Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Exile on Front Street: My Life as a Hells Angel in Books
Jan 15, 2018
"My philosophy was that, no matter what, you'll get where you're going. Maybe you take the road you didn't expect, and it turns out to be the long way. That doesn't matter. You keep your head because you're an outlaw. You get there traveling whatever road you need to take." -George Christie
Who knew such wise words could come from the pen of a former president of the Hells Angels? What a fascinating read. Christie is a real life cowboy who isn't afraid to tell his story the way he sees it.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Deadly Outbreaks in Books
Aug 21, 2017
Important, interesting, freaky and even a little terrifying
A fascinating look into the Centre for Disease Control and their role in dealing with some serious but highly interesting, insane real life outbreaks. Each chapter discusses fatal cases which in itself can be turned into a film. From deadly ice cream, to an epidemic of newborns dying at a hospital - these are important cases that need addressing and for further public awareness. As vital as this book is, it's filled with scientific jargon and requires concentration. A great read.
RaeJ (5 KP) rated Love You Dead (Roy Grace book 12) in Books
Sep 6, 2017
The storyline in general is very good and it stays true to real life when the scene is described as it's set primarily in Brighton, England. Peter James has a very good descriptive style with his work and it definitely shows with this story. (1 more)
This book is very gripping and it definitely keeps you engaged and wanting to read more.
Gripping As Usual
Imagine knowing nothing of the outside world. From birth, all you know and have ever seen is all in one room. This book is powerful. I feel it gets most of its strength from the fact that everything is written from Jack's perspective. He is 5. If he doesn't know what something is, you don't either. Outside is completely alien to Jack. A little real life horror here.
A note about the movie: the only good parts in that movie happened in the first half hour. That movie DID NOT do justice to this book!

A nice surprise
I had never heard of this book until I was given it as a birthday present because it won the Boiler prize the year I was born (1987). All I can say is what a pleasant surprise. It's a well written and intriguing story of the life and loves of a woman on her death bed. The main character Claudia is very flawed, but it makes her more real, personable and intriguing, and there are a few interesting story developments that keep you reading throughout.
Domonique (0 KP) rated Library of Souls: The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in Books
May 12, 2018
This was such a good conclusion to the story of Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children. I was so hoping that Jacob and Emma would get a chance to be together without the hollows and the threat of the whites and just to be normal kids, so to speak, and I'm glad that's what happened in the end. I hope that Jacob's parents come around and finally realize how special their son is and I'm glad the children and Miss Peregrine found a way to live outside a loop and experience real life.
Melissa Farman- Foster (3 KP) rated One Day in December: A Christmas Love Story in Books
Feb 4, 2019
Book review
Loved it! Many love stories are way too cliché... they see each other.. they fall in love... they get together... the end. This is much more realistic but still a good story. Whilst Lu goes through some tough times, it reflects the real world the challenges of life where everything isn't sugar coated.
Jarom Solar Norris (186 KP) rated Hearts Beat Loud (2018) in Movies
Feb 13, 2019 (Updated Feb 13, 2019)
THIS MOVIE IS SO PURE. Hearts Beat Loud‘s tagline is “The Feel Good Movie We Need Right Now” and I don’t know if I can describe it any better. It has great acting, great music, a great story about relationships and love and real-life problems, great design and editing, great everything. I could try and go into details but it just feels like I can say “every bit of it feels good” and tell you the music will be stuck in your head for months and call it a day.
Chryssie (13 KP) rated Game Of Thrones in TV

Intense drama with lots of plots to follow
Characters you hate to love and characters you love to hate;
In the seven kingdoms you will never be short on either!
This epic TV show is based on the books by George R R Martin and it truly does bring Westeros and the world of the seven kingdoms to life.
You will see epic battles, beautiful costumes, impressive animals ( real and mythical) and get swept away in the right for the Iron Throne.

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Rocketman (2019) in Movies
May 25, 2019
And it seems to be, he lived his life burning candles at both ends. Rocketman (2019) Review
The real genius of “Rocketman”, other than Elton John and Bernie Taupin themselves, is the wonderful narrative conceit of framing the story as a rehab confessional. It allows the makers or this musical fantasy to dive deep into the unreliable narration of a man who may be willing to air the dirty laundry of his past but still has a modern-day brand and reputation to protect...
