Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2528 KP) rated Say Goodbye in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Gary Kellerman gets involved in a mystery when his neighbor dies in a car accident. To complicate matters, he can't hide his attraction to the only witness. Good story, likeable characters. However, I found the romantic sub-plot moved too fast for me to buy and I never got used to the writing style.

I enjoy reading Sylvia Plath. She has a great writing style that really digs deep. It is so full of pain and sorrow, it's very masterful. I had read a lot of these poems before for other classes and back in high school, so it was cool to come back to them after so long and see them a different way.
I would recommend these to people who want to look at the world in a different perspective.

Well designed but I just didn't get into it.
I love the look and the feel of this game. I completely admire the way they keep people hooked and and playing. It is interesting that with it being a Warcraft/Blizzard game that I am not fanboy all over it but... I just don't dig it.
The card game style has just never grabbed me. Give it a shot and see if you like for me it doesn't work.

Great story about two brothers who compete in a ufc style fight circuit. Each brother has their own reasons for doing so and end up facing off against each other. It's a very moving story that unfolds well and leaves you cheering for the two. There's a lot of emotion in this one. This was the first movie I ever watched with Tom Hardy in it. Made me a fan. This action drama is really worth a watch!
Dean (6927 KP) rated Monster House (2006) in Movies

A very good animated film about a house that is actually a living monster! It has a different type of animation style to most, no cute characters and bright colours here, which is in keeping with the story. It's still well animated with a good sense of depth adding a feeling of 3D space in the film. It's a little slow to start but soon picks up. It's a mix of a children's adventure with a Twilight zone story.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018) is crazy delightful. #Review
“Crazy Rich Asians” may open with some awful British racism, but it’s an effective shorthand way of introducing fearsome matriarch Eleanor Young (Michelle Yeo) and putting us firmly in the Young family’s corner. And it’s a necessary step too because we’re about to embark on a visually lavish exploration of the trials and tribulations of the lifestyles of the obscenely rich and wantonly famous, Singapore-style...

Yoshi (40 KP) rated Thirteen Reasons Why in Books
Oct 29, 2018
This is one of those rare books that I actually stayed up until 2am to read in one go. I think my favorite part about it was the unusual writing style employed by the author. The focus frequently switches between Hannah's voice on the tapes and Clay's reaction to her words in a coherent fashion that unlike some books is not confusing at all. If they ever made this into a movie I'd definitely watch it.

This had been sitting in my Kindle library for a wee while ... and it's probably a good thing as i wanna know more NOW and I can go get PWNED and (fingers crossed) wont be long till the 3rd book is out
Having known the writers earlier projects on xbox etc I knew what to expect from her style of writing ... believable characters, with plenty of humour and intrigue
loving your work Christa ... GIMME MORE :D

Worth the hype
A lot of people said this was great but I get dubious of hype but this lives up to it. With animation like the illustrations from a children's book, Klaus is a touching, heartwarming and even sometimes magically sad story. This is quickly going to become a firm Christmas favorite.

I chose this book because of its links to Egypt, my brother is an Egyptologist so it tweaked my interest.
I quite enjoyed the back and forth of the story from Egypt to England and vice versa. And I enjoyed the writing style, I found it quite Dan Brownesq.
All in all a good book, and a good story,which is quite exciting at times.
My only criticism would be that he seems to go off track sometimes .
