ArecRain (8 KP) rated Twin of Ice in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I honestly found this book uninteresting and frustrating. It was boring at best and the only reason I continued was to finish the novel to get to Twin of Fire. Not only that but the characters were frustrating to the point that I almost threw the book. Jude Deveraux seemed to have make her characters so dense and ignorant that they didn't understand something that was continually and blatantly said to them. I couldn't imagine people that dense. Had I known this book was going to be the way it was, I would have never started it.
ArecRain (8 KP) rated Gabriel's Woman (The Lover, #2) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I seldom ever leave a novel unfinished once I have begun reading it. There are exceptions, however, and this so called "erotic" novel was one of them.
The only comments that I can give after reading the few chapters are even fewer. Her style is like that of Hemingway's, choppy and a stream of consciousness so that I found myself constantly rereading the same sentences and paragraphs just to understand what the author was trying to say. To me, the writing seemed far to staccato to even enjoy. I don't think I will be reading any more of Ms. Schone's erotic novels.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Drive Angry (2011) in Movies
Feb 10, 2018 (Updated Feb 10, 2018)
This film does exactly as it sets out to do. It's a pure over the top adrenalin rush almost from start to finish. Babes, bullets, blood, bad-ass characters and a Dodge charger. Think Crank meets Shoot 'em up with an almost comic book setting. I really enjoyed and found it an action packed film, that's tongue firmly in cheek. Add a cool car and the sexy Amber Heard and you get good popcorn entertainment, would have liked to have seen it in 3D! If you like wild wacky films that are just fun to watch check this out!

Never ending challenging fun
I've tried other hidden object games before, but after just a couple times of logging in, I found I was easily bored, or confused by the flow of the game. With Seeker's Notes, I find myself challenged and motivated to play. The levels get progressively harder, but not so drastically that you give up or have to spend a fortune to simply play. The graphics are phenomenal and the game runs with very few glitches. Plus, the support staff are quick to answer questions and help if you do run into problems.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Rolling Thunder (John Ceepak Mystery, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Ceepak and Danny are back on the beat in the resort town of Sea Haven, New Jersey! This go around, a woman dies on the first run of the town's new wooden roller coaster. It seems like nothing suspicious until a definitely murdered woman is found. Is there a connection? I love these characters, so it's always great to spend time with them. The story was entertaining with some nice twists and a nail bitter of an ending.

Dankwa Brooks (5 KP) rated Bonnie and Clyde (1967) in Movies
Mar 9, 2018
I watched this film In honor of ROGER EBERT (who died a few days ago) that I got out of his 'The Great Movies' [1] book. I of course heard of the film, but had no real interest in watching it until I read Roger's essay in his book. Below is what I found on IMDb.
"Roger Ebert had only been a film critic for six months when he saw this film and hailed it as the first masterpiece he had seen on the job."
I'm not ready to call it a masterpiece, but it sure is excellent. A GREAT gangster pic.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Clammed Up (A Maine Clambake Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Julia has returned to her Maine town to try to save her family's clambake business. However, when the best man at the wedding they are involved in dies, it might shut the business down for good.
I found the first quarter a bit slow, but once the story really got going, it took off and didn't stop until it had reached the end. Along the way, I cam to truly care for these characters. The result was well worth reading.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated Pipsqueak in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Garth Carson finds a squirrel puppet from a favorite childhood show, he thinks he's found a nostalgic goldmine. Instead, he soon finds a body and a conspiracy that seems too hard to believe. In fact, that was one problem I had with the book, I just couldn't believe it. The characters were also too thin. And the "comic" part of the comic caper? Not really that funny. I did find the climax over the top yet fun, however.
