Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2177 KP) rated High Water Hellion (Luanne Fogarty Mysteries, #5) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Luanne agrees to help her police boss Tony find something his aunt was rumored to throw into a lake. But then they find evidence that his aunt was murdered. With a hurricane coming, will they catch the killer? While there was one obvious plot point, the rest of the book was filled with the usual good storytelling, strong characters, and atmospheric writing.

Good cast (1 more)
Good sets & SFX
Short snappy thriller
After seeing the trailer I was looking forward to this creature feature. Especially as it's produced by Sam Raimi. It really is a bitesize treat. Under 90 minutes long but it's very intense as a Father and Daughter are trapped in their home during a big hurricane, surrounded by hungry Aligators. The acting is good, the sets impressive and the 'gators look realistic. Much better than many other bigger budget films on a similar theme.

This was a very goodcoming of age novel that pitted two teenagers not only againsttheir own anger, guilt and depression but also a hurricane. These two strangers reluctantly at first team up to help each other and in the process find themselves again.
Connelly did a good job of setting the scene and showing us what was inside the characters minds. As a reader you got to see them evolve and grow. It created fairly complex characters. It was a quick and enjoyable read.

Crawl is absolutely everything you could want from a Summer movie – the experience of watching it is like being on a theme park ride, it’s UNDER 90 minutes (praise be!) and refreshingly, it is not a sequel, a reboot or franchise fare. It’s actually a pretty taut (almost) two-hander that focuses on a father-daughter duo facing off against a giant alligator duo (relationship unknown) in the flooded basement of a Florida home during a hurricane.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Yanks Are Starving: A Novel of the Bonus Army in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[The Yanks Are Starving] by [Glen Craney] was a very well written book that I really did not want to put down. Which is why I often found my eReader on the floor the next morning where it dropped. As a student of history I am glad to see one of the most glossed over and darkest times in American history addressed. The Bonus Army was a real thing. Our government asked young men to defend democracy overseas but when they returned they were shunned and treated as criminals.
Although some of Craney's characters were fictional(as he states in his notes) they were based on real life people. The hurricane that is referred to at the end of the book where WWI vets were left to fend for themselves is also a true event often called "Hemingway's Hurricane" because of the scathing report he wrote after being one of the first to see it's aftermath.
I think this is a must read book for anyone who wants to learn the truth about American history. Even though it is a fiction story it is purely based on fact and the author really did his research well.
