Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: A Journey into the Evil Mind in Books
Oct 16, 2017
Ironically, there is little sincere empathy with the victims killed by these psychopaths, but just a titillation factor in this book, with the author essentially being a fanboy of these men and one woman. The book also inadvertently reveals how corrupt the American judicial system is, allowing white men to murder and defraud with impunity, while avoiding life sentences and even being granted parole after murdering three people in cold blood.
And with shockingly little psychology in this book, the author even "runs out" of his word count, so it ends abruptly. It is poorly written, as he repeats the phrase "elephants fly" etc. In every other paragraph, and I can now see why it has received low ratings on review sites. Not worth it.

For me, I've been to Seaworld in Florida numerous times when I was younger and have seen Tilikum in the flesh, and although this documentary pretty much ruins my childhood memories, I'm actually glad in a way that I'm no longer in the dark. It's a tough watch, but very informative with gripping video footage and interviews with ex Seaworld employees. It also really illustrates the whales temperaments and intellectual and emotional capacity, which just further pushes the point the documentary is trying to make. Yes as with most documentaries, its fairly one-sided. But that doesn't mean it's wrong.
Seaworld have called this documentary propaganda, but having visited Seaworld again just over a month ago (after having seen this), it's the nonsense they're showing at the parks that's the propaganda, not this. It can't have done any damage to the parks, as they were still full of people who were obviously ignorant to this documentary. I just wish they'd all watch this before being taken in by the propaganda pushed by the company.

Joelene Marie (28 KP) rated Waking Gods (Themis Files #2) in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I have to say I was surprised by a lot of the events in Waking Gods. I'm not sure exactly where I expected the story to go after the first book but this wasn't it lol. The sheer number of deaths, especially the deaths of certain main characters, was definitely a shock.
The ending, including the reason for and solution to the impending apocalyptic doom, felt somewhat underwhelming after so much build up. The subplot involving Eva could have used a little more development as well.
Overall, I truly enjoyed Waking Gods and The Themis Files as a whole and I still think it would make a great movie! Sylvain Neuvel is a talented author and I'm looking forward to reading whatever he comes out with in the future. *Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!*
