Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Every Day (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
A shy teenager falls for someone who transforms into another person every day.
David Levithan knows how to write around good subject matter. Consistently pleasing novels that make excellent movies. And this one was no exception to that.
The feel good factor about this one is high. And while I love a good romance I find it difficult to believe that even a hormonal teenager would choose to believe such a wild story.
"I wake up every morning in someone else's body." A plot point with lots of potential story lines. But lots that I think I would have enjoyed more than this. That fact doesn't take away that I enjoyed this a lot.
A film with no end and no beginning though... why are you guys doing this to me? Where was the origin story? Where was some resolution?

Xabier Rey (42 KP) rated the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII in Video Games
Apr 27, 2019 (Updated Apr 28, 2019)
Most disappointing game I've ever played in my life. Having played all 3 FFs on PSX and right after playing and loving Lost Odyssey on Xbox 360, I borrowed this game and bought FF XIII-2 at a reasonable price. FF XIII-2 is the only game I own and haven't even started. And I own quite a bit.
I've played around 75% of the game but couldn't stand it anymore. I mean it. If you call yourself a gamer, this is an insult to your intelligence. I literally played an important part of it WITH ONE HAND. It's either walk the corridor or spam A in combat. It chooses the best combat option for you... Are you kidding? Why would I want the game to choose for me instead of playing it?
Oh, almost forgot! It has inventory. Don't bother, you can rush through most part of the game without ever changing any object.

Lindsay (1693 KP) rated A Cousin's Promise (Indiana Cousins, #1) in Books
Feb 15, 2018 (Updated Sep 13, 2019)
A Cousin Promise is done well. I know I read this way before starting my book blog. I really did enjoy this. This book is about Loraine and Wayne. Will Loraine keep her promise? Though Wayne seem to have had accident and was left crippled.
Will Wayne see is way and hold on to his happiness? I really can not remember much it been that long ago. If I ever do re-read this book again I truly hope it as good as the first I read it. I do not see why it would not be.
I remember some of it story and plot. I know that it was written well. I did enjoy the story none the less. Will Wayne be able to get over his struggles and look to god and faith. Will Loraine be able to get over her rejection with gods help? What will happen once Loraine old boyfriends returns? Who will Loraine choose to love and marry?

Cori June (3033 KP) rated Secondhand Souls (Grim Reaper #2) in Books
Oct 4, 2021
This book picks up a year after the last book ends. If you haven't read the first book it would help but you don't have too, although you might be a little confused about the Squirrel People. (If you choose to read "A Dirty Job", go ahead and read "Coyote Blue" too)
I dislike the main character, Charlie, a bit in this, he's a bit of a prick in this book even if it is slightly understandable it is annoying.
I admit I came quite close to throwing the book across the room and if I said why I'd have to hit the spoiler button.
A good read that has some witty moments but is a little more meandering than his other books. I read it on vacation so I was able to easily pick it up and put it down without getting confused or losing my spot.
All in all a good book but not his best.
