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.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Where Loyalties Lie(MidKnight Blue Series #3) in Books
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.
Dean (6926 KP) rated Notting Hill (1999) in Movies

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.
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated AC/DC: Album by Album in Books
Apr 10, 2018
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.
AT (1676 KP) rated Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Vol 1: The Crucible in Books
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.

Surprisingly amazing!
My whole family watched this movie and loved it. The concept was well developed, and the visual effects were joyful to watch. My husband and I loved all the old pop culture references, while my 11 year old loved the things he could identify. This movie flowed so well that we were shocked that 110 minutes had passed so quickly.
Since seeing this movie my son has started reading the book, which is amazing, as he hates reading.

Miguel Covarrubias (143 KP) rated Dark Matter in Books

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the entire concept and how it played by its own rules to the very end. I loved it's treatment of the "What if?" concept and the idea of branching realities. The characters were engaging and realistic. The Protagonist makes real decisions which leads to real consequences, well real within the rules of the book. The world building was very well done. I'm encouraged to look into more of Crouch's work due to this book!

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Seducing Abby Rhodes in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book by this author that I've read and it. won't be the last. This story is the perfect mix of romance, suspense with a hint of paranormal. The characters are really well written and so sweet in there interactions. This book has some intense hot and steamy scenes which work well within the story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
