Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Nocturnal (The Noctalis Chronicles, #1) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
DNF @ 36%.
Four days of reading and not even half way through yet. That shows my lack of enthusiasm for this book. It was taking far too long to get interesting in my opinion. She kept going out and meeting him in the graveyard and having very strange, almost one sided conversations with Peter. I didn't see her fascination with him and found the rest of the storyline rather boring in that bit I did read.
Not for me at all.

Nope ... not for me ... hard to feel anything for any of the characters and hard to get into - sorry but I found it pretty boring and I can't bring myself to recommend it although there are plenty of very positive and 4 and 5 star reviews out there so obviously it appeals to others so don't take my word for it ... try it for yourself.

Just wanted to hurry up and finish the series
Drags on
First episode you think oh my world this is going to be an amazing series, then you think ok it's slowing down which is normal not every series can be packed full of drama. I found myself really looking forward to finishing it. Not because it was so amazing but because I wanted a bit more drama.

Bob (1 more)
Continuation of The One and Only Ivan
The One and Only Bob follows Bob, the dog who is friends with the gorilla Ivan from The One and Only Ivan. While it is must read if you loved Ivan, I found this one falling a little short of Ivan. That being said, the writing style is fantastic with an easy flow that will keep you turning pages. Just like Ivan, Bob teaches valuable life lessons that are good for anyone, at any age.

Netflix horror drama, that more than owes a debt to the strikingly-familiar 'A Quiet Place': again, we have creatures that hunt by sound (here, of the winged variety that swarm their victim), a strong focus on a family group, and a deaf girl at the centre of it all.
While critics seem to prefer 'A Quiet Place', I actually found this to be the slightly better of the two: only slightly, mind, as neither were great (in my book).

Ross (3284 KP) rated The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd in Music

Rolling Stone's 347th greatest album of all time
I realise what this album was meant to be, Pink Floyd starting to create the prog genre. And it truly is progressive. However, that mentality overlaid on the music of the time, Merseybeat style Rhythm & Blues, just doesn't work for me. Most of it I found quite hard to listen to. I think Pink Floyd were just ahead of their time and the music of the era didn't fit well with experimental stylings.

Probably One of The Weirdest
This is one of the weirdest movies I ever found myself watching and because of it I honestly cannot describe which parts were good and which parts were bad. The film was hilarious if you were looking for a bad rendition of the 80s going in but otherwise you just end up with a weird twisted 80s movie put to weird techno remixes made into musical vibing tunes.... Yeah definitely one of the weirder watches out there.
Awix (3310 KP) rated Stars in Their Eyes in TV

Panto karaoke gameshow. Contestants are made up to resemble their favourite singers, whom they then impersonate. I always found that most of the entertainment value came from some of the so-called look-a-likes actually looking-nothing-a-like whoever they were supposed to be. Moments branded into my brain include an Xmas special featuring a group performance by 'George Formby', 'Benny Hill', and 'Rolf Harris', and an early show where someone performed as Janet Jackson in blackface. The horror, the horror.
