Merissa (12051 KP) rated Moon Bound: Ceithin (Aurelia Fridell #1.5) in Books
Apr 6, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
This is the perfect companion to Fractured Moon but it won't make any sense unless you've read Fractured Moon first.
This is Ceithin's side of the story, of when Aura was kidnapped and tortured. You will learn how he coped and dealt with the situation, the anguish and the torment of knowing his mate was gone and there was nothing he could do to help. You will also hear more about family and how they coped, especially Ville as he tried to deal without his bond with Aura. Although I already knew what happened to Aura because of reading the first book, the telling of Ceithin's story still managed to bring a tear to my eye.
Recommended for everyone who has read Fractured Moon.

David McK (3422 KP) rated Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales in Books
Jan 30, 2019
One of the classics of English literature, this short story is also by the same author who wrote "Treasure Island" (amongst others).
What I found interesting, though, is in how Mr Hyde is described within: unlike the malformed gaint monstrosity that is familiar form TV and film, Hyde is actually described as younger than Jekyll and of a lesser stature, while still projecting an aura of evil.

ClareR (5721 KP) rated The Chateau in Books
Oct 19, 2021
Nick and Aura have moved from the UK to France, to escape from some mystery event that has happened in their past. And quite honestly, the Chateau they buy is like something out of The Money Pit (I’m showing my age here!). I should start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed this, BEFORE I say that the crumbling chateau was a pretty accurate metaphor for the state of their relationship. ANd try as I might, I found myself rooting for their sticky end, in whatever way it would come (I do so love to hate the main characters of a book!!). Nick and Aura are those stereotypical Brits who move to a foreign country without speaking the language, and never really learn how to speak it when they’re there - not that they’re given much of a chance.
Their small ex-pat community is full of the rich, spoilt and slightly/ very depraved.
Information about Nick and Aura is dished out in flashbacks, and I didn’t know who to feel the most sorry for. Oh hang on, I did. It was the children. To have parents like these *shakes head*.
There are so many twists and turns that you won’t know who to trust - right up to the Big Ending, and oh! How I loved it!
I think in the end, everyone got just what they deserved.
Highly recommended!
And many thanks (once again)to The Pigeonhole for continuing to help me with my NetGalley reading!

Andrew Furlong (14 KP) rated Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (1986) in Movies
Sep 27, 2017
An absolutely ridiculous premise, turned into an actually good film (4 more)
Lots of "funny fish out of water" comedy
Every character gets their moment to shine
The whale probe has an aura of mystery about it
Infectiously upbeat
Not as thematically engaging as previous films (2 more)
May be too light for some
Saavik is dropped randomly
The funniest Trek
"The one with the whales" might seem ridiculous at first glance, but it's played with such sincerity and heart from the cast that it becomes genuinely funny and endearing. A great crowdpleaser.
