Book Divas (227 KP) rated Never Forgotten (Never Forgotten, #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I loved this book. Beautifully written story about a young girl who will soon learn unexpected truths about herself. I found myself emotionally caught up in the story and its strong characters. This is one of those books you simply cannot pass by. Kelly Risser is a very talented writer and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.

This miniseries was not a great addition to the legend of Han Solo. I found it a little boring, and half of the first issue was a re-hash of the beginning of Solo. I would have thought Han's adventures in the Imperial Navy would have been at least a little more entertaining. This is one you can definitely skip.

Boring, protagonist is irritating
I'm not going to lie but I struggled to get into this book mostly because it's not the usual genre I prefer. I found the story sinfully boring mostly because all the main character does is run around for the entire book. He also seems super cocky throughout, and for those who hate James Bond - will equally find this annoying. That being said, it's not what I generally read so you might actually enjoy it.

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!
The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)
And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!
Definitely give this one a read!!

the game that never lets you down
I couldn't wait for this to be released, as i have played them all, and fall out 4 never let me down once, from the changing your features until the end, the story captivated and drew me in. and just because i clocked the game, it didn't stop there, i found my self making new towns and doing a lot of side quests, definitely value for money as always.

The first book club read of the year, did I enjoy it yes and no, it started very well but dragged on too long, chapter 30 was where I would gave ended it.
It did give you a look at the 10 year old mind and how they see the world, which I found interesting and what a psychiatrist would make of the end I would love to know.
All together an interesting if not drawn out read.

I love Tim's books, they always end up surprising you in the last 10% or so.
However, I didn't like this as much as the first. It might have been because it ran along the same lines as the first with the surprise or because I found myself struggling for the first 30-40% with the story line. I didn't find it as engaging as previous books I've read by the author. It was still a great story though.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 in Video Games

An incredible achievement in gaming
I must admit that Red Dead Redemption is one of my top games ever, the long awaited sequel was always going to have a lot to live up to. But RDR2 truly builds on the first game in every way.
The game world feels alive. I found myself taking forever to get through the massive story, just because I kept getting distracted by other things going on - so much so that I only finished the story in March (I bought it the previous October on day one).
It took a while to adjust to the controls - I found myself accidentally shooting people I didn't mean to, or punching my horse, which would mor often than not result in my death - but once I had the hang of it, I was hooked.
The story is quite incredible, all of the characters are well fleshed out, to the point that you care about most of them. RDR2 is a prequel story, so you know that the events unfolding are heading towards the first game, but getting there is a thrilling an emotional journey.
The game looks amazing as well, I found myself enjoying the copious amount of horse riding, just to admire the many views and vistas throughout.
The soundtrack is also great - used sparingly until it's needed, resulting in some breathtaking moments.
I can't recommend RDR2 enough, as long as you have the patience to go with it - it's slow burning at times, and it encourages you to fully sit back and take your time exploring this incredibly well crafted world, but the pay off is nothing short of spectacular.

4.5 stars
Cade may have been sweet in Losing It but I totally fell for him in this one. To see him try and be happy for Bliss when he loves her; you feel sorry for him and then Max enters his life and, well I dont want to spoil it but they are perfect for each other. Max is completely different to every other New Adult female character Ive read about (and Ive read a fair few) shes tattooed, pierced, has dyed red hair and is in a band. She is completely alternative and a tough nut but you find yourself relating to her in one way or another and I found myself quickly liking her.
Theyre story is very up and down and I found myself willing them on from early on. Sure I guess when stood together they look a little odd but who cares about what others think when you love someone? (I am such a romantic!) They are perfect for each other.
Cora has this way of writing that is both fun and emotional and it is so easy to fall under the spell she weaves. I am so going to read everything else she writes. I am most definitely a fan!
If youre looking for a fun, sexy read then I recommend this book. You dont necessarily have to read Losing It first but it would help you get the gist of where Cades head is at the beginning.
It is amazing!

If you look at my recent reads you would know that this is definitely not my normal style. I picked this book up for my book club and I'm glad that I challenged myself to read it. This was a fascinating read.You can tell that the author did a lot of research into the Mormon faith. You can also tell that the author did have creative license when creating this book.
I felt that this book was slow. It took me around 6 days to read this book which is a little long for me. I definitely struggled through this novel but I believe it is because it is not my typical style. All in all, I found the book interesting and I'm glad that I picked it up.
