BookInspector (124 KP) rated Circus Maximus: Race to the Death in Books
Jul 1, 2021
The narrative of this book was very fast-paced and very intriguing. There were plenty of turns and unexpected surprises, that I thoroughly enjoyed. This book talks about four factions/teams: Green (everyoneâs favourite), Blue (biggest Greenâs competitor), White and Red (these teams were the least mentioned in this book). I have to say, that I am a supporter of the Blue faction. đ There are plenty of reasons but if I will tell, it will spoil the reading experience. The topics discussed in this book are chariot racing, cheating in sports, gender power playing, mental health issues, very slight romance, animal cruelty and many more.
I was a little scared to read this book because when I saw the character listing at the beginning of the book, I thought that there will be a very wide variety of characters and I will have difficulty knowing who is who. But I was very wrong indeed. This book is beautifully written and very easy to read. The chapters have medium length, but they just flew by for me, I was very absorbed with this story. I have to throw in a warning, that this book contains animal cruelty, so if anyone is like me, tears and anger will be happening while reading. The ending of this novel rounded this story very nicely, and I can not wait for the next book in this series.
So, to conclude, the protagonist of this story is very likeable, and I was cheering her all the way till the end. All the characters in this book are very well crafted and delivered, and the plot of this book is fast-paced and absorbing.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Beauty and the Beast (2017) in Movies
Apr 14, 2017
Original rating: 3 out of 4
Full review: https://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/movies/remake-of-beauty-and-the-beast-convincingly-springs-to-life/2017/03/16/9022737c-05bf-11e7-ad5b-d22680e18d10_story.html?utm_term=.dd812aa47337
Excerpt:
This âBeauty and the Beastâ isnât predicated on starry-eyed romance or animal attraction, but the solace of mutual loss and understanding, which makes it all the sweeter. Although the Beast is an entirely digital creation, based in part on Jean Cocteauâs groundbreaking 1946 film, Stevens imbues his hauteur and fanged hostility with pathos and arch humor. Joining HeathÂcliff and Mr. Rochester as yet another handsome dude in a bad mood, Stevensâs Beast provides the right kind of foil for Watsonâs spirited, courageous heroine, who in one of two seriously frightening sequences fights off a snarling pack of wolves. The blink-and-youâll-miss-it meet-cute moment for two gay characters is part of this âBeauty and the Beastâsâ larger sense of expansiveness, wherein exteriors fall away, inner essences come to the fore and true love ensues.
And what in this big, boffo, ball-gowned world could be wrong with that?

Andy K (10821 KP) rated Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) in Movies
Apr 27, 2019 (Updated Apr 27, 2019)
After a volcano spews hot lava and ash on the original Jurassic island, humanity is left with the choice whether to save the prehistoric beasts or let them become extinct again maybe as it was supposed to be.
One of John Hammond's original partners is involved in trying to relocate several species from the dying island to a new home where they can be free of tourists and left to live their lives out in peace. Of course evil animal poachers seeking to weaponize the ferocious beasts intervene and only Chris Pratt (overrated) and Bryce Dallas Howard (not sure if she wore high heels the entire film this time) are here to stop them.
Not enough new material here to keep the film exciting and fresh. The same people running, getting eaten, etc is present here and I was bored.
Some cool visuals during the first half with our heroes trying to escape the volcanic habitat were compelling, however, the second half was way too predictable and not very exciting.
This franchise should now become extinct.

Paul Smedley (141 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Stardew Valley in Video Games
Jul 12, 2018
Itâs a super chilled out game with the ability to craft, level up, build, farm and interact with NPCs in a variety of quests and side missions.
If you are a fan of games such as Harvest Moon, Terraria, Minecraft, Animal crossing, etc. then this is a must for your collection.
My only down point is the fact that the days donât last long in game so if you are away from your house late at night and donât get back in time, you pass out and lose some money; especially if you get carried away mining!
Itâs got a hell of a lot to complete so it wonât be a game that you complete in a day, week or even a month.
Itâs usually always on sale, particularly on the Playstation store so youâll be able to get it for an amazing price.
Give it a try but be warned, once you get into the mechanics of the game, you SHALL be addicted!
