Dean (6926 KP) rated Monster House (2006) in Movies
Aug 29, 2018
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.

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 .

Shell Wright (34 KP) rated My Sister, the Serial Killer in Books

I had great hope's for this book, due to reviews I had read before picking it up. A bit disappointing, if I'm honest. It did read like a story but without any emotion. It was predictable which was quite off-putting. I read reviews of humour, but I found none. Written in short chapters so very quickly and easily read. I did read it all though, so there is that. I probably wouldn't recommend.

Beautiful mythological tale of perseus saving a princess through battling many a trial.
The effects although great for their time have suffered greatly although the Harryhausen style will always command respect from those in the know.
It's a great fantasy movie where you can forget your issues and bathe in one of the classics that hands down beats the hell out of the CGI heavy remake. One for kids and adults that never really gets old.

I was slightly nervous when I started reading this book as I adored the first one however I was slightly disappointed when I read the second one as I didn’t find it as good. But it was brilliant!! I was thrilled to find that it was as good as the first one.I love JoJo Moyes writing style, I find myself laughing out loud at Louisa’s funny thoughts. It was a enjoyable lighthearted easy read - I would recommend.
