Entertaining
While searching through a list of "horror" movies to watch I came upon this interesting title. It turned out better than expected. Plenty of creepy imagery and characters it was quite entertaining. With the old school feel of it the cinematography and acting were very well done. The story- while a little predictable- proved to flow smoothly without being cumbersome or difficult to keep up with and entertained quite thoroughly. If you're into old style "ghostly" thrillers you will enjoy this one. Worth a watch!

Unpredictable
Challenging nostalgic fun
Backed this game on Kickstarter on a whim, easily the best game my wife and I have bought on there. The art style reminds me of sketches from a notebook my friends would draw in high school, I can see how some people don't like it but it's really grown on us. Moreover, the base game is very unpredictable and that can make it turn from feeling easy to a grim defeat rather quickly which makes it a great challenge game.

20-something friends James and Skip are starting a moving company, but in their first load of stuff, they find a severed finger with their high school class ring on it. It took me a while to get into the book because there is more language and drinking than I normally like, but I was soon hooked by the characters and intriguing story.

This is my Condense Review:
I received this book from the author. I read it and it was every cute and funny. I rhymes every so often. The story tell about how he is named "I'm Squirrely".

I love how the pictures are funny to look at and the story itself is funny. I was laughing almost every time I read the book. It tell how he acts in school and what he does at home. It show just how he loves moving and Grooving.

Law school sucks. The end.

While I liked the characters overall and I did feel a tad sorry for them, I didn't gain much else from this book. It's predictable and somewhat boring. I only finished reading it just to say that I had.

I've heard so many good things about Grisham, but I definitely would not place this one at the top of a list. However, I'm not going to judge the author based on one book. There are always hits and misses somewhere.

My new most used App
Seeing as I have dived head first into the SmashBomb Network, this is an app I go to a lot. I am very old school so I do not like writing long form reviews on my phone but for giving Kudo points and for checking what people I am following have done - it is superb. And literally it is nothing against the app when it comes to typing in the app. I hate typing any long piece of text on my phone.
