Roxanne (13 KP) rated Bond of Blood (Texas Vampires #1) in Books
Nov 14, 2018
A very steamy book indeed and a good story overall. The reason i gave this book 3 stars is because i found it very hard to get into and hard to understand at times. There seemed to be a lot going on all at once and the story kept jumping back and forward through time, also the constant having to look at the back of the book for the glossary was very distracting, other than that it was a very enjoyable read.

Book lovers dream
I absolutely love reading, whether physical copies or on my kindle. When I found this app I didn’t think I would use it much but I was so wrong. I rarely forget to bring my book or kindle with me wherever I go however on the occasion that I do, I know I have got my phone which means I can still get my reading fix!

Marauders
Bruce Willis plays a powerful Cincinnati banker, Jeffrey Hubert.
Then there are a group of Kevlar masked dangerous and impulsive baddies running all over town robbing the branches of Hubert’s banks.
The FBI becomes involved and they are left with confusing clues, including a finger print from a dead man on various pieces of evidence.
All through the story line you think you know who’s behind the Kevlar masks only to be thrown off as more evidence is found.

Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated The Stranger In The Woods:The Extraordinary Story Of The Last True Hermit in Books
Dec 10, 2018
Genuinely, I found this book a little disappointing in the sense that it didn't really talk about what it was like for him to live in the woods for all those years. I wanted to know what it was like for him and how he liked living off the land, which he technically didn't really "live off the land" even. I felt like the author was kind of rude and disrespected the man's wishes to be left alone and it was pretty annoying.
Hazel (1853 KP) rated Me and Mr. Darcy in Books
Dec 14, 2018
I hesitated before rating this book. It was not as bad as two stars but I am not sure it is worthy of three, so let us say it is two and a half. Whilst I liked the Jane Austen/<i>Pride and Prejudice</i> references, I am not really a fan of Chick Lit and at times found it a bit tedious. However there were times when I got into the story line; I did read it in one day after all...
Charley (64 KP) rated Sex Education in TV
Jan 26, 2019
Funny from start to finish
This Netflix show files the life of a 16year old lady and his struggles to navigate teenage life. His mum is a sex therapist and he has issues with his ability to get a girl.
Eventhough it is about teenagers I found that I could still enjoy the show as it made me laugh the things that you know all teenagers go through.
Looking forward to another series.

David McK (3369 KP) rated Final Crisis in Books

What. On. Earth. ?!?!?
I picked this one up out of curiosity as part of DC's ongoing hardbacked editions of famous(?) stories and, honestly? I wish I hadn't bothered.
The 'Final Crisis' was on ongoing series arc across several different properties - Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, etc - prior to the 'New 52' and - I have to say - is everything that would put average Joe off superhero comics in that I found the story to be convoluted, pretentious, and making next-to-no-sense-whatsoever.
Avoid.

David McK (3369 KP) rated The Lost Symbol: (Robert Langdon Book 3) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
The third Dan Brown book featuring Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and, like his previous books ("Angels and Demons", "The Da Vinci code", "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress" - the first two in that list also featuring Robert Langdon), I found it to be an entertaining enough read without being anything special.
I have to say, I also think that (one of) the supposed big reveals was actually pretty obvious from roughly 1/3 of the way into the story, which didn't really help ...

David McK (3369 KP) rated Daggerspell (Deverry, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Despite having an intriguing premise involving re-incarnation, I have to say: I found this book to be quite heavy going, and not so much slow going as moving at a glacial pace.
While it did show flashes of promise, I felt that it never really took off at all or really grabbed my attention: indeed, at times it felt like a chore to be reading it (as a matter of principle, if I start a book I finish it).
Not impressed. :(

Forced Doctor Connection
Surprisingly Amazing
I was pleasantly surprised finding that I actually really enjoyed this series. As someone who enjoyed the previous spin offs from Doctor Who I found that I actually almost liked this better than even Torchwood. It was clear to mehowever that theconnection to Doctor Who seemed a little forced and almost unnecessary as the series could easily have stood on it's own as a really good TV show.
