Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated The Secret Paris Cinema Club in Books
Oct 5, 2020
After ''Ingredients of love'', I thought there couldn't be a better love book in Paris. I was so much wrong. This book... This book.. is the most amazing thing I've read in maybe years. Melanie reminds me of myself. Every single part of her. Her character has made me want to read the book one more time and another and another. And Alain,oh my God.. His will to find her left me breathless. His resistance to Solene, his love for Melanie and his strong faith, even when sometimes even he lost faith.. At the end, I realized that everything remains in the hands of Destiny. That little chance we all get in life, and our choice whether we'll make it right or wrong. Amazing.. <3

I buddy read this book with a friend, blindly picking it up on a shopping trip with no prior knowledge of the author, or wattpad honestly. The story was fun, and a great fast paced thriller for spooky season. The writing style was easy to follow, and everything moved pretty quickly, sometimes too quickly, but I'd rather have that than constant slow pauses. I will say the most heart pounding action for me was in the last chapter or two. Things got really good, really fast, just to end as quickly as it started. The ending feels open to a potential sequel, so maybe we'll see more in the future. Overall, great pace, fun story, and an ending that left me shocked and confused. 🤣

Hit and miss Halloween comedy
Thought I'd give this a go as it's a new Halloween comedy. I'm not much of a fan of Adam Sandler at the best of times. This has a few laughs, a great cast line up and the overall production is very good. His silly voice throughout the film is rather annoying. Makes it hard to understand what he is saying sometimes and was no need for it.
Starts well but by the end was just a bit silly, felt more like a live action scooby-doo film by the end. Aimed at a younger audience perhaps as it could have gone more all out horror but the ending was disappointing.

Mothergamer (1622 KP) rated Ghost of a Tale in Video Games

This is a very cute indie game where you play as a little mouse Tilo who is a bard. The story starts with him in a jail cell on a prison island. The story explores why Tilo is there and ways for him to escape the island to find his wife who was separated from him. The game is all stealth which is interesting making you plan out strategies on how not to be seen by enemies. Sometimes the quests are a little tedious with the constant backtracking and lack of information, but the story is well written and the game is so charming I didn't mind so much.

David McK (3731 KP) rated Biggles Learns to Fly in Books
Dec 23, 2020
I was going to start this by saying this was the earliest set of the Biggles stories, back in The First World War.
Then I did a bit of research, and discovered that it depends upon how (and what) you are counting as a Biggles story/book - see http://www.biggles.info/
Perhaps, then, it would be better to say that this is the earliest set of any I have read.
Published in 1935, this is (apparently) a collection of 12 separate short stories, all of which are loosely linked together and follows some of Biggles earlier exploits.
I realise I'm not the target audience for these (I'm now too old). I don't care: sometimes it's nice just to re-live your childhood!

Pete Thompson (4339 KP) rated Madame X by Madonna in Music
Oct 13, 2019
After winning this from Smashbomb and requested I review it so here goes.
I would not have purchased this album even though I do like some of Madonnas other works but they are mostly the 80s hits and some from the Frozen album.
I found 2 or 3 tracks ok to listen to with nice use of beats and piano in the songs. But over all I felt she was trying to cater to too many genres which sometimes works but for me on this occasion it didnt. A generous 5 out of 10 from me.

Jacob Wilding (39 KP) rated We're Alive - A "Zombie" Story of Survival in Podcasts
May 10, 2020
I found this podcast years ago and it didn't have all the episodes then. But now I just finished it and it was amazing! There was a good amount of drama to action. The story keeps you guessing about what's going to happen next. The story does a good job at making you hate and love characters. Also the voice actors are amazing!
Only struggle I had was near the end conversations felt rushed sometimes and at other times it was hard to hear what other people were saying. Overall an amazing podcast for the zombie/apocalypse enthusiast.
