Sarah (82 KP) rated Prime Suspect: Tennison in TV

Great insight.
A great insight into the early days of Jane Tennison. As I watched the episodes of Prime Suspect when I was younger (and watching again now) I looked forward to watching this and I was not disappointed. An awesome series showing Jane's struggles to be identified as a great detective in a predominately male role.
Enjoyed it so much I have started watching Prime Suspect from the very beginning again.

Take any Marvel hero and put him into a romance book and what do you get? A perfect escapist evening with a dark, brooding hero and a woman who has a mind and is not afraid to use it. I loved the twist this book has and it is the first of them that I have read, even though it is the second book in the series. Thoroughly enjoyable and definitely recommended.

Gothic, supernatural series
only only four episodes in but keeping me hooked. It’s slightly gothic with the setting, a big house set on the cliff end with lots of rooms and history to it. If you are a fan of the supernatural, fantasy, slight horror ( not too much) then this probably up your street. The story line is slowly unfolding so you a,y to start at the beginning to understand the whole plot.

Hmm...I liked the middle of this more than the beginning or the end. They turned into a really nice happy couple and enjoyed reading their budding romance.
I got Sela's need for revenge but i do think she was going about it in the wrong way. Maybe find something illegal, catch him doing something dodgy, not just go in for the kill, literally.
I'm undecided on whether i want to continue the series.

Book Three in the Heroes of Olympus series did not disappoint! I have to admit that out of all Rick Riordan's series this has been my least favorite, but I really enjoyed this installment. It is literally a cliffhanger...if that cliff is hanging over Tartarus & is under a parking lot in Rome that is!
All the characters have matured nicely and I have to say that was a pleasant surprise. Percy & Annabeth's relationship has followed the same line. But despite all the characters in the book, I have to say my favorite is Leo Valdez; the brainiac of the demigods. He was very funny in this book & easy to like. His personality was developed a lot more throughout this story so the reader gets to know him on another level.
As for the plot, a war breaks out between the Greek & Roman camps thanks to some nasty spirits taking over Leo. Despite this, the 7 demigods & Coach Hedge, the satyr, must embark on a mission to unite the 2 camps & prevent Gaea & her giants from destroying the world. Needless to say, it isn't easy & they run amok of quite a few gods & monsters on the way.
I am really looking forward to seeing how Riordan wraps up this series!! I have a sinking feeling that it may be the end of Percy Jackson though...

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
In the (possibly not so distant) future, there's a Covenant between the human world and the natural one: Humans wreaked havoc on the Earth, and now they must make amends. They do this through obtaining Hearts, animal spirits that they must earn through a series of trials, proving they are of strong heart and mind and are willing to protect the lands and all its inhabitants. Adain is ready to begin his journey into adulthood, and it starts with the Heart Chase, where he must capture a Heart to call his own. Little does he know that this year's trials won't go according to plan...
This story pulled me in from the very start. Just the idea behind it alone, that humans have made a pact with the natural world to bring order back from the chaos of our time, is a fantastic concept, one that I had long discussions about with friends upon starting this series. And the way it's written makes it easily understandable for anyone, as children could read it right alongside their parents. I've already recommended this book to several people, and I look forward to the rest of the series, as well as more from this author.
5 stars =)

Returns a sense of wonder to the franchise. (5 more)
Brilliantly adresses plotholes and minor issues from previous installments.
Takes the next logical step in the series.
High quality dinosaur action.
New dinosaurs we haven't seen before.
Chris Pratt
This, at least in my opinion, is the second best film in the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series. Just like the original, this installment returns that sense of wonder to the series by returning to the park setting. The dinosaurs are an attraction again rather than just dinosaurs living in the wild. People come from all over to see them and this time they've created a new species, the Indominus Rex. Sure it's corny, but the film acknowledges that and also plays on the fact that hybrid dinosaurs were the next logical step. I like the fact too that now that dinosaurs are no longer a new novelty in this universe that people have figured out it makes sense to train some of these animals from birth, hence the relationship between Owen and his Raptors. I like that if you're paying attention, you'll notice the film adresses plot holes from the previous films, especially the first one. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. In my opinion this is the sequel we deserved from the very beginning.
