ClareR (5686 KP) rated This Brutal House in Books

I had high hopes for this book, but I really don’t think that I “got” it. As it was all written in the third person, I struggled to work out who some chapters were about until I was a good way into them. And considering the subject matter, the ballroom culture, the missing children, it was just quite uninspiring. Perhaps I’m just not the target audience for this book. Actually, I DON’T agree with this. I was really keen to read a book about Drag culture and to learn something from it, and to some degree, I did. I just wish there had been a bit more “oomph”. Even the scene with the gun barely raised a gasp from me - it was more of a “but why?” Maybe I missed the motivation. I don’t know. This book has a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews on Goodreads, which just goes to show that what doesn’t work for one person works really well for another. I’m glad I tried it though.

Sismidngt (3 KP) rated Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep?: A Neuroscientific View of the Zombie Brain in Books

Pure neuroscience!
This book is a fantastic view into the neuroscience behind zombies. It explains the how's, whys, and reasons that this pop culture monster could exist.
This is not watered down. If neuroscience is not your thing you won't enjoy this book. It uses highly technical jargon that might confuse people not versed in this topic.
With that said I enjoyed this book. It had the right amount of braiiins to keep me satisfied.

Very good idea, at times a little tedious
This is a well-written, dialogue based novel, constructed coherently highlighting the theme of gang culture in the UK and the pitfalls of being surrounded by it. While the premise of this novel is superb, after a while the protagonist's monologue becomes a little tedious and I ended up losing focus. It's heartfelt, no doubt, understanding the circumstances of how he ended up in the dock. Good idea but falls a little short.

Carbon copy
The did not very hard to make anything original with this film at all.
The acting and production values of the film are descent, but it is an almost 100% retread of the first film. They could've at least tried to show us something new like maybe the origins of the critters and/or more about their lifestyles. Maybe something about their culture, social interactions or even mating habits! All we got was to see their toilet.
Disappointing.

Surprisingly amazing!
My whole family watched this movie and loved it. The concept was well developed, and the visual effects were joyful to watch. My husband and I loved all the old pop culture references, while my 11 year old loved the things he could identify. This movie flowed so well that we were shocked that 110 minutes had passed so quickly.
Since seeing this movie my son has started reading the book, which is amazing, as he hates reading.

Mar 9, 2018
A 17-year-old's death springboards reporter Eve Diamond into the culture of the parachute kids who come to America for an education. But who wanted to kill the teenage girl? The characters are great, however they are under served by a plot that wanders all over the place. I was done with it long before I reached the end.
