B (15 KP) rated LeVar Burton Reads in Podcasts

Jan 10, 2018

If you grew up with Reading Rainbow this podcast can fill your nostalgia and want for Levar’s voice in your ears. These stories are not always the light and fluffy stories for children reading rainbow produced. My episode suggestion is episode 11: The Paper Menagerie by Ken liu and Episode 5: What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah. Both of these stories with Levar Burton’s voice behind them brought tears to my eyes and expanded the way I look at certain things in my life. I cannot express the joy this podcast gives me with each listening.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated War Stories: New Military Science Fiction in Books

Jan 12, 2018

As a military fiction fan and a sci fi fan this was the best of both worlds in one. I loved how most of the stories were from either a LBGT perspective or a female one. Also the various views of war from authors(and in a lot of cases) soldiers from not only different branches but different countries. There were one or two stories that were very difficult to read because their wordiness caused them to be pretentious and drag on(one in particular). Over all though I would recommend this book and would like to see some authors turn the short stories into full length books.

I'm very much enjoying how Sweterlitsch combines Sci-Fi and mystery in very engaging thought provoking ways. I've read, watched, and consumed a lot of time travel stories. There are tons of bad ones, but this is an excellent take and surprisingly takes care of a few plot hole problems inherent in time travel stories. As someone who has been trying to write a time travel story for over 8 years, I really appreciate good stories that help to revive my passion for the genre.

I'm really excited to find out what they do with the movie adaptation, and I'm really enjoying Sweterlitsch's work. I look forward to his future projects.

May 7, 2019

this is a fantastic read, it is like reading two stories in one book. this is a very well written book with just the right amount of hot scenes and sweet scenes to keep you reading long into the night. there are a few surprises along the way which also keep you held in the story. the main characters have there own stories to tell which makes this a fab read. this book contains flash backs of the characters stories, this help to h=give you more of the history. i cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Great Game

This is one of my favorite games. It's so addictive. The choices that you make really affect the story so you can play through the same story multiple times and still enjoy it. They have a pretty good variety of stories now and they update a lot of them pretty regularly. One of the things I really love is they have really diverse characters and some really immersive stories. You can earn diamonds for the diamond choices, and you get passes fairly often. 10/10 highly recommend this game.

Ian Parr (9 KP) rated Wild Tales (2014) in Movies

Nov 18, 2019

"Six stories are told in this movie, and all are entertaining and enjoyable. However, because these are short stories, I found some ended too soon, left me wanting more, to find out what happened next, and one or two had disappointing endings. The pick of the stories are 'El más fuerte', about a road rage incident that escalates and the last story, 'Hasta que la muerte nos separe', about a wedding that goes very very badly! I would have liked some connection between each story, like a character appearing in each, but as it is it still comes highly recommended."
