LilyLovesIndie (123 KP) rated The Greatest Showman (2017) in Movies
Nov 5, 2018
Enjoyable and catchy
I came late to this, after the hype had reached me and whilst I found it to be an exciting, enjoyable and engaging movie, I felt it didn't quite live up to the way it had been reviewed by my friends and family. That's not to say I didn't find myself tapping my feet and gunning along, just that although I will watch again at some point, I'm not going to be in the club who watched this hundreds of times a week!

Just pick this manga up for the artwork as it is stunning! Absolutely beautiful ❤
I must admit I haven't read the original novel but after reading this I would like to give it a go.
The only negatives I found in this book is that it felt a bit rushed like too much was packed into one volume so things got a bit confusing at times. Maybe reading the novel will clear things up.

From Goodreads: This story I found to be quite boring. Mia does have a backbone, and she seems to know what she wants, but I don't know how she finds Kenyon so appealing. All I saw in him was a pompous d-bag. I mean, at least he never cheated on a woman, I guess. For a novella, there was barely in action in it. Romances like these seem to get lamer and lamer the more I read them. Huh, I wonder what that says about me.

An epic journey worthy of Brooks and Tolkein
This is my favourite one of the DT series so far. It really was an epic journey. I loved the characters and how verything came together. King's sense of humour is there throughout the story; the emotional journey is as epic as the physical one.
I couldn't put this one down, I found myself glued to every word and despearate to know what was going to happen. I can't wait to read the next one.

David McK (3369 KP) rated That's Me in the Middle (The Bandy Papers, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The second book in Donald Jack's Bandy papers series, this is the novel that convinced me to read more of his works.
Set during the last year of the First World War (1914 - 1918), I have to say I found this book to be funnier than both the later installments in the series, and than the previous entry ("Three Cheers For Me"): indeed, this book was the cause of me getting some funny looks when I burst out laughing in work one lunch-time ...

Awkward Acting
Felt Like A Filler
Though the graphics of this movie were super cool the whole movie played awkwardly. There was a spark for something to really be there somewhere in the middle but in the end the actors looked awkward within their suits and characters as a whole. Plus from the angle in which most scenes were shot I found a lot of the effect distorted despite the amazing graphics displayed throughout the scenes.
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Lady in the Coppergate Tower in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received this copy of The Lady Lady in the Copper gate Tower from Shadow Mountain Publishing through Netgalley.
This steampunk romance was so much fun! Hazel and Sam are such great characters and I loved Hazel's deperation to have a family.
I found it very relatable.
Well, maybe not the mentally unstable twin sister
Or the uncle who might be a vampire
Or the assistant who might be a Murder.
Ok, you got me
But this one was an absolute ball to read.

Too many characters
Good for a Christmas mystery
For a Christmas genre novel this was great but in general it's just okay. It has not too much to do with Christmas and there is a solid mystery story that is intriguing. There are so many characters in such a short novel and I found it easy to get a little lost but the story isn't too complicated either. It's an easy one or two sitting read.
Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated Avengers: Endgame (2019) in Movies
Jul 18, 2019
Even though bits of the movie are slow moving, there still isn't really a good time to leave as there is so much information given as it progresses. Once the action starts, it doesn't stop. I was not ready for the amount of tears I would shed while watching the final Avengers movie. I did feel that some things lacked a proper explanation at the climax of the movie but found it enjoyable, nevertheless. Definitely worth popping some popcorn and settling in for the show.
