Ten is an original character as in he is an ex-monk, ex-cop turned PI. This concept is what caught my attention when the post from our local bookstore came across my FB feed.

I was not disappointed when I finished book one immediately purchased books two and three.

I hope you enjoy Ten as much I do.

I like the concept of the story , but if you are a fan of th fairy tale sweet versions these dark ones might really not be for you. I didn’t expect to like to much . Better than I thought it would be.

Very original drama, where each episode sees one of the strange tattoos on "Jane Doe"'s body reveal an imminent terror threat, or unravel corporate greed. The effort put into the tattoo puzzles was excellent and felt like they were solved with genuine effort. The emerging underlying plot and identifying who Jane might really be added an extra dimension.

A classic
I still love this story after countless readings and about as many reboots. Few are unfamiliar with the story, which lends itself well to contemporary retellings. But I enjoy revisiting the original now and then. It's a very quick read, and one of my favorite ghost stories and tales of redemption. If Scrooge can change, who can't?

Toned down and having to open up with a new plot and antagonists, since the original fortune hunters are now all dead, this one does retread the same ground but still, it entertaining.

The costumes have become more tame, as has the overall feel, but it delivers the formula and is now becoming quite practiced at it.

Reliable and easy to use
I prefer Libby to the original overdrive app for reading and listening to my library books. Passages can now be highlighted in the ebooks on Libby. Audio is easy to navigate and bookmark. Browsing for books and audios are easy.

One downside is that the books/audios download automatically, I’d rather choose.

The way they bought the original in through music memories. In general the acting was good. Some wonderful cinematography too. (0 more)
Mr lamplighter (sorry don't know his name) ruined the whole film for me. Found him annoying and unbelievable from the start. Also have issues with Mary Poppins doing a raunchy number - just not right. (0 more)
A little disappointed.

Good genre blender
A decent Horror, Thriller mash up as a group of kidnappers get more than they bargained for. For a low budget film the effects are OK, the story is good with a decent twist. If you don't mind something off the main stream for your horror thrills then check this out.

Fantastic Beasts: CoG Simply put, falls short of its predecessors. Revelations in the movie are just put there to make the story fit into the original source material of the Wizarding World. Outrage over the overall film and not its characters afflictions should have been forefront.

Prior to his run in with the law, Snipes was quite the action star and this follow up to the surprising original gives us another action packed comic book entry that kicks ass and is an exciting watch with an interesting new villain.
There is also an interesting conflict introduced into the plot that augments an aleady good storyline.
