Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Death Rejoices (The Marnie Baranuik Files #2) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
4.5 stars.
I still love this series.
Witty, paranormal, adventure/mysteries with Marnie and the team. If you haven't read this series yet and like the sound of it, I definitely recommend you buy it.
Long but oh, so good.
P.S. I'm still holding out for a Mark Batten/Marnie Baranuik full on romance--maybe possibly with Harry not minding sharing her or not in the frame at all, though I can't see that happening. Maybe in book three which I am dying to buy!

Brilliant series
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is a re-read for me! After finishing 13th Grave there was only ever one option and that was to start from the beginning! I can't really put into words how much I love this series. It's funny , witty with great characters. I love Charlie and her ways! Darynda Jones is just brilliant I have read this one a little slower than I originally did I wanted to go over everything I knew again and take it all in properly. Highly recommended.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Home (Myron Bolitar #11) in Books
Jul 27, 2017
Slick, intelligent thriller with a lot of twists
It's been a while since I've a genuinely coherent thriller. The characters are fabulous, two guys, one secretly in love with the other, just attempting to find and understand the disappearance of two boys. There is twist after twist, but while there is zero character development, the plot is enough to keep listening. It's slightly different to the current theme of 'neurotic woman finds killer' story. It is also very witty in places and extremely dark. A thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette in Music
Sep 6, 2017
Literally one of the best 90's albums there are
This is one of my soundtracks to the 1990s. From Ironic to Head Over Feet, every song is lyrically superb, and the music is essential for any avid listener of the indie rock genre. Alanis Morrisette is one of a kind and a pioneer at the same time, she's nonchalant and never played up to to the hypersexualisation of female artists. She's also witty and kick-ass so it's hardly surprising she played god in the cult film Dogma. Much love to this female idol.

Disappointing after Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one my favourite Pixar films ever, hence I was looking forward to its sequel. Unfortunately it falls short by a massive margin, as it ends up gearing towards a much younger audience.
The biggest charm of FN was the fact that it was universal, however, this film was all over the place, trying too hard to be as witty and heartfelt as the first. The action sequences were not as clever and the humour wasn't as comedic as before. Disappointed to say the least.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Mortal Engines in Books
Apr 5, 2019
Mostly whimsical science-fantasy from possibly the world's most widely-read author in the genre. The majority of these stories are cybernetic folk-tales about robot kings, knights, princesses, and so on, having various unlikely experiences: the tales are droll but also highly imaginative and witty. Also included are a couple of longer, more serious stories - one about a man hunting a robot, the other about a robot hunting a man - no prejudice here, to paraphrase the translator. Well-written and entertaining, gives a sense of Lem's range as an author.
