The plot
The cast
The plot is interesting and modern, the action scenes are amazing and the cast is actually perfect. Adding the new agency was a really good way to add a fun twist and bring in new characters. I am so glad I saw it in cinemas and would happily see it again.
What made it lose points for me, was that I genuinely feel that certain parts that ended up cut, should have stayed in the film. The film was apparently originally 3 and a half hours long, so while I understand why it was cut down, I really hope a directors cut is released.
I also feel the trailers were misleading, making out Channing Tatum to have a much bigger part than he actually did.

I received a free copy of this book via Clean Teen Publishing Elite Reviewers which I am a member of. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.
If you are looking to read a book that will creep you out then look no further because this one will do just that. There's even a scene in the story that had me quickly getting out of the bathtub and I LOVED it!!!
This is horror and supernatural at its extreme best. The author's unique and creative story telling ensnares you from the very beginning and the heart pounding scares will keep you glued to the book until the outstanding end. I hope the movie version does this book justice. I can't wait to read more books written by this extremely talented writer.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) in Books

Ugh... I HATE reading a series of books before the entire thing is released!! I just finished Cress and can I just say that it is going to be pure torture to wait for the next book?! At this point in thru series Cress is easily the best book of all. So many questions are answered and so many of the puzzle pieces have fallen into place. The end is a true cliffhanger...I can't wait to see how the whole thing ends. I hope that whatever the ending may be, the last book is just as good as this one. Meyer's writing & storytelling abilities have improved in each subsequent installment of the Lunar Chronicles. I can't wait to see how she wraps up the stories of all the characters!
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Closed Casket: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery in Books

A good adaptation of a classic but leave it be
I really quite enjoyed this version of Agatha Christie's classic Belgian detective despite being a huge fan of the original. Having read most of the collection I was a bit irked at having it rehashed under someone else's guise. Sophie Hannah has done a good job of bringing the old elements from the original but it should be said to leave it be. Hannah quite easily could have created a new character without taking literary licence from Christie.
It seems that in order for her book to be noticed in an already over saturated area, Hannah has reincarnated the character. She needs more confidence in her writing - so I hope that she chooses to be a bit more original next time.

Anninmi (2 KP) rated High Achiever-The Shocking True Story Of One Addict’s Double Life in Books
Apr 15, 2018 (Updated Apr 15, 2018)
Contains spoilers, click to show
This book, a true life story, is written in a way that reads like fiction and engages from the beginning. It is short and easy to read but full of valuable lessons to the reader of what jail is like and what it feels like to both have messed up and hurt those you love as well as successfully navigated recovery. There is some “mature content” (drug use, language, lesbianism) but it isn’t gratuitous. Ms. Jenkins book is as funny, touching, and insightful as her blog, “Juggling The Jenkins”.
I have read a lot of books in my time- a LOT- and have never read anything quite like this one. The premise of it is a fear of many: to be stranded on an island. That fear goes even deeper for the characters in this book because with no hope for rescue, they continued to live their lives as best as they could. When, much to their surprise, they are saved from their island home they weave a web of lies that could break all of their loved ones. The characters are relatable in their flaws and with each secret revealed you feel closer to them. You'll get sucked into this book and when it finally spits you out you'll feel like you'd been right there with them.

Macra
Watched last night it's not bad not one of the best doctor who's from the sixties due to the budget but we will get to that but first the story. For years this and many other who's had been missing from the BBC archive due to alot of episodes being junked destroyed especially the macra terror where it's been totally destroyed till now. Now a new audience can watch it for the first as an animated feature and it looks good the acting from Patrick troughton is getting into his stride finally after five adventures with support from his companions. Now to the macra they look so much more now scary than they did originally due to budget hope some day they will animate more lost who's we can dream

At first, I wasn't going to watch this series, I had seen it advertised countless times, and it didn't really interest me, but so many people, including one of my good friends, kept telling me to watch it, so, in the end I did, and I am glad I did, it had me gripped, pretty much from the first episode.
The series consists of 10 episodes, telling the tale of how a young man meets a woman, and becomes obsessed with her, and at what lengths he will go to, to be with her, and to keep her. I just finished the last episode last night, and I must say, I was shocked by the ending, personally didn't see it coming.
Would definitely recommend and I hope they make another series.

This book is a great read. I enjoyed it. Though I would have loved to read book 1 to understand it better as how it started and they left off in book 1 and pick it up in book 2. Though book 2 does go though bit of how Debbie ends up in the Bailer house. This is about Debbie in this book. I want to keep reading after this book. It is that good. I enjoy this author book and would love to read the others. I hope things are better and I would like to pick up the book soon to read on and find out. If you enjoy this author then you may like others amish related authors. You may also like other amish books as well.

Lack of diverse weapons
Compelling story beautiful, open-world
Much like Far Cry 4 (which I loved) this is an open-world, vaguely linear action adventure game. Lots of terrain to explore, lots of odd encounters with strange NPCs.
The difference, and the real hook for me, is the storyline. Trying to avoid spoilers, go watch the trailer and get sucked in. Based in the US you are a US Marshal fighting a religious cult. Trying to reclaim Hope County from this bizarre and extreme set of believers.
The multiplayer is good and well thought out and different but I will admit that I have spent very little time in the Multiplayer world of Far Cry 5.
