Dean (6927 KP) rated Zatoichi (2003) in Movies
Jun 13, 2018
Ok seems I missed something here?? This film has great reviews but I found it very slow and the fights are far to quick, barely fights at all. I don't know of the other Zatoichi films this was inspired by but this felt like a film made 30 years ago. Some of the scenes become very boring and repetitive along with minimal dialogue. The end fight is good but it's a long slow numb build up to it!
Booksnthreads (19 KP) rated Doctor Who: Time Lord Fairy Tales in Books
Jun 5, 2018
I love fairy tales, and I love Doctor Who, so this book was absolutely perfect. It's also a wonderful combination of retold familiar tales and original stories that are in the vein of fairy tales.
I found it fun that in most stories, I could clearly identify which Doctor was appearing in that story. I also appreciated that he is often not the main character.
It was so much fun to read that it was over far too quickly.

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!
The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)
And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!
Definitely give this one a read!!

"I saw the future, and in it I was alive."
Neil Hilborn is my favorite so the five stars is probably a little biased. However I love all his work. I love watching him perform the poems and I love reading them. I honestly never really cared about poetry until I found him by accident about a year ago, and now I read poems as much as I read fiction. So thank you Neil, and thank you button poetry.

Amanda (30 KP) rated Successful Coaching in Books
Jun 21, 2018
This was a very helpful textbook that I used for a coaching class to get a certification in coaching from the American Sport Education Program. A lot of the information was common sense, but there was some information that I found to be interesting. I enjoyed being able to discuss this with the class. I strongly recommend this if you are clueless about coaching a sport, otherwise I'm not sure how much you would really benefit from it.

Awesome
I absolutely loved this book. I found the characters fascinating, complex and believable. I genuinely couldn't predict which way the story was going to go and I love the fact that it was set in a kind of steampunk Victorian England setting. I especially enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Mori's clockwork. I get that this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of novel but I definitely loved it.

englishrose08 (9 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4 in Video Games
Aug 14, 2018
the game that never lets you down
I couldn't wait for this to be released, as i have played them all, and fall out 4 never let me down once, from the changing your features until the end, the story captivated and drew me in. and just because i clocked the game, it didn't stop there, i found my self making new towns and doing a lot of side quests, definitely value for money as always.

unique storyline (1 more)
the inclusion of the pictures make the story feel authentic
I read a lot of books and this was one of the most unique plot lines I have ever come across.
The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 is because the story did tend to get a bit confusing. I found myself being confused by the sheer amount of characters and having to slip back to remind myself who was who.

Charlotte Cartlidge (22 KP) rated Elizabeth is Missing in Books
Aug 18, 2018
Elizabeth is missing is an easy read tackling a tough subject matter (dementia). I was gripped from the get go reading about Maud and attempting to unmuddle her mind. I found myself very attached to her story both past and present. Without giving away to much, a slightly disappointing ending, leaving me with more questions than I had to begin with. Overall I loved Emma Healeys storytelling and would read a few more of her books in the future
