Dana (24 KP) rated Siege and Storm in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I need the next book now. The development of Alina and the other characters was beautifully written. I loved that the story was taken out of Ravka and we got to explore more of the country. I also loved how we learned more about the politics of this country. I found new characters to love and I am so happy about that. The more heavy scenes made my heart hurt as much as the light hearted scenes made me exuberant. An amazingly written novel. I would definitely recommend this to my friends!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story once I'd gotten closer to the end. To begin with, I found this a little clunky to read, things didn't seem to flow so well but once Jakob appeared in the story things started to become a little clearer and things got a little more mysterious.
It's a pretty easy story to predict but its gorgeously creepy and, in the end, very well presented.
I'm loving short stories at the moment, they often bring me a lot more joy than the full-length books I read.

Like a zombie devouring flesh, I devoured this horrifying book. As I read this well-written storyline full of blood, trailing intestines and graphic scenes, I found myself thoroughly immersed in the story; I could hear those terrifying moans and screams that came from the zombies, and I could smell the rotten, decaying scent in the air.
This heart-pounding edge of your seat read will keep you in its bloody grip from beginning to end, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.

Emma Whitecastle is trying to enjoy a romantic Thanksgiving weekend with her boyfriend on Catalina, but the trip is interrupted when she keeps seeing the ghost of a woman who disappeared in the 60's. Can Emma find out what really happened to the woman? It was great to see these characters again, and I enjoyed the humor in the book. Yet it reaches a more serious ending, which I found appropriate.

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.

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 :)
