Kaileb Bryant (3 KP) rated The Karamazov Brothers in Books

An interesting but not easy read
As a lover of Victorian literature, I wanted to delve in to what the Russians were writing at the time, and where better to start than with the hugely loved Dostoyevsky. This novel is incredibly long, seconded only by Crime and Punishment. Yet not much really happens to do with the plot. This novel is more about characters and their development, as well as exploring big themes such as religion, crime, justice and family. It's an interesting read, but definitely not one to read before bedtime to relax!
T.N. Nova (30 KP) rated Flaunt (Book 1 of the F-Word Series) in Books

Amazing M/M story
Flaunt by E. Davies is an amazing story of two men overcoming their past, confronting their issues, and falling in love. Nic is a transgender man and Kyle is gender non conforming. Both men have issues in their past that are affecting their present.
E. Davies did amazingly writing this story. While each person reacts to things differently, I loved how the emotions and reactions were so 'real'. I definitely will be revisiting and re-reading this book and will recommend it to others.

Good yet Repetitive
I was looking for something that would allow me to read the Tao Te Ching while providing me some insight on the reading as well. Although this book did allow me to read the Tao Te Ching and provided some insight on the writing, I found that often the insight was simply repeating what was already written in the Tao Te Ching, if not outright repeating them then simply rephrasing what was written. This gave me very little clarity and little insight.

Attempts at recreating original scenes
A good film that does 'The Shining' proud. Sometimes sequals can lack luster but Doctor Sleep earns it's place along side it's predecessor. The soundtrack, cinematography and acting make the film very enjoyable to watch however the script is long winded and there are moments when you wish the film would 'get on with it' as it is a bit slow in some places. If you've got a spare few hours and like Stephan King films then it's worth seeing.

KP system
After seeing an advert for Smashbomb on my Facebook news feed, I was intrigued to download the app. I love reading, watching films and playing games, as well as writing so this really screamed out to me. My partner and I now use this site to make decisions on what TV series we should watch next or what game we should next buy. Furthermore, I love the fact that you can enter giveaways. There are some really cool things on there - here's hoping I get chosen for some!

Surprise
I picked up this book knowing that the series was starting on Netflix. I did not expect to be sucked in and unable to put the book down until I finished three days later nor did I expect to then go out and purchase the rest of the series based solely on the stories and writing of the first book. it is a relatively easy read but still full of interesting characters and stories and I'm looking forward to seeing them fleshed out further.

Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely beautifully written book! Not my usual go to read but after hearing reviews via a book club, I thought I'd give it a go. Wow! I dont think I've even read such a vivid book. Every description, it was as if I could open my eyes and be a part of the story. Truly wonderful and one I'll keep hold of forever so I can return for a visit whenever I like.

Strange setting
Try hard
Hmmm....
This was not the book for me unfortunately. I found the main character Flavia very unbelievable. She was wise beyond her years and seemed to flirt with older men at the age of 12. I felt like this tried to mirror some of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing but just really missed the mark (for me). The plot was quite obvious aswell. Surprised that it has some considerable accolades.
