Purrsistently (46 KP) rated Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, #1) in Books

Clarence
Malcolm’s Sass
Loads of fun but not a must-read
Jurassic Park was pleasantly well written, and I really enjoyed learning all these little details not in the movies, such as Clarence. The chaos theory stuff was great but that feels stale and mundane after too many years featuring Trump.
Malcom was fun and sometimes Hammond was too but honestly the other characters are pretty forgettable.
Read it if you love dinosaurs like I do, it’s fun, but if you aren’t dinosaur obsessed you’ll be bored. I liked it a lot but it doesn’t make my “omg everyone needs to read this” level of recommendation. :P

Great place to read free manga!
Manga Hub is a great app that allows you to read free Manga. There are a ton of titles to choose from that get updated regularly, if they're not a complete series. You can check your history for a list of titles that you have been reading, and there will be a tag that denotes a new update if there is one. The pages are usually scanned clearly, and while the translations sometimes aren't 100% perfect, they are very close. You won't lose the meaning at all. You'll love this app if you want to read manga! It's so easy to use!

Twists all over the place!
An amazingly twisty thriller! I read it quickly, because I just couldn't stop. I needed to know what would happen next.
The plot as we know it going in:
There are three things you should know about me:
1. I'm in a coma.
2. My husband doesn't love me any more.
3. Sometimes I lie.
That's really all I needed to suck me in. And it's all I'll tell you, so you can enjoy the story for yourself without any pre-knowledge. I thought it was well-written, and well done. I've heard rumors that there may be a sequel - I am on board for that!

Micky Barnard (542 KP) rated How to Stop Time in Books
Sep 30, 2018
This is my first read by Matt Haig. HOW TO STOP TIME is unique, deep, sometimes long-winded, sad, desperate and interesting. It has a past-present approach to story telling that worked very well.
The protagonist, Tom doesn’t age, at least not normally. He’s met Shakespeare, he’s loved but he’s lost so deeply and he remembers so much. This is a tale of such longing and of the inertia of existing for so long. It’s tragic, not particularly uplifting or depressing but it left me somewhat sad.
I particularly enjoyed the original storyline but I struggled occasionally with the pacing.
The audio narration, male single POV was very good.

Alexia oh how I love thee
Alexia is a true heroine and independant woman! I love her sense of adventure and fashion. She is spunky, sassy and intelligent showing that u dont have to be in the cookie cutter mold to be attractive to a guy like Lord Maccon. They are such a good pair together and compliment each other great. The character development Ms. Carriger gives to each and every character even down to the kind of shoes they had on, or sometimes lack there of is extraordinary. This new story line of the super-natural is superb.
Roxanne (13 KP) rated The Harrowing in Books
Nov 14, 2018
The Harrowing is a great Ghost Story, very gripping and entertaining. The beginning was great and the ending was even better, at one point I was holding my breath and I just couldn't put the book down. I was so close to giving this book 5 stars but I was disappointed with some of the filler and unfortunately at times I did lose interest...however this only happened a couple of times. Overall, this was a great book with very likable characters in which I sometimes felt connected to so a very good emotional ride of a story. I highly recommend this book to fans of gripping ghost stories.

A year later still going
I've had this game for a couple of years. Love designing my garden and the different challenges you can join. The levels are sometimes really difficult and others super easy.
I will fade in and out of playing it a lot of the time, but will always return to it.
The flower challenge can be annoying as you have to use your unlimited time when you get it and I end up wasting half of it due to life getting in the way. Damn being an adult.

It's good!
eBay is a good app and site to use but you do need to be careful because there are scammers out there and there are also items that are not as described. Some sellers write clothes sizes in UK but they are in fact not the UK sizes they are EU sizes or US sizes. You just have to be careful. Also, recommend paying through PayPal as any problems that do occur E.G. being scammed, they will get your money back and/or sort the issue out.
David McK (3505 KP) rated Wolfsangel (Craw Trilogy, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Described (by 2 different authors, in the blurb on the back of the book in this edition) as "A unique take on the werewolf mythos, on the Norse pantheon an on magic itself. An enthralling, mesmeric book" and "A fresh take on the werewolf myth ... Brutal and relentlessly original", I have to say: this novel was nothing at all like I expected. Where I was expecting an excting tale of Vikings, shapeshifters and magic, instead I got a slow, torpid and (sometimes) impenetrable read instead. The first in a planned series of such books, I doubt I'll be looking for any of the sequels.
I chose this book for my monthly book club, as we had chosen the topic of transport and I had this book at home waiting to be read. I had a lot of anticipation, as i had just read misery and loved it.
I liked this book but found it was drawn out, I felt like instead of the 600 pages it could have been half that, and because of its length I found myself getting bored sometimes.
All in all a good story and it would be recommended, but I dont think it's for everyone , not everyone would have the patience with it.
