Not too much dwelling on back story
As with the other series on Netflix (more notably Jesse Jones), I felt this series was a little dragged out to the agreed 13 episodes.
The story is good with Luke playing the underdog well, and the different setting of Harlem worked well.
My favourite moment was in the flashback after Luke escaped from Seagate prison and ended up dressed like the 70s comic equivalent for a brief moment

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Last Man Out: The Story of the Springhill Mine Disaster in Books
Jan 12, 2018
This is a compelling story of miners who were trapped underground. In [Last Man Out] [Melissa Fay Greene] does an excellent job of capturing the emotions of those trapped as well as the families above ground. She also connects the political and economic climate of the time by telling the story of how these Canadian miners ended up connected to Georgia's fight for tourist dollars and caught experiencing segregation first hand. This is an emotional and well told story on many levels.

May 1, 2018
I love the way Hancock writes and how well developed her characters are but this installment in the MidKnight Blue series seemed to lack the usual drive. All the amazing characters were there and I understand they are in flux. Just this book seemed more like an interlude than a truely developed story. Doesn't make it a bad book by any means just the plot was not as well driven as Hancock's other books although the chracters were still amazing.

Decent adaptation
This movie followed the book as well as can be expected considering it was a "made for TV" min-series comprised of two separate parts. Characters were explored as much as possible in the time frame given but the world isn't nearly as well developed as it is in the book. Like any amazing book brought to film many vital pieces get left behind, but the heart of the story is still captured.

At last I've finally seen it, more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm not a fan of Hugh Grant, seems he can only play the upper class, bumbling English idiot in all his films, which becomes annoying. I can see why this is so well liked by some. It does have some quirky British humour and a witty script. However it's way too long and typically cheesy as well. Not bad but personally think there are much better Rom-coms out there.

A comprehensive guide to AC/DC, the author Martin Popoff has succeeded in producing yet another work that is both engaging to the occasional listener of the group as well as the more hardened fan. Accompanied with images from throughout the group's long history, there is plenty to look at and read as well as having on your shelf or coffee table to reference during those late night "discussions" with friends over a drink or three. Recommended for the fan.

Feb 14, 2019 (Updated Feb 14, 2019)
I held off on reading this for quite awhile, because I just didn't feel like I'd be into it. I watched Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, back whenever that was on TV. As silly and lighthearted as that was, I didn't think that it would work as a horror story. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a huge horror fan, but this has decent potential to work well as one. The story was written well, and I look forward to reading volume 2.
