Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated A Case of Accidental Intersection in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Reporter Mitch Malone stumbles on an accident scene just after the crash. He's excited about the scoop for the paper, but something about it doesn't seem right to him, and he keeps investigating. What will he turn up? It took me a little while to warm up to Mitch, but once I did, I found myself lost in the book. I was sent the book in exchange for an honest review.

Nikita (202 KP) rated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) in Movies
Feb 12, 2018
cast chemistry (2 more)
fun story
quotable one liners
Better than expected
I was not expecting much when I heard they were making a new 'Jumanji' film. Fear filled my head of a remake, nothing could top the first.
However i found this film pleasantly surprising. Feel this film could stand alone and not be constantly compared to the first.
The films plot was predictable but still fun and joyful. The cast was what made this film great. Their chemistry and dialogue was very funny and held the film together.

I loved this book and am now going to get the second book in the series =D I'll be honest, I found this book quite boring when I first started reading it. It wasn't until I was about a quarter of the way through it that I really started getting into it. I'm so glad I stuck this book out. The characters, I love...the plot is really good. I'd really recommend this book =) In fact, I'd say that Carrie Jones is a much better writer than Stephenie Meyer.
This is probably one of the best books that I have ever read. I return to it, time and time again. The typical utopian society gone wrong theme requires you to really analyze your life and ponder on if the world could ever get to that point. Following Jonas through his life altering journey, with an ending that leaves one wondering is part of what makes this book a great book to be taught in schools. I first found out about this book through one of my high school English courses.

This book captivated me. It is extremely well written. The concept is very unique. I had to sit down and figure out how I felt about the concept, it was hard to wrap my mind around it.
Every time I read a novel by David Levithan I fall more and more in love with him as an author. I am truly blessed to have found him as an author. His novels have changed my perspective of life.
I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind. This was brilliantly written and truly inspiring.

First one better
I really enjoyed the first one to this series, and was looking forward to reading the second one. However, upon reading it, i got bored. It has taken me nearly 3 weeks to finish it as i kept putting it down. I'm glad i finished and found that the speed and action picked up near the end of the book, I'm definitely looking forward to reading he last one, to find out what happens, especially with the way the second book ended.
Happy reading :)

Okay, I'm going to be honest. This book is not a complete novel. If you're going to read this book, you need to know the story and plot of the first book ("Beautiful Disaster"). I did enjoy this novel but I had to reread the first novel while reading this book.
The characters are lovable and I found myself laughing and smiling while reading this book. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed "Beautiful Disaster." I do recommend that you reread the first book before you take on this novel.

Slow burning but kept me hooked
Found this on Netflix today (UK). And put it on purely cause it was the first thing that popped up and looked half decent.
I'm a fan of the cast, although a small lead cast to me they were strong. While the movie started off slow, even while something big happened, it kept me interested and wanting to know what happens. I really enjoyed Theo James in this.
It leaves you with questions but at the same time realising there is no answers. It was a good watch.

This book is an enjoyable, 'heart'- warming story about dealing with learning to live a 'normal' life after not knowing whether you were going to have a life at all. It also touches on the very important subject of organ donation being opt-out instead of opt-in, which is a very important cause. All in all, an easy read that covers all bases - family, love, friendships, health, grief. I found the back and forth between past, future, blog, news reports a bit confusong at times, but not enough to detract from the book.

Never read a memoir type book before, but now I think I will get more. This book was both sad and hilarious at the same time. There was a few lines in there and moments where I laughed out loud and had to re-read because I thought it was hilarious. Now, that being said, most of the book was quite sad (to the person reading it) I mean I don't think she found her life to be upsetting until she got old enough to know better, but man, that was an awesome read.
