What an interesting book! I guess I could describe myself best as a skpetic...it's not that I don't believe. I've seen the power of prayer works it's magic, but I've also seen many unanswered prayers too. This book made me believe just a little bit more. How can one question the logic & sincerity of a 4 year old?
This book is normally not my style, but it was a wonderful story, made all the more interesting by the fact that it really happened. If nothing else check it out for that purpose alone. You don't have to believe to take something from this book.

This is a sequel to The Winter Sea and follows Anna, the child from that book as the second plot line. I'm kind of torn: I enjoyed Kearsley's writing style as much as in the first book, and it was good to see what had happened "off camera" with Anna. But some of the plot devices really felt like a stretch: like Dickens' multitude of coincidences in A Tale of Two Cities but without the benefit of actually being AToTC. I mean, I know we're talking about psychometry here but still.
Still a quick, fun read, but I simply didn't enjoy it quite as much as The Winter Sea.

Poor writing style
Significant plot holes
This book was touted as one of the best new releases not long ago and I finally took the plunge to read it. It was awful. Very likely one of the worst books I've read in my lifetime and one I can say without doubt I will never read again.
The characters are very poorly developed and 2-Dimensional. Never once in my life have a read a book where I actively hoped every character would simply die. Alas, this isn't the case and you suffer through with almost all of them until the bitter and disappointing end.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Angel: After the Fall, Volume 1 in Books

I have to say, this was bloody awesome! The style was there, the characters, the vibe, it all felt like Angel. Season eight of Buffy feels a bit 'out there' as far as the plot goes but this actually is a continuation of the series, and even though it didn't start right where the show (and action) left off (although, I think volume two of After the Fall does), it did a great job getting back into a groove. Not to mention the artwork is fabulous and the whole look of the book is beautiful. Great job, I hope the others in the series hold up as well.

Co-op

Old school graphics
I loved playing this game before the cooperative element was added and now it's even MORE fun.
It reminds me of old school Farmville for gameplay but the old gameboy Pokemon games for graphic style... Except its had a makeover in colour and a bit of an upgrade.
I can spent hours playing this game as there is always something to be done or going on and I love building and growing the farm.
Have seen they are also due to release a phone version of this game which I will TOTALLY be downloading to play as well!

Best. Game. Ever.
This game is so much fun. The maps are well animated in a classic Nintendo style. The mini-games are very fun and go between somewhat difficult and super easy, but the outcome never seems to be the same for one player. I just wish more people could play than just the four.
Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Avengers (2012) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Avengers Assembled is a film filled with amazing performances, great special effects and fantastic direction from long-time comic-book fan, Joss Whedon. He manages to craft a great film and considering the size of the cast, that’s no easy feat.
It lets itself down throughout the finale in which the audience is subjected to a Transformers-style alien invasion across New York City that could have been lifted straight out of any Michael Bay-directed flick. A great end to Phase One of the MCU, but not the classic everyone remembers it being.

Really well developed characters that you grow to care about
Great descriptions of the main characters and the thought processes behind their actions
I absolutely adored this book. Ive read a few John Green books in the past but didn’t ‘get’ him the way others do. This is the first one of his books I have connected with. I really cared about what happened to the main character and her ‘boyfriend’. The book kept me riveted till the very end. I enjoyed the writing style and might now revisit Green’s other books and try them again.
Lindsay (1717 KP) rated The Amazing Adventure of Paddy Platypus in Books
Feb 15, 2018
I was enjoyed this book. It tells about how Platypus are. They tell as a bit about them. We find out how fast he is and what he good at. It also teaches us about good at and what they do not like.
It a really good book for young readers and children. It funny as well. It quite a cutie book and really enjoy it. Paddy goes for adventure and to find out where and what happens at the end you should read the book. The pictures are good for children that can not read for it quite entering along with it being a chapter book style.

The story
A revisit from my childhood
I haven't read this book since a child, and I can safely say that I think I may have even enjoyed it more the second time around.
An easy to read but enchanting story about another world, lovable characters, and a very compelling read.
I would definitely recommend this to any child, and to any adult who read it as a child and even those who didn't. Whether or not this is your normal style of book, I think that this is a book that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime 😊
