Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
To say this seemed like a love it or hate it book, I'm one who doesn't lean either way. I liked it but I didn't love it.
The first bit bored me, the middle bit was interesting and the end was a bit of a disappointment but considering the second part takes up most of the book, I'm giving it three stars.
I didn't like Clary either, to me she came across as really annoying and whiney--maybe it was her age--while I liked Jace from the start. Isabelle took a bit of warming up to and Alec never really said much but his actions spoke well enough for him.
It took me a long time to read this which is unusual for me with books, I normally devour them in a day or two and this took me a good weeks worth of reading or so.

I completed this expansion around five months ago, and I am still reeling over it.
I love this story so much. It really has a special place in my heart that I'm never giving up to anything else.
I even started learning Dragonsong on piano before I got to this expansion because it sounded so pretty, and now I just want to cry every time I hear it.
There are characters from this expansion that are still my favourites, and they probably always will be.
The new jobs/classes introduced in this expansion are so fun to play as well. I literally switched over to machinist as soon as I found out that I could play it.
Overall, this expansion is amazing. Please play it. Please.

I have only read one Koontz book before and that was a very early one, so didn't know what I was going to get. The blurb on the cover grabbed me which is why I had to try it and I am glad I did... I found the story well written and composed and the short paragraph blocks made it an easy read, if an unusual style... It reminded me of Richard Laymons style of writing which I really enjoy...
The plot although far fetched is enjoyable and makes you think what you would do if you were put in the same position. It is suspenseful, action packed and violent in places but you do find yourself drawn in to the situation and feel for the characters involved.
For a quick and easy read it is worth giving a go.

I think I can safely say that this book has been a hit with my children, the four year old has asked to be read it three times in a row, the six year old is now reading it for a fourth time, and both have demanded to know what Sparky does next.
Sparky is a cute purple dinosaur, learning some valuable lessons on not giving up when something is difficult, but also that sometimes the best thing to do to learn a new or difficult skill is to just have some fun. It's a lovely message for little ones, especially early in their schooling.
I've especially appreciated being able to use it as a conversation starter with the 6 year old who has some speech issues, and finds it a struggle not being quite like the other children in the class.
I would highly recommend this book.

Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Black and Blue (2019) in Movies
Aug 4, 2020
Black and Blue focuses on a rookie police officer returning to New Orleans after leaving in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. She is abruptly faced with the realization that corruption not only exists within her hometown police department, but it may be far more extensive than could be imagined. She also has to cope with the knowledge that a HUGE wedge has been driven between the PD and the local community and the fracture that exists may be too large to mend.
Naomi Watts is wonderful and convincing in the lead role with several supporting cast members rounding things out perfectly. Tyrese Gibson shows a depth generally not seen in most cases as a sort of liaison simply trying to keep peace but quickly finding himself embroiled in the middle of it all.
At times predictable, at times redeeming. Worth giving a go if you have the time.
