Sammeh Lowry (15 KP) rated The Next Together (The Next Together, #1) in Books
Jul 13, 2019
On the outside I wouldn't have thought I would like this book. I'll sum up myself for you, History....(As Giles once said about Buffy. )"She lives very much in the now and well history is very much about the then" I do not have a love for history. I also do not have a love for science I just don't....This book though, I have nothing but love for! I absolutely adored Kate I find her wonderful and her and Matthews love is unbeatable. I loved the format and how some parts of the book are newspaper clippings and notes, I found this fun and enjoyable. Unfortunately I did find some parts confusing but that's because I am easily confused! Nothing reading some reviews won't clear up for me though! I can't wait to read the next one!

If you’re a nerd, this is for you! Kindred Spirits is a story about Star Wars fans, and even though Star Wars isn’t my thing, I found the story really cute and I was pulled in right from the start.
This book is worth getting just for the cover! It’s all glittery and gorgeous and you really have to see it in real life to really be able to appreciate it! Mine’s the hardback though – I’m not too sure on whether the paperback is actually glittery.
It is only a tiny book though – I did expect something a bit bigger for the price of it, but I suppose that it does only have two short stories in it.

I received an ebook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was a romance anthology consisting of six novellas by various authors with a christmas theme.
I don't normally read short stories but was tempted by the festive setting which i do love.All of the stories were well written and engaged me keeping my interest throughout.They showed a snapshot of a time gone by and i found them very endearing.
If your looking for a light, clean, nostalgic read this anthology is for you. The six stories are all very different so there should be a tale to suit everyone, give it a try you wont be dissapointed.

I admit to being a rather big fan of Mel Sherratt's books having read several previously so was hoping this was going to be as good ... I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.
Ten Days has got it all ... great characters, intriguing storyline, fast paced, twists, turns and a very satisfying ending.
Ten Days is one of those books that is so compelling that you can't stop reading and I found myself taking every opportunity to read just one more chapter which quickly became several!
I would certainly recommend this and any of Mel's previous books; she delivers every time.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

Large user base (1 more)
Relatively good at learning what you like to recommend books
With smaller books forces reviews to change their reviews to be less critical (1 more)
Found a few of my reviews have been removed with no notice
Not the first place I will do for book reviews
Overall it is a nice review platform, I would not stake my opinions on a book from what it says, but use it as one resource.
David McK (3425 KP) rated The Legend of Zorro (2005) in Movies
Feb 6, 2021
Antonio Banderas' second outing as the masked Mexican vigilante Zorro (well, third if you count Puss in Boots from 'Shrek 2!'), in a sequel that lacks the strong theme of revenge that runs through the earlier outing.
I also have to say, I found myself flinching when the film introduced Zorro's kid as a main character - never a good sign - although, thankfully, that subplot never overtakes the main strand of the story.

2007 remake of a 1950s original (which I haven't seen), and - I'm sorry to say - , this just didn't do it for me.
Despite starring two stellar actors in Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, I found this to be slow, plodding and just, well, boring; never really taking off or holding my attention at all.
You want to see a good film/Western (in all but name) by James Mangold? Stick with the infinitely-superior 'Logan'.
