Ok, this is the first audio book I have listened to for pleasure. I loved the story and the characters were amazing. That is what I am basing my review on. The narrator was good as well just I don't like to listen to books, reminds me too much of work. That said the quirkiness of the character and the banter really makes this story. I really did laugh out quite a bit. I do believe I prefer the voices in my own head though. So, whichever you prefer listen or read pick this book up. It is worth it.

It made me laugh, what can I say
This is not some award winning piece of film, this was meant to be a comedy and it was. I have always been a fan of Goldie Hawn fan, going way back to Overboard and Private Benjamin. Amy Schumer is funny as hell and she makes me laugh. Not the a movie that made me have to pee my pants but it did make me laugh from time to time and I enjoyed the interaction between Hawn and Schumer.
Definitely worth watching if you can catch it streaming.

I expected more from this books. If you have a rat that when he eats books becomes really intelligent and gains the ability to read, I expect more from that rat. However, he just did rat things, questioned life, lived in a book store and then an author's house. I mean, I know rats do not have vocal chords and therefore cannot talk, but what not communicate through a typewriter or soemthing. I feel more could have happened in this story and I was waiting for it to happen, so the ending was rather anticlimatic for me.

I have a hard time playing FPS games, but I took a lot of breaks so I was able to play this game at my own pace. The story is good and I found it interesting. I feel like the game missed out however on not having a campaign. The zombie aspect was cool, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. If you are big into COD games, you'll enjoy it. It's not a terrible game and I did enjoy playing it for what it was, but I feel there's other games out there that offer a little more.

Mothergamer (1562 KP) rated Mortal Kombat (2021) in Movies
Jul 19, 2021
Lots of great action and yes it's a bit light on the story, but it's not completely terrible. It's a fun popcorn movie and if you're a fan of the Mortal Kombat games like me, it's not a bad ride. I did love Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion because he's a really talented actor and he made the role work for him. It was disappointing that there's some characters missing like Johnny Cage, but maybe we'll get to see him in the sequel. If you take it for what it is, pure entertainment it's a good film.

DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!?!
Um, what happend here? Dumbledore. Does. Not. Shout! His insanely calm under pressure attitude is such a trigger for Harry later, and this one ridiculous display of anger undermines a character we have been understanding for three years.
Rushed plot aside (its double the size of the last book!) it feels like it is missing a lot of heart and soul, and elements make no sense.
It was a disappointment to say the least, and compared to the others, I think the weakest one.

The Ending
Good Cast..Stupid Movie
What the hell did i just watch!!.A bizarre and ridiculous movie that made no sense and moved at the equivalent snails pace as the zombies in the film itself.
No laughs,the underlying message of how we have an addiction to material things and a waste of some great actors are the main things you take away from watching this film.Oh and as for the ridiculous conversation between Murrays and Drivers characters at the end when they start discussing the script for the film is just silly beyond words.

Night Reader Reviews (683 KP) rated I Love You Just the Way You Are in Books
Jan 9, 2020
Although there is never a bad time to read to a child I Love You Just The Way You Are by Ghabeba Hurkchand seems to lend itself well to a bedtime book. It may also be good after a child has done something wrong and has been punished or is just feeling bad as a good way to reassure them.
This book takes readers through a bear familys day. The parent bear explains what the cub did and tells that cub that it is loved anyway. It starts out with being grumpy in the morning and tired in the afternoon. It even talks about when leaving home for the day becomes too much for some children. The book finally ends with the parent holding the two cubs and telling them I love you forever. It is hard to accurately describe this book, but I highly recommend it.
What I liked best is that all children can be difficult at times and the events in this book are extremely accurate. This book is very specific on things such as not understanding why a child did something, yet reassures them that they are loved. There really is not anything I did not like about this book.
Although children can read this book themselves the content feels more geared towards parents reading it to there children. While I recommend this to all parents some have children that are a little more moody than others and would probably benefit from this book the most. No matter what the age every child should hear how much they are loved daily. I give this book a 4 out of 4 rating. This book is just perfect for reading to children. It touches on very real subjects for children (young) to doubt themselves. The text is also very short and keeps children from getting bored which easily happens.
