Mothergamer (1619 KP) rated Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds in Video Games
Dec 5, 2017
A fantastic DLC added to an already great game. New machines and a new area to explore add some fantastic depth to the story. There's new armor and weapons also. The story itself is good and you get 15 hours of amazing game play. The main character Aloy is as endearing as ever as well as smart. The new characters that are introduced are interesting as well. I enjoyed it a lot.

Cutesy but boring
Critic review by Tom Huddleston - Timeout
Read full review: https://www.timeout.com/london/film/the-boss-baby
‘The Boss Baby’ is one of those snarky, post ‘Shrek’ cartoons that desperately wants to appeal to parents as well as kids, but its snappy, pop-culture-referencing script feels workshopped to death (there’s a running joke about Gandalf that’s bafflingly unfunny). Undemanding kids might get a kick out of its jazzy, restless visual style and poo jokes, but grown-ups may well find themselves taking some impromptu nap time.

[The Young World} by [Chris Weitz] is a well written post apocalyptic story with a twist. All adults are die in a plague leaving the young to survive for themselves it becomes very much like [Lord of the Flies]. Also as the young people become a certain age they contract the plague that killed the adults. When they find that this plague was man made they fight to find the cure and save their friends and themselves.
This book was enjoyable and a quick read. It fits very well in a very popular YA genre.

[Dystopia] by [Janet McNulty] is a modern version of [1984] and example of when good intentions get caught up in greed and people are too lazy to care. The characters were very well developed as well as their relationships. The whole idea struck me as what people in the old Soviet Union must have felt like. (I am a history nerd.) I feel the message is that no matter what if people are apathetic they will lose what means the most to them and sometimes standing up for what is right can be really hard.

Well what an unexpected book with a great ending! Abuse is a very touchy subject to write about fiction or not & Maggie did a great job delving into the mind of someone who had been abused as a child. It was a fast paced read that was just the right amount of twisted while still being quite believable at the same time. Mavy is a fascinating character...she seems so fragile & wears that mask well. But deep down inside she's a time bomb hiding behind a flour covered apron.

I gamed away whole afternoons playing this game. The immersion is wonderful, as well as the storyline. I really enjoyed sending out separate parties to do quests from the war table and then seeing their process/changes in the world as I was questing. There's quite a bit of re-play value, as you can choose what class your character can play as well as who you form a romantic relationship with and what classes your team members will be.

Good young cast
Very funny
You'll float too
Shockingly I've not read the book but do remember the '90 version shown on TV. Some parts are true to the original and there is a lot of new stuff as well. There does seem to be nods to other Stephen King works as well, like Carrie and Stand by me which is a nice touch for fans.
The young cast are excellent and Pennywise genuinely creepy. I wouldn't say it's scary but does have a creepy atmosphere and surprisingly very funny!

With beautiful illustrations and interesting subject matter, this book is a win-win with curious children. and although it is quite short, it fills a child with wonder and lets them take in what they want before progressing to more challenging reading material. With appropriate technical language used, this book would be good in a school library and would work well for project work as well as curious individuals.
I am reviewing this book for Luann Columbo, Quarto Publishing, and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.

fantastic read
This is the third book in this series by this author. This book has the perfect mixture of sweet and sexy. The characters are really well written and you will feel connected to both of them. This is a marriage of convenience between the characters. This book is easy to read, flows really well, has some action and loads of steam. I can't wait to read more from this author and this series in the future.
Highly recommended series
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Paul Rudd
Stephen Chbosky is a Genius.
A very sweet, coming of age film with a bitter twist at the end.
Logan Lerman is a very believable actor and from the beginning I am on his side, to do well, to succeed in love and life. I would have loved to be Charlie's friend.
Emma Watson in my opinion, is perfection personified. She plays Sam very well.
Paul Rudd plays Mr Anderson - and he is a shining star in this already amazing cast, downplayed and lovable.
