Bookapotamus (289 KP) rated Goodreads: Book Reviews in Apps
May 31, 2018
A great app to organize and share book recommendations
I have used Goodreads for years, and when they came out with an app I immediately downloaded it and it has made things much easier! The fact that I can just go to the library or a bookstore and scan into the app to add it my lists is very convenient! Hook up with friends or other book lovers, join groups and follow reviews, both of friends and authors alike. I wish there wasn't so much confusion as to verisons of books, some books are listed several times whether its the kindle version, or hardcover... and it's a bit difficult sometimes to find new books. But overall, really pleased with the app!

This is not a book I would normally pick up to read. But when I started to read it I was engulfed by the raw feelings of the main character (which I later discovered was in fact the author as this is autobiographical).
There are parts throughout the book where it jumps in time, sometimes it is a relevant memory, but other times I found it hard to reason as to why this "tidbit" had been inserted.
I think I would have liked to have known more about the process the main character had to go through for his daughter, as a lot of the book it about how the system doesn't always work, but I was intrigued as to the details of how it all worked out in the end.

At the cheapest level, this is a cheap way to watch the kinds of series/films you want to watch without adverts or waiting. Having created the entirely new concept of "binge watching", Netflix have made it easier to watch on your PC, laptop, tablet or mobile phone, moving from one to the next almost seamlessly. As a citizen of the UK, this is a great alternative to having to pay a license fee to not watch 99% of the available programming. Particularly as the license fee is now over double the cheapest Netflix subscription.
The regular addition of new shows means there's always something to watch, although it should be remembered that they do also remove shows, sometimes.

Contains spoilers, click to show
I'm not normally a fan of videogames but this one was a surprise. It was refreshing to be pulled in not only by the game but for the story itself and the philosophy behind it. It's not however a game for everyone due to its extreme violence, therefore more suitable for adults and people that don't mind being faced with an imperfect society and the prohlems that come with it. I also lived the fact that the main character is not only an outsider ( a feeling that most of us are familiar with) but is female which opens the market for a whole new wave of players that are often tired of a male dominated industry.

Good waste of time
Facebook is a part of life these days, I've been on there for about 10 years and checking Facebook has become a must multiple times a day for me (more habit than anything else).
However it is such a waste of time. There are far too many ads and rubbish posted.
The powers that be on there are either overzealous or disinterested.
It's also a great way of making yourself miserable by comparing your life to others (which is often massaged to look better than reality)
I don't think I could leave Facebook but sometimes I kinda wish I'd not joined in the first place.

Nostalgic 80s atmosphere (6 more)
The film sometimes even feels like it was made in the 80s
The cast has great chemistry with one another
The music is well picked
Suncoast Video! 😃
Matt Franklin is a highly relateable character
Epic typical 80s party finale
This is one of my all time favorite comedies. It's just so fun and nostalgic. For being a recent film, it actually feels a little bit like it was made in the 80s. It literally does that good of a job capturing that whole vibe. The soundtrack is fantastic and Topher Grace's character works at Suncoast Video...FREAKING SUNCOAST VIDEO! This is one of my go to movies when I'm depressed. It just makes me happy.
