Book Divas (227 KP) rated Trial By Charm (The Charmed Trials Series Book 1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
I found myself grinning and giggling as I read this mythological YA book and had an extremely hard time putting it down. The author's writing style quickly pulls you in and you find yourself falling into the captivating story line enjoying the likeable characters. I highly recommend this hypnotic read.

This is the first book I've read written by this author and I was pleased. The writing style is different to others as it is indicative of someone with a free spirit. The plot is interesting and we get a feel for the places that Talia traveled to. I also loved the growth that this character went through. I had no expectations going into this book and I am happy to say that I look forward to reading the next book.

Hardgoing!
I really struggled reading this. I veered between hating it and finding it mildly amusing, but picking it up to read was a bit of a feat of willpower. I could have given up (and to be quite honest, I usually do) but I wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters. They were actually quite likeable. I just didn't like the style of writing. So sheer nosiness is the one and only reason why I finished this book!
Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Star Wars: Lando in Books
Jan 11, 2018
A rollicking "Ocean's 11" style caper with the likable Lando at it's lead. What's not to like? Great characterization and matching art. This has been the most solid of the Star Wars mini series Marvel has launched since the Disney acquisition. (At least that I've read so far.) I understand it was trimmed down from a planned 8 or 10 issue arc to 5, and that's a same, because the finale does feel a bit truncated, but still well worth your time!

Not a typical punch kick superhero show (1 more)
Visually fantastic
Mindbendingly awesome
Really loved this show!
This psychedelic mind Bender of a show always left me guessing, and almost reeling from the diversionary plot twists which added to the style in which the show projected.
The narrative was very strong and precise, yet still devoid of any cliché or predictability.
If you haven't seen it and want a comic book themed show that's way off left field... This is for you 😉

Great cinematography (1 more)
Awesome shoot outs
A very stylish action packed film
A very good old fashioned action film. Simple plot with a former hitman coming out of retirement on a quest for revenge. This doesn't try to be anything it's not, just action packed with crazy fight and shoot out scenes. The difference is that you can see the attention to detail in every scene. From the lighting, camera angles and fight choreography the film has a very slick visual style to it.

Mario Party: Animal Crossing Style
Extremely reminicent of Mario Party, you travel around a game board over the course of a month and try to get the most points. Each month has special events but other than that it's exactly the same. It's fun to play one or two rounds but anymore at a time becomes tedious.
It's a cute game that is fun in small spurts, but has low replay value.

Background stories aren't believable
An ok read
Contains spoilers, click to show
Good plot line. Writing style was decent, but not stellar. I liked the unique protagonist, and the characters were likable. While I like the fact that their recruits had a variety of backgrounds and skills, some of it wasn't believable. Some of the characters were really good at semi-common skills, but still made me wonder how they ended up with the agency.

Great fight scenes
Good 80's soundtrack
Explosive action
A good action film with some great action scenes. The fights are awesome, gritty and well edited. It's not surprising from the same director as @John Wick (2014), this has a similar slick visual style to it. Charlize Thereon looks stunning and really gave her all in the action scenes. The plot can be a bit confusing with a lot of double crossing but overall it's an enjoyable stylish film.
