Carley Taylor (9 KP) rated Hagakure: The Secret Wisdom of the Samurai in Books

Feb 1, 2018

Okay so this book has a great intro explaining how to read this book and giving context to the extremely involved readings.

The ending is tedious. The first half of the book is like reading abstract poetry, interesting but mildly concerning and confusing. The only way I could describe this book to friends was "written by a crazy old samurai" and that's pretty much the whole of it.

If you like learning about ancient samurai tradition, this is the book for you!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in Books

Mar 9, 2018

A creative progression story that starts with a simple act of kindness, giving a mouse a cookie. From there, however, things progress until they loop back around.

The book is simple but filled with great illustrations. And the journey is so creative. I missed this book until I read it with my niece and found it absolutely charming.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Hard Stuff in Books

Oct 27, 2019

This novel is outstanding! It is the second in a series but works just as well as a stand-alone since the author does a great job of giving the reader all the information needed without overwhelming the story. This exciting novel is everything an action thriller should be. It is fun, exciting, riveting and interesting. I can’t wait to read the next Joe the Bouncer book which I’m certain will be a page turner you can’t put down, just like this one.

Modern Retro TV

I loved this retelling of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire coughing scandal, the acting was superb, Sheen did a fantastic job as Tarrant. The story is well told without ultimately giving you an answer. It has an amazing retro feel and I thought I remember this so clearly but when you look back so much if forgotten. Well done ITV for also being able to have a bit of a laugh at themselves!
