Auburn (57 KP) rated Winter War Awakening (Blood Rose Rebelion #3) in Books

Apr 10, 2019

The final in a wonderfully written trilogy this story brings together some of my favorite things. Reliance on someone that you barely know and fighting for what you believe in while conquering yourself. While I did get a tad bored through some of it most of the book follows the same format and writing style as the first two. This makes it an easy read that can be done all in one sitting. You will find yourself swept into the world and enjoying the main characters while rooting for them.
Perfect for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia.

starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Trust (Alex Conner Chronicles, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2018

Holy wow, this was wonderful. It has magic, to be specific earth magic, and it has mystery and love and paranormal. There is fighting, making up, love, night life, magic, and so much more. Alex Conner is witty, sexy, strong, and a mystery. Parker Sinclair's writing takes you on a whirlwind of emotions and intrique and mystery. It is an amazing start to a wonderful series and it will pull you into this fast paced story that you have to keep reading until it's over and you still need more. I cannot wait for book 2 and to see what happens next.

Quite possibly my favourite film of all time

I love this film. While it is slightly dated, and bears next to no resemblance to the Richard Bachman book on which it was based, it is such a fun, action-packed and surprisingly thought-provoking film. The use of convicts in light entertainment is a subject that has been explored elsewhere in the media (Black Mirror for one) but for me this nails my vision of what we'll be watching in future - it isn't that far from Love Island, just with less willing contestants and slightly more fighting.

Video Game Rating

The first game I always purchase when I have a Playstation, is Tekken. I played the crap out of Tekken 2 on the PS when I was a kid. So, when I purchased a PS3, Tekken 6 was the first game I purchased and played. Tekken is an excellent fighting game with a large variety of characters. Nina is probably my favorite, and always has been.
The only gripe I have is the skimpy clothing on the females, like legit a chick wouldn't fight in some bikini thing. But, that's a gripe I have with all female video game characters.

David McK (3721 KP) rated First Sword (Roman Arena, #3) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The third book in Simon Scarrow's Arena series of e-book exclusives, this (like the previous two) only consists of 9 chapters and so is a pretty short read.

Unlike the last entry, however, Macro plays more of a role in this story, which is set in and around the running of a lanista (Gladiator 'school') rather than in an Arena. Again, the culmination of the novel is a fight between two Gladiators: this time, though, they are fighting in the grounds of the lanista (one for survival, the other to escape) rather than in the Arena for the amusement of the mob ...

Movie Rating Watch

Often compared to Saving Private Ryan for its gritty and unforgiving story of brotherhood and loss.
This time we are shown what it's like to fight from the confines of a dark and cramped tank, and we are shown how each man has to work not only very closely with each other but as one fighting tool.
Brad Pit is quite the actor and is the father figure here and the glue that binds his men together.
One to watch if you love war movies although at times it does feel like an anti war war movie.
