. Read the reviews and you will see that most have loved the book. There's been a bit of controversy surrounding the material and one certain blogger's negative review instructed her minions to give it a low rating based on her opinion alone, without actually reading the book themselves. So please don't let that affect your choice to read it!

The writing (1 more)
The conclusion for many characters
Not the ending we hoped for
It's been a long time coming and expectations were very high for this final series to one of the best TV shows ever made. It really shows that this series goes past where the books ended I believe. It's only 6 episodes long despite some being over an hour long. Yet it feels rushed and short of content. When you have had 7 series to build up so many story and characters arcs, it feels rushed bringing it all to an end so quickly. Some storylines just don't pan out as expected. Some of them just don't seem to fit at all, others were far too short. Despite all of this it still has some amazing scenes and action, great SFX and still manages to surprise you with what happens as it always has done. Such a shame it has come to an end. So it's not the ending many hoped for but it has been an epic ride along the way.

Well, I’m pretty disappointed with this one. The start was slow, but intriguing. Then about half way through the novel the author starts dropping pretty obvious clues about how the whole problem will be explained in the end, making the climax…well…anticlimactic.
Once you get to the end, the resolution just feels a bit condescending, especially from the perspective of an adult who is an experienced reader. While kids may not have as much life experience or experience with how a plot develops, I really object to treating them like they are stupid and can’t figure things out.
Along with the simplistic plot, the only character that feels fully developed is the narrator and another character’s little sister. The other three major players in the story feel very flat until the author decided to completely change him/her without any warning.
Overall, the book was frustrating to read, especially toward the end. I was left wondering how Shulman went so wrong with such a great topic and premise.
