Sue (5 KP) rated Walk a Crooked Line in Books

Aug 13, 2018

A young girl is found at the base of an old water tower deemed a suicide and Detective Jo Larsen is put on the case. What brought this girl to this place and caused her to end young life; abuse, neglect, bullying, loneliness, and/or depression. Upon further investigation through interviews with family and friends, Jo and her partner Hank try to put the pieces together and find that something horrible happened to Kelly causing her to take the fatal plunge.

In this well-written book by author Susan McBride, she draws you into a story about a girl that was failed by those that were supposed to look out for her and take care of her. It brings to light a factor that many young people face today concerning bullying, loneliness, and trying to fit in. Through the character of Jo, you see the story unfold as she investigates and discovers the parallels between her own childhood and that of the young girl she is investigating.

New update: having to enchant buildings takes way too long!

I started playing this game within the first few months of its release and i have been addicted to it ever since! Follow the story lines and you find yourself welcoming a range of disney characters and rides to your park while getting to design your park however you please!
Alot of characters in this game howeverare limited time event characters who can only be obtained through chests (costing real money) or if they're part of a tower event.
New update: with the latest update (roughly 12th aug 2019) you now have to enchant rides throughout your park for them to drop tokens. This is more difficult than it seems due to obtaining the tokens needed to enchant these buildings are pretty much none exsistant! I really hope DMK address this in the future!

This week All the Bright Places was released on Netflix. Of course I watched it on the first night! I dont know if I built it up on my head, but I was a bit disappointed with the film in comparison to the book (but I suppose most book readers would say that about the following film). The acting was really good and I couldn't fault it. I feel like the feelings involved in both of the main characters issues weren't portrayed as well as they could have, I am very aware of how sensitive and difficult this could be. As always it is disappointing when small parts change: clocktower to bridge; tower to train carriage. I think if you were watching this not having read the book recently this would be a thoroughly enjoyable film. After all the cinegraphics were great. Some of the locations were beautiful. And the soundtrack was nice.
