Book Rating

While I was younger I loved this book but as I got older I found that the writing was not great but it still has a great story

The epic story of Bilbo Baggins was great when ideas a kid as who wouldn't love a quest with dragon dwarves and elves. As I got older I found that the writing wasn't great but I still loved the story and all that it entails

Movie Rating

One of the best films I've seen in years. Although since watching it I've found out that some of the key bits of info in the film had been changed which was a shame. The main actor, rami? Was absolutely spectacular. I don't think they could of found a better actor to take this role on. I laughed, I cried. It's defo worth a watch even if you aren't a queen fan - like myself

Have you been able to figure out how to prevent items that havent been released yet from appearing in the daily missions?

I've found a lot of varied ratings on items from months ago that either havent been released yet or have only just been released, and these really skew the overall rating of the item.

An example I've found today is The War of the Worlds, the new BBC drama that started last week.

Hey @Sarah & @Erika , I think the main issue is when these items are presented on the Daily Missions quite a few users get confused because generally the items we see rated before their release are either sequels or remakes to popular originals - however, we are in the works of adding a 'TBR' feature on the items creation :)

Book Favorite

"For me, Auster’s masterpiece, and worth our waiting for. The dazzling scope of his inventiveness is breathtaking. Healthily nostalgic for us who are contemporary with his multiple central character. A compulsive read; I found it hard to put down, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I found the negative response to the book in some quarters quite astonishing, but as the frequent recipient of diametrically opposite reviews myself, I ought to know better!"

Watched the first two episodes gonna watch the rest over the weekend so far it looks like a winner didn't like Courtney at found a bit spiteful to pat her step dad but once she found the staff she became more likeable as a character it Will be interesting to see where the remaing episodes go as we get to see the rest of the supporting cast of heroes and villains

Though this was an interesting read, I found myself more often than not wishing that the book would hurry up and end. I guess this one just wasn't meant for me.

It's ok

I am not sure what all they hype was about. I at times found it confusing with all the different point of views. It was just ok for me.

It’s a movie that plays extremely well in theatres. The music and pageantry are off the charts, found myself smiling out of pure joy watching it at multiple points (0 more)

Amazing show
