ClareR (5716 KP) rated Sleeping Giants (Themis Files #1) in Books

If I could rate it higher than 10, I would!
I loved everything about this book: the style, the characters - everything. I found it gripping, I didn't want to put it down, but you know, real life. This is definitely one of my favourite books this year. I just want to know what happens next!

It was love from the first sentence. I will now be seeking out more of Backman's writing, the style is just so darn readable. It is snarky, and funny, and heartwarming, and heartbreaking.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Nightwoods in Books
Jan 15, 2018
This book was a bit artsy for me.
The writing style was wonderful, very descriptive & dramatic. The sentences are wonderfully crafted too. It was the plot that made me find this book lacking. It was pretty dull all the way through. Even the final showdown in the woods with Luce & Bud fell flat with me.

Dean (6926 KP) rated Good Luck Chuck (2007) in Movies

A pretty decent comedy with more than a fair share of laughs. A real mix of sex/romantic comedies. Like most rom-coms it's predictable but also similar to the likes of American Pie in many ways. Overall quite funny at times and enjoyable enough to watch if you like these style of comedy films.

Autumn (3 KP) rated Lips Touch: Three Times in Books
Jan 19, 2018
i was so surprised i liked this novel. actually, it's three short stories. i almost didn't get it because it looked like it was geared toward love sick 14 year olds. but Taylor has a beautiful writing style and i liked that i could tell she was from the NW in the first few pages.
Dankwa Brooks (5 KP) rated Now You See Me (2013) in Movies

A really cool popcorn movie. The direction was really well done and as you can expect fora movie about "magicians" was done with style and panache. The cast did great jobs too. Some of the stuff is unbelievable as the twists have turns and the turns have twists, but it's all fun and executed well.
AmyBee (4 KP) rated Hard Girls (DI Kate Burrows, #3) in Books
Sep 5, 2018
The storyline is gripping but I am not a fan of Cole's writing style. She seems to favour repeating the same cliched metaphors and phrases and uses a lot of dialectal lingo which often is without definition. Her paragraph spacing is also quite awry. Apart from this it was a good storyline and believable characters.
Dean (6926 KP) rated Venom (2018) in Movies
Oct 9, 2018
I'm not sure what to make of Venom really. It's ok, quite funny at times. Some of the action scenes are good. Overall though the story felt quite weak. Torn between a Deadpool style of humour and trying to be a good origin story as well. Not quite hitting Marvel's high standards.
