The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Vox in Books
Oct 5, 2020
(Thanks for the free book, @PRHGlobal/@prhinternational) What would you do if you were a woman in a world where your gender is so repressed, you are limited to speaking only 100 words a day, with painful consequences if you break that rule (literally)? Christina Dalcher’s first full-length novel starts out with this premise to build a dystopian society that feels like Atwood on steroids. To find out if that’s a good thing or not, you can read my review of “Vox: A Novel” in my latest book review on my blog here.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Sweet Bea (Sir Arthur's Legacy, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
*I only read this as part of a reading list on Booklikes*
DNF @ 32%.
This was a bit too historical for my liking, set in the time of jousting and the like--or so it feels--and I prefer my historical fiction/romances to be set in the time of balls and chaperones and poofy dresses, aka Regency.
I didn't really like the plotline too much with this either. I got really confused at the beginning and this didn't help me later on. I quickly lost interest until I finally decided to give it up as a DNF.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Dexter - Season 8 in TV
Jan 23, 2021
Do you remember the Monsters?
So the final series of what has been a classic show. No wonder it won so many awards and accolades. This series has Dexter trying to balance his life along with his dark passenger. After the ending of the last series how will his relationship with Deb be effected. So it feels slightly different to the majority of the previous series formats. It's still very good although the final episode and ending was rather disappointing to an excellent show. Let's wait and see where the new series picks up.
Kristina (502 KP) rated The Hard Truth About Sunshine in Books
Dec 7, 2020
The Hard Truth About Sunshine was a very raw, very real experience of how I couldn't even begin to imagine a wounded veteran feels like. Sure, I mentioned that Christopher was hard to like, but I never for a second forgot the trauma he was living with. Even still, I was thankful to watch his perspective on life change. Traveling with Christopher, Jillian, Conner, and Barb was enlightening. There were so many ups and downs, but the meaning behind the book is a lesson that's not just hard to learn, but impossible for some people to acknowledge.
Dean (6927 KP) rated Slasher - Season 3 in TV
Dec 11, 2020
Feels low budget (2 more)
Poor acting
Predictable
Disappointing
I waited a long time to see this, as it only recently became available on UK Netflix. The first 2 series were great and felt like very good Slasher films and were done well as a series.
This is no where near as good though sadly. Low budget, mainly filmed in a small apartment block. The story isn't as good and becomes fairly predictable by about the 5 episode. It felt like a bit of a slog to finish even at 8 episodes. Stick to the first 2 series.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Waiting On You by Lindsay Ell in Music

Oh girl... Don't get me started. You had me from the midnight kisses and the tremolo.
“Where this is going baby I can’t say
Every time you leave me I just want you to stay
but I gotta know where you stand”
— Lindsay Ell
Like a fast car waiting for the green to go this feels like the Nashville machine took a second to say what's up with real life: young love and maybe a night out on the town. It's the candy you want at the end of the party; a fusion of Nashville pop and Country know-how.

Terri Wiltshire (21 KP) rated Brave New World in Books
Sep 1, 2019
Well developed flawed protagonists who really come alive. (3 more)
Scarily believable future scape.
Feels like a warning without being preachy
Fantastically poignant ending
Ahead of his time. A must for sci fi fans
If you like science fiction read this. This is part of our history, part of the beginning. So much other great literature sprang from and was inspired by this novel.
Detailed believable culture and characters that despite living in the dystopian world created by Huxley are relatable and real. Flawed humans trying to find meaning to their existence.
No spoilers...just read it.
