Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Caillou Loves His Mommy in Books
Apr 10, 2018
This book is bright and colourful and the illustrations are really attractive to a younger reader. Caillou wants his Mommy’s attention and tries several different ways until the game of hide and seek begins. Many of the actions will be familiar to any youngster allowing them to empathise with the character of Caillou. My 4 1/2 year old advanced reader read this to me without issue and found it a “brilliant book because there are just the right number of words in it. I really liked the song from Mommy”.

Unputdownable!!
I read this in one sitting: I was a captive audience, stuck on a train for a 6 hour journey. Honestly though, I would have found it very hard to drag myself away from it if I'd read it at home as well. It's such a rollercoaster of a story and i wouldn't be at all surprised if it's optioned for a movie (is it yet?). It's probably mainly about 'the road not taken', and how we make life choices that we then feel stuck with. But what a way to do it!

Love, love, love, love, love Amazon!
If we could do all of our shopping with Amazon we would. The app is so easy to use. And items can be bought and paid for at the slide of a button. Great bargains to be found. The only thing they don't sell are meat/fish and vegetables/fruit. If they started doing that they'd take over the world! You can find pretty much anything. A fantastic app that's never crashed.

Ambitious
Well I guess everyone who loved Get Out is hoping for the best with this 2nd film by Jordan Peele. You kinda expect this to be quite odd and in that respect it is. The problem I found is it feels like a comedy horror at times, often unintentionally. The cinema were laughing at parts I think were supposed to be freaky. To top it off the final revelation was predictable for me. So a bold effort, entertaining film but it might leave you feeling indifferent.

I fell in love with Will and Awa throughout the book and really felt a bond with the characters. I found it fascinating to read about the different historical events and I really think this is an interesting way to spread knowledge of history! I’d rather learn about history when it is mixed in with fiction than sit down with a textbook!
The novel is constantly exciting, and it kept me gripped right up until the end.
I really can’t wait to see how the story progresses in the second book!

Old fashioned creepy
A good old fashioned ghost story. A creepy old house, odd servants, a pregnant widow left to her own thoughts in a big empty house.
And wooden people! Wooden people who multiply! And move on their own!
The story is set over 3 time periods. In the 1600s and in the 1800s. What happens in the earlier time is revealed through a diary found by one of the later characters.
Is it witchcraft? Is it insanity? Or ghosts? Read this book to find out. I really enjoyed it.

Really glad I stuck with these lovable misfits.
I wasn't the biggest fan of season 1 but I stycknit out and I'm really glad I did season 2 was much better it's obvious all around that everyone found their footing with and in the show. The characters worked together so much better the episodes got so much interesting and honestly the show was just down right fun to watch.
The reverse Flash was a great villian for the season and really helped make the season so much better.

acting (1 more)
awkwardness of being a teen
plot (1 more)
kind of boring
Not as good as the critics said
"Eighth Grade" was hailed as a funny, uncomfortable look at what it is "really like" to be in eighth grade. Instead, I found it to just be an uncomfortable look at what a particular person might go through, but it didn't feel related - at all - to what I experienced in eighth grade.
It is basically a series of scenes, with no real engaging storyline or character growth, and I was kind of bored during most of it.
