Me and my family use Amazon a lot for our shopping needs and I can read for free on there too which I really love. We love it because a lot of the stuff on there is cheaper than what you find in a store. Most likely if you cant find what you are looking for in a store you will find it on Amazon and you only have to wait 2 days for it to get there!

Fantastic!
I won this remote in a smashbomb giveaway and I could not be any more grateful!!! My parents already have one Roku Television & I gave this other remote to them for the second tv that they had in their home and now they can have a wide variety of shows, movies, etc. at their fingertips throughout their own little home! They live in an area where it is hard to get cable, and the installation is incredibly expensive so this works wonders for them! Especially since it can be linked to a Netflix! They are loving life! Sometimes it really is the little things! Thank you again so much! Hooking this up literally took 10-15 minutes! Easy breezy!

Charlie Parker has captured my soul
I picked up one of these novels off the Library shelf at random and have been unable to stop reading the series since (currently awaiting the next one). These novels tackle all the great themes of love and loss, of Good and Evil, of fall and redemption. The author's journalistic background is evident in the painstaking research that has been carried out to create these works. Charlie Parker is the most intriguing and multidimensional fictional detective I have encountered. Oh, and John Connolly's prose sometimes makes me have to stop and catch my breath so I can pause and just reread the magical combination of words I have discovered like diamonds in a mine.

Highly recommended for both new and longtime campers!
This book was so much fun! So much more than just a cookbook, it had everything from healthy, delicious looking recipes to tips on virtually every aspect of camping! As an avid longtime (& sometimes full-time) camper myself it was great to see so many little helpful tidbits for those just heading out into the woods as well as some awesome ideas for our next trip out.
So much more informative than any camping cookbook I've seen - Humourous and inspirational stories and tidbits like 12 different ways to make a s'more and a huge list of delicious sounding pancake toppers. Helpful tips about foraging, pets, wildlife, fun illustrations, even car games & fun for the kids!
Fabulous book and beautiful cover - Highly recommended for both new and longtime campers!

unique plot (2 more)
great acting
twists and turns
I went into this movie blind, having never seen the trailer or read the plot, and i thoroughly enjoyed it! Anna Kendrik and Blake Lively come together to make a great pairing, both being great actors and filling their characters with personality that grips the viewers attention from the beginning.
The movie contains many twists and turns, most of them surprising but some of them a little predictable (which is why i only gave it a rating of 9). Unlike some movies with a similar theme to this, such as Gone Girl, i found that the plot pulled you in from the beginning, rather than taking a while to get going.
Overall i thought this was a great movie with a unique plot line, deep and interesting characters, and great acting.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Master of Rome (Masters of the Sea, #3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The third book in John Stack's 'Masters of the Sea' series, this continues the story of Atticus from the previous two novels. As I've said before, it's an interesting setting - the Roman Navy during the First Punic War - due to it's relative unfamiliarity to the reader: we're all aware of Hannibal crossing the Alps (which was during the Second Punic War), and of the might of the Roman army, but I can think of very few other books dealing with their navy!
This starts with teh Roman army defeated at Tunis, and then details the repercussions from this defeat and various other naval battles the fleet participates in. The novel also covers a long(ish) period of time: the events within are, sometimes, maybe a year or so apart.
Readable enough, but not a brilliant piece of writing.

Kate (493 KP) rated Clio at War in Books

Pleasantly surprised
I wasn't sure whether I was going to enjoy this book as it is based in the war but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the secrets which both myself as a reader and the main character Clio is trying to uncover.
I wouldn't normally read this type of book but glad I did.
The story took me a few chapters to get into and sometimes I felt I was going off it but something always happened to bring me back.
It was nice to see how Clio grew throughout the book and the friends she made. She really fit in within the community at the end.
Then book definitely exceeded the blurb. When I read the blurb I wasn't sure if it was a book I would enjoy but I am glad I took the opportunity and read it.

Detail
Nostalgic
An excellent novelisation of a classic game.
I thoroughly enjoyed S.D. Perry's 1st volume of her seven book Resident Evil series.
The book not only stayed true to the original game, and managed to not miss a single detail, but somehow goes into more detail without inventing her own non-canonical parts of the story.
The book brings a great sense of nostalgia, a throwback to the day you first played the game, and the most nostalgic part is Barry's famous "Jill sandwich" line, that Perry keeps intact.
My only criticism is the narration, the way the reader actually reads the book. Sometimes characters appear to be breaking the fourth wall, answering to the author, distracting you from the tension the author has just created.
All in all a good read!

Dark humour makes for an entertaining and easy viewing.

This was a great series to pass time. An easy viewing, full of comedic lines and dark humour. Some of which was relatable, however worth watching the series 'Children's Hospital' first, as Medical Police is a spin off from that series. To make sense of the series, as when I saw a Doctor dressed as as a weird clown, I couldn't make sense why. It wasn't very clear and I had to Google it to make sense of it. However I would highly recommend this series to have a laugh. I would consider this series similar to that of 'Scrubs'. The actors were great together and storyline although sometimes lengthy leading to a bore at times, it was also gripping and exciting, as well as hilarious!

"But now he knew the truth. Now he knew that joy isn’t measured by its duration, but by its intensity."
I don't often five star books, they have to be something really special for me to do that, but if I could sum this book up in one quote, it would be this one.
I laughed, I got far too attached to the characters and way to invested in their stories and by the end, I was in tears.
This book is funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking and, for someone living with several chronic illnesses that feels a little too much like this could become reality--sometimes too close to home.
The ending is bittersweet and although I saw it coming, I couldn't stop myself bawling when it happened.
This will stay with me for a while.
