Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Our Kind of Cruelty: A Novel in Books

Oct 28, 2018

great character development (0 more)

Extremely disturbing

I won this book on Goodreads and had heard great things about it, the book definitely had a buzz. The writing style was good and made it very easy to be extremely creeped out and uncomfortable at the main characters thought process and actitons.

The Big Sleep

Raymond Chandler, Ian Rankin | 2011 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Rating

Early 'tec noir; if it only seems so familiar now it's because just about every such book since has copied that style of pulp fiction: the hard-bitten private eye, the liberal use of the vernacular, constant rain and the femme fatale are all now hallmarks of the genre

Not sure of RLSs writing style is always like this, or if it was pseudo-medieval speak, but it took a bit of getting used to. Hero not too bright in many ways and something very odd seems to be going on with the Wars of the Roses chronology!

Video Game Rating

This is a beautiful looking and colourful game, but I am not particulary happy with the pokemon go style catching system. It adds nothing good to the gameplay and makes the level grinding boring. Other than that, I loved replaying the original story in such a bright, happy setting.

Legendary: Caraval Book 2

Stephanie Garber | 2018 | Science Fiction/Fantasy

8.4

(13 Ratings)

Book Rating

If Caraval made you obsessed with the world, then Legendary will make you worship it.

The book is a joy to read, not just because of the characters that you can't help but love (hero or villain), but the poetic style in which Garber writes.

Bring on Finale.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Child's Play (2019) in Movies

Jun 30, 2019

It’s hard to touch the 1988 film, and in many ways this one doesn’t touch its mastery, but it makes its case as a proper remake. A true classic never goes out of style, but Klevberg delightfully reimagines it all together.
