Fruit Bat (42 KP) rated Necropolis: London and its Dead in Books
Mar 1, 2018
I am about a quarter way through this amazing book and so far have found that it gives the reader an informative insight into what lies beneath our feet as we walk the streets of London or in some cases as we travel the train lines.
Having now finished Catharine Arnold's book I would say the book is well written and contains an informative history of how London buried their dead but not only this it also shows how death has been dealt with throughout the ages, anyone with a interest in social history , architecture or the history of cemeteries will definitely find this book appealing.

You really get a sense of the turmoil that affects many young people who come from households with strict religious beliefs, torn between what their family want and what they want.

Great character development amid daily drama
Zadie Smith does a great job of encapsulating north London life by explaining the lives of four residents. While the drama itself is nondescript and a bit mundane, the writing is superb, and she does a great job of bringing the characters together.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Never an Amish Bride in Books
Feb 24, 2021
Ever heard the saying once you read one you have read them all? Well, that is what my husband told me when he saw that I was reading an Amish book. He said, “How many differences can you see in the Amish, isn’t the point that the Amish are plain, as in nothing ever happens with them?”. I dropped my book. Case in point, Never an Amish Bride by Ophelia London.
This book is the first in a series and I loved the introduction to all the characters. This Never an Amish Bride is different and intriguing. I loved Ophelia London’ s character variations, their emotions were realistic and not over-dramatized, and the conflicts were believable. Both Lucas and Esther were engaging characters that I loved reading about. Ophelia London engaged my emotions in this book and appealed to my heart.
The main themes of this book are Faith, Trust, and Forgiveness. Ophelia London did a great job of showing those themes through the eyes of her characters. I particularly liked how Lucas handled the trials he went through; I wish I could handle situations as well as him.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative characters, the interesting storyline, and for making me look forward to the next book in the series.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Great cast, Christian Bale is very good. (1 more)
Great story with a brilliant twist
A great trick
A film about competing Illusionists in Victorian London who will do anything to outwit each other. A film of 3 acts and the big reveal is truly amazing. Another classic by Christopher Nolan. Bravo!

A very good sequel to the first film. Just as bloody and violent as the first, maybe more so! There is plenty of action and it never really lets up. The way it is filmed especially the first attack in the house is raw and gritty and makes you feel you are there fighting for survival to! However the plot is a bit similar to most zombie films and obvious at times. The geography of London has changed a fair bit to taking minutes to get from east to central London if only! lol Overall a great thrill ride with plenty of action and memorable scenes, but you know what to expect by now.
