Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Divergent in Books
Jul 10, 2018
I am a little upset that it took me this long to read this novel. I read too many reviews stating that it was Hunger Games 2.0 but it isn't. I'm a fan of dystopian lit. This is definitely dyshtopian. It will have the same feel as Hunger Games but it is different.
I really liked this book. It was fast paced, well written for a young adult novel, and truly entertaining. I wish I had more time over the Christmas holiday to read more. This is easily a novel I could have finished within a day where I didn't have familial obligations.
If you're hesitant to read this novel, I suggest that you pick it up.

MY (82 KP) rated Calling Mrs Christmas in Books
Oct 3, 2017
For me personally, I found the obvious research for characters and locations and consequence details used within the book, made it even more appealing and heartfelt to read and certainly added to my overall enjoyment and high rating for Calling Mrs Christmas.
This is a book I could read again and again and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a festive read with some fun-filled, heartwarming Christmas spirit.
Andy K (10823 KP) rated National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) in Movies
Jun 21, 2018
Everyone's favorite adventurous family embarks on their inaugural journey together to go see Wallyworld in California and encounters creepy annoying relatives and all sorts of unsavory characters along the way.
I once had a long discussion with someone about which was better, the first Vacation or Christmas Vacation, this one being my favorite of the bunch. The family dynamic on the open road, for me, was slightly more entertaining than Christmas at home with the relatives which is also still a lot of fun.
Seemed like a liked the introduction of Randy Quaid, John Candy, Christy Brinkley and Imogeen Coca and just thought it was a lot of fun waiting to see what happened next.

David McK (3623 KP) rated The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) in Movies
Dec 28, 2024
Not as in the characters are nearly all played by Muppets.
Michael Caine, also, does a pretty good Scrooge, playing it as serious as a heart attack whilst the usual Muppety mayhem goes on around him - Kermit the Frog is Bob Cratchitt, Miss Piggy (of course) Mrs Cratchitt, whilst Gonzo provides the narration (as Charles Dickens) alongside Rizzo the rat.
The tale itself, of the ghosts who visit Scrooge on Christmas Eve (most famously the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future), and convince him to change his ways, is timeless.
