Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated Playing with Fire (2019) in Movies
Apr 27, 2022
Surprisingly entertaining
Originally I decided to avoid this because I'm becoming annoyed with bog standard movies starring John Cena.... But as Netflix is becoming awkwardly limited in range...
This brilliant little gem was wonderfully entertaining, with its nice little story about family and friends as well as taking care of business haha.
Following a struggling crew of Smoke Jumpers (not to be confused with fire fighters lol) with by the book, no fun and games leader Duke (John cena) edging for a promotion to head firefighter who after rescuing 3 children from a house fire ends up babysitting the trio whilst waiting for their "out of town" parents to collect them creating nothing but chaos for the crew as they struggle to understand what is happening and how they will survive.
The casting was odd yet on point, the story and plot were wonderfully written and John cena can be entertaining.
A genuinely fun family film that will have you laughing unexpectedly.

Phil Leader (619 KP) rated The Science of Discworld in Books
Nov 25, 2019
If there was an award for most misleadingly titled book, this would on the shortlist. Not only is it most definitely not about the science of Discworld, it is also not some sort of shameless cash-in on a well-loved author.
What this book is, then, is a 'popular science' book, dressed up with some (typically amusing) interludes featuring the wizards of Unseen University as they try to understand how our world can work without magic and stories. Pratchett was always keen to educate, and here he tries to condense science into a single volume, using co-authors and science writers Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen to do the hard lifting of explaining the basics and discoveries of physics, chemistry and biology.
The authors try to explain how everything really works, although they do acknowledge there is bound to be simplification (or 'lies to children') as some of the concepts are hugely complex. But it never gets boring or too difficult to read.
A superb book for anyone who just wants to understand a little bit more about science. And I still use the space elevator analogy to this day. A gem of a book, shame about the title.

Lindsay (1771 KP) rated My Way West: Real Kids Traveling the Oregon and California Trails in Books
Jul 9, 2022
My Way West tells the story of real kids that traveled the trails across the west. The children told the stories and through their quotes and paragraphs about how folks decided to move west—the journey across the Oregon trails, California Trails, and Momon trails.
The kids told these journeys on the trails through the images and how life was on the trails. Children will be able to learn about the life and history of the US and the Oregon trails. This book shows tragedy and how everyone came together and helped each other along the way. Children can learn about this and American history by reading this book, not of it but a good glimpse of it.
I enjoy learning about the western expansion and the Oregon trails. I am one of those kinds of readers. I was learning about history through books and how life may have been back then—the dangers of it. When reading this book, I read the quotes first and then the information on the page. Tough, you can read it by doing the significant info about the journey or the topic that was talked about and then the quotes after. It doe not really make a difference in what way you read it. I enjoy that. There is no right way to read this book.
I like the focus was on the actual kids that traveled the Organ and California Trails. The author does a beautiful job of that. This book is suitable for middle-grade readers who want to learn about American history. This book would be an excellent book to have in classrooms as well.
