Book Divas (227 KP) rated The Wartime Sisters in Books

Truly Worth Reading
Though not a typical read for me, I am grateful that the publisher sent me an advanced readers copy because it was such a beautiful story. This story is told from varying views and I found myself easily relating to the younger sister Millie in particular to her choice of a husband. Through the author's writing I, was able to experience the feelings that Ruth and Millie had in such a vivid way, that I often felt as I myself was a part of this well-written story.
This was truly well worth reading and I hope that others take a chance on this story.

I am attempting to sum this up and I can't. I liked it I really really liked it! I found it took me ages to finish because it was slow in some place but once I'd got onto the last quarter I couldn't put it down and it seemed to have such a slow build up and then suddenly it was like ahhh! Everything at once! I really did like it though,I loved how each chapter was from someone else's perspective, I think that gave the story lots of different angles and I loved the "book one" "book two" and the illustrations on these pages.

A bit too long winded for me (1 more)
No characters to lock on to and relate to
To infinity and beyond
A journey through time and space that could potentially blow your mind. Explores life as we know it and the potential for life elsewhere.
I dont think I'm clever enough to enjoy this book...it felt like it should be amazing but I struggled to finish it.
My mind just couldn't comprehend the huge ideas being explored. I loved the first half but as we journeyed further into the universe away from things my mind could relate to I found my attention wandered.

I really thought I'd like this as it's about three things I like to read about; m/m romance, paranormal and mystery/intrigue, but unfortunately I found the story really slow going and very information based with very little relationship progression. That might have been because Roan and Paris were a couple from the start and because I didn't get to see it form and flourish I felt a little cheated.
I lost interest in it quite early on but continued to read hoping it would get better but unfortunately for me, it didn't so I'm finally giving it up. Not to my liking.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Finding Zach in Books
Sep 6, 2019
With a storyline like this I expected to be more emotionally involved in Zach and David's story, but I found it quite hard in that respect.
I felt sorry for Zach for his ordeal and for David over the guilt he felt. I also felt sorry for the possible romance they missed out on with Zach's disappearance.
That being said I didn't really connect with them or the story.
I did like the interaction between the two guys; some of the things they said to each other in their more tender moments were really sweet.
I'd definitely consider reading more books by the author.

Could have and should have been so much more.
Ever wonder what would happen if they got a bunch of the funniest women of SNL fame together to make a film what would happen? Well, apparently, the answer is not much. This movie lags from the get-go with opening jokes that miss their intended marks and continue throughout the film. All the female characters seem to lose any real individuality and just all mesh together in a blob of female stereotypes. Wanted to laugh so hard at all these funny women I've loved for years but found only a couple chuckles and a lot of boredom.
David McK (3369 KP) rated Terminator Genisys (2015) in Movies
Aug 26, 2019
Entry number 5 in The Terminator series: a series that is largely viewed as having gone drastically downhill after the first two superlative instalments, and that is undoubtedly Arnold Schwarzenegger most famous role.
The biggest problem with this one, simply, is that it gave away too much in the trailers prior to it's release: yes, Arnie returns (as a 'good' Terminator who states that he is 'old, not obsolete'), Sarah Connor is recast, time travel again is a key concept, and other characters are found to have changed sides.
Oh, and an (ex)The Doctor (Who) has a starring role - well, I suppose he should be used to timey-wimey shenanigans!
