Truth or fiction??

Found this series very enjoyable - maybe a bit too close to possible reality. The main storyline is gripping, and so are the subplots. The ending made me wonder if Grace is likely to join forces with Hicks and Renko. Presuming - hoping - there will be a second series.

Started off kind of with mixed feelings. I was somewhat drawn into the story, but found the author's use of "young-sounding" words to be a bit forced. After the first couple chapters however I was either so hooked I was able to ignore that, or he stopped doing it. Either way, wound up being a dark but enjoyable little book.

I am not one really for fight type films, yet with saying that I found Gladiator a very enjoyable film . One of Russel Crow's better films. At the time of watching this movie I was a big fan of Joaquin Phoenix . Enjoyed Russel's character as well as the other actors characters and have watched this movie a number of times.

Can Freddy be reborn
Alice is pregnant and our good friend Freddy belives he has found a way back and that is thorugh the dreams of her unborn child. Can freddy come back to reek terror in the real world again.

At least least this one had a better story line not the same old revenge story we have become use to.

I loved this book in some ways, but I hated the ending, which didn't wrap up most of the plot threads. I also found the constant rehashing of prior events to be tiresome. Let's be honest: nobody is going to be able to follow this series by starting anywhere but at the beginning, and those who do already know all that stuff!

Blood Matters (Roxanne Prescott, #2)

When adoption guru Sam Brennan is found bludgeoned to death in his house, it starts San Diego Sheriff Department detective Roxanne Prescott on a trail of long hidden secrets. The plot was uneven and really seemed to slow down in second half.

I really liked this graphic novel collection, and was completely bummed when I found out that Marvel cancelled the series after Volume 3. The art is so cute and plucky. Patsy goes from unemployed to opening up a temp agency for people with super powers. She's got a lot of issue and baggage, but she gets through it. Overall, a fun book.

There wasn't as much excitement season 1 (0 more)
It wasn't as good as the first season
To be honest i didn't finish the season. Season 1's villain was so good i found myself wishing he'd come back to life. Or maybe i was brain washed? Either way i don't plan on finishing the last 2 episodes.

We have several of these in our house. Many uses, easy to use. Set lights up so we can have google turn on certain lights. Get news first thing in the morning, set alarms and timers. Found it helpful with kids and homework. Fun features like asking "Where is Santa" or getting goofy answers to random questions.

This was a very entertaining and fast read. It kept me entertained and I read it in just a couple days. I found that I could related to the characters. I did find myself a little annoyed by some of the actions that Yelena did but all in all it was a good book.

I will definitely continue on to the next book.
