Didn't Match Up
This book is about first love, and having a physical relationship for the first time. Normally I enjoy cute love stories, but this was a little flat. The topic and themes were solidly YA, but the writing style is more middle grade. This made the characters come across as younger than what they were. I think if the book had focused more on the emotional aspects of their relationship it would have been better. Unfortunately it was mostly about their sex life. The one up side is that the book did put a lot of emphasis on safe sex.

Human-AI relationship
This book is ****ing epic!
The unique format and the eventful plot are just part of the reasons that make Illuminae an incredible reading.
The struggle of the cold logic of an AI that tries to stay true to its core programming but still finds itself evolving, trying to grasp human nature, even feeling emotions that it cannot completely understand (envy, rage, love, fear) reaches peaks that have something of the lyric typical of literary fiction shelf.
And this is just one of the plot line!
I can't wait to find out what's next.

The final in a wonderfully written trilogy this story brings together some of my favorite things. Reliance on someone that you barely know and fighting for what you believe in while conquering yourself. While I did get a tad bored through some of it most of the book follows the same format and writing style as the first two. This makes it an easy read that can be done all in one sitting. You will find yourself swept into the world and enjoying the main characters while rooting for them.
Perfect for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia.

The limited work of Enchantress
Don't know why it got slated
If you follow the comics or some of the games there is a lot of references to Escape from Arkham, admittedly some of the actors were for the sake of the name though taking it purely to the story it is close to the style of the graphic novels.
Rather than watching it expecting happy shiny marvel and the dark Justice League stories approach with an open mind. You will be pleasantly surprised

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Mercenary (Deadliest Lies #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is a deep dark mystery with added hot steamy scenes to keep you reading long into the night. The hot chemistry will set the pages alight as you read them. This is the second book in the series and can be read as a stand alone. This author is a fab story teller with an amazing writing style. This is a fast paced, very hot and steamy, suspenseful read you wont want to put down. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This is one of the most addictive games I have played, it in the style of flappy birds but way harder.
You have to manoeuvre your flying saucer through the satellite by tapping the screen there warp hole and Shields to help you but it is still impossible to score over 20.
This fun little game is ideal to play when you have 10mins to kill, it's hard to believe that it was made by a 10year old but.
It's only available on the Google store so check it out today.

compelling story
ingenious puzzle solving
Contains spoilers, click to show
i used to love the old style adventure games like Myst, Riven and Schizm and this definitely reminds me of these. Its a clever concept where a young boy get washed up on an island and sets out to find out what mysteries the island holds. A lot of puzzle solving that involves moving objects, lining them up, jumping, climbing and also collecting items and artifacts. Its a beautifully designed game with haunting music and a wonderful and colourful setting. I love it and i would recommend it to those that like puzzle/adventure games

Having waited 30+ years for this film I fell asleep upon first viewing as I was bored rigid.
I am a huge fan of the original, however this was a gigantic disappointment, Gosling is as charismatic as a broken rubiks cube and Jared Leto was useless as a Tyrell wannabe who dials in a William Shatner style performance as he attempts to steal every scene he is in.
The cinematography and sound design are outstanding and that's where the good stuff ends.
Let me make this quite clear, I do not like this overly long moving picture!

Disney's deadpool
Ryan Reynolds returns in this PG re-imagining of deadpool 2 and without blood or cursing, you ask how could he manage?
Well he'll do it all, with the help of Fred Savage.
In this pg version, deadpool has kidnapped and taped Fred Savage to his bed in this Princess Bride style telling of deadpool 2, with 15-20 mins of new scenes, its worth watching this movie if only for the pure banter between fred and wade which includes a small musical number.
This movie was made to help the fight against cancer ?

I seldom ever leave a novel unfinished once I have begun reading it. There are exceptions, however, and this so called "erotic" novel was one of them.
The only comments that I can give after reading the few chapters are even fewer. Her style is like that of Hemingway's, choppy and a stream of consciousness so that I found myself constantly rereading the same sentences and paragraphs just to understand what the author was trying to say. To me, the writing seemed far to staccato to even enjoy. I don't think I will be reading any more of Ms. Schone's erotic novels.
