An interesting view of Islamophobia and muslims living in the UK.
The story of a Muslim family living in London, persecuted by the ghost of their jihadi father. Narrated by five protagonists, who express five different views on today's attitudes of being Muslim in a western country: (non) respect towards religions, the traditional vs modern, what it means to be a Muslim in today's world, and in particular, it's the story of stigmatisation. An interesting, topical story that shows our diverse world, and how we MUST look at what is causing radicalisation.
One of my books of the year.

Perry Larkin (8 KP) rated American Gods - Season 1 in TV
Dec 12, 2017
I'm still not sure what I watched. Honestly, I only watched it for Kristen Chenoweth and was sad I had to wait until the finale to find her, but I suppose that alone was worth it. I am very pleasantly surprised by Gillian Anderson's turn as Media, even though it took awhile to understand her character, as it becomes evolved it is a fun take on modern media. I feel like I might have to watch the whole show a few more times to fully grasp what happened, and I do look forward to season 2 to see where things go.

Great story and plot (1 more)
Unique combination of emotion and science
Almost too close for comfort
The first book in one of my favourite trilogy's. I love this series and its ability to make short jumps in scientific advancement from where we are currently to the potential of what we might become. The scientific basis of this series brings up very modern issues regarding ethics regarding both human and non-human life. A series that makes you reflect on decisions you make as an individual and as a human existing on earth. Thought provoking, never shying away from 'taboo' subjects

Awesome enemies
Violent executions
An blend of old fashioned fun and the modern FPS
This is definitely one of the best shooters that I’ve played in a long time. The pace is swift and the action is intense, the classic gore and horror elements are present but not too in your face like Doom 3 and the whole thing just drips with badassery. Don’t go in deserving a masterclass in storytelling or you will be disappointed, but if all you want is responsive, fun FPS gameplay and a quick fix of adrenaline then this was made for you.

Absolutely innovative and intriguing listening
Listened to on Audible.co.uk.
Listening to a murder mystery about a murder mystery was as intriguing as listening to a book about a book. A total reinvention of classic Agatha Christie type tale revamped for the modern reader. Is it guessable? One of the mysteries is, but the other solved by fictional PI Atticus Pund was definitely more of a mind bender. It leaves you analysing clues in the same way the narrator tries to do. As an Agatha Christie fan, I was hooked.
Well read and written by the literary genius that is Anthony Horowitz.

A wonderful array of short stories set in India
An intriguing network of short stories set in modern India with a backdrop of traditional culture. The stories have a vague link with one another, usually focusing on one particular character's narrative. And the nature of each story varies from magical realism to politics. While there were some stories I liked more than others, the animal cruelty of one specific tale was a little gratuitous to my liking. And while I know this happens in India it didn't seem to go anywhere. Other than that a well written cyclical novel.

Brings classic games to a modern system. (1 more)
Brought final mix to tbe United States.

358/2 is just cutscenes and the journal.
Recoded is just cutscenes and the journal
Love these games!
This is one my favorite game series of all times. It gets an 8 mostly due to the fact that 358/2 is unplayable. Other than that the games were updated to include content previously unavalible in North America. This includes the Data Battles in 2 and extra secret bosses in 1. All in all its a great collection to own.
Lori Forrest (0 KP) rated Netflix in Apps
Apr 21, 2018
Netflix is, of course, a dominant force in entertainment. The original series and movies are awesome. It's great to be able to binge my favorite shows like Friends, and they are uploading shows as soon as they end on air quicker and quicker. The only real downfall is that they don't have agreements with several networks still, so a lot of shows that I love aren't available. I would love to completely cancel cable and every other subscription I have, but I can't until things like Modern Family and Food Network's best can be seen on Netflix.
Dean (6926 KP) rated Rambo (Rambo IV) (2008) in Movies
Apr 7, 2018
This is a very good enjoyable , but simple film, even for a action film the plot couldn't be more straight forward. Yes this is far more violent, bloody and gory than the previous three. Done very realistically as well similar to the scenes on the beach in saving private ryan. A brutal bloody film and entertaining as a modern day action film. Despite his years Stallone's character is believable in this and he doesn't over do any stunts, action unlike some of the other Rambo films. Well worth seeing if you have seen the others or not.
