Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Dystopia (Dystopia, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Dystopia] by [Janet McNulty] is a modern version of [1984] and example of when good intentions get caught up in greed and people are too lazy to care. The characters were very well developed as well as their relationships. The whole idea struck me as what people in the old Soviet Union must have felt like. (I am a history nerd.) I feel the message is that no matter what if people are apathetic they will lose what means the most to them and sometimes standing up for what is right can be really hard.

Fabulous acting (2 more)
Wonderful cinematography
Complexity of human relations
Another beautiful film from the master Almodovar
Pedro Almodovar has such a wonderful eye for understanding the human condition. Unlike his more outlandish colourful films, this is about the tragic relationships of estranged families and the breakdown in communications. Written in the perspective of a mother whose daughter left or went missing 12 years previously, the film shows her writing a letter to her daughter about all the mistakes she made in that relationship including erasing her from her life. Really very moving and poignant.
Jarom Solar Norris (177 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.

absolutely loved it, really enjoyed reading the story from Christians point of view and learning so much more about the character. loved how you got more insight into Christian's past through his nightmares. also loved how you learned about his relationships with the other characters in the story. really loved the Leila story line, really good finding out more about what's going on and how its affecting him. really hope she writes the other two books from Christian's point of view. highly recommended

Trish (4 KP) rated Rich and Pretty in Books
Feb 8, 2018
I read reviews before reading the book so I knew not to expect anything big. Going in with less expectation brought with it a very thought provoking book for me! I am still in shock that it was written by a man.
This book is the story of friendship between two women from childhood into adulthood. It is real. The struggle is real. Their lives are real. Nothing happens except life. It made me re examine my friendships and feel better about how our relationships have changed and evolved. So refreshing to read something real.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Unrivalled in Books
Feb 1, 2018
This is a quick read about teens in Hollywood - but not all is as it seems. The main characters are from different walks of life and are all involved in this club promotion contest for very different reasons. They don't expect to make friends or even like each other, but unforseen circumstances bring them together for better or worse. Read the book to find out what happens! Recommended to young adult/teen readers that like contemporary books about teens that involve drama, relationships, a bit of mystery and glamour.
Mars (8 KP) rated A Gathering of Shadows in Books
Oct 4, 2018
This book was fantastic. I loved the plot. I loved the new characters. And I loved the new relationships formed with previous characters.
Delilah and Kell, I want to end up together. I didn't even acknowledge that I wanted this until the very end when I saw how much they cared about each other.
I loved the development of Rhy as a character as well.
Surprisingly enough, this book was superior to the first.
Towards the end, I could not put this book down for the life of me.

Milleen (47 KP) rated Paris for One and Other Stories in Books
Nov 14, 2018 (Updated Nov 14, 2018)
Top up on hapless heroines and romance in this year's collection of eleven beautifully crafted short stories. Jojo Moyes is a skilful spinner of characters and fantasy male/female relationships and this short collection is just as satisfying as her novels. The protagonists are warm and slightly quirky which makes them endearing and memorable. If you haven't read a book for a while, short stories are just what you need to warm up your reading habits this winter. Several stories in this collection will get you hooked on Moyes light hearted take on the world
