Intriging view of the future of technology
A bit geeky
Awesome Read
One of the best books ive read in a long time. I could barely put it down.
The continuous 80s pop culture references blend in effortlessly with the future in this book. The story was truely engaging and the take on yechnology and human interaction is not unbelievable.

Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor, Vol. 1: A Matter of Life and Death in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Individually the stories found in this volume are standard fare, good but not overly engaging. The arc they tell is also fine, just not outstanding. Which is a shame because the final segment is outstanding, but it comes as the capstone to a mostly alright endeavor. George Mann has a great grasp of the Eighth Doctor however, and it's worth reading for his "voice" if nothing else.

Flimsy story, almost comedic
While this story was extremely engaging for its genre and content, it started off with the mystery of a psychological thriller and ended up becoming like a 1970's hammer horror. It couldn't hold itself in the end and the description of the "thing" reminded me of a Sam Raimi style boring gorefest. A bit of a disappointment after 14 hours of listening.

A cautionary tale of mob mentality
This is absolutely tragic. The last few scenes remind me of Frankenstein. This mystery novel surrounds a quirky young woman, her older agoraphobic sister Constance, their disabled uncle and an enigmatic cousin. They have a rather hideous family secret that is revealed midway but the reasoning behind it remains unknown. It is a fascinating story, engaging, and straightforward.

Thrilling
If you're into death, blood and guts then this is your film.
It's not as bad as I just made it sound.
You MUST READ THE BOOKS then and only then can you watch the films with the correct mindset.
Beautifully thrilling.
I loved the character and I loved the story. These fiction films are persued well giving they're based on the books. ????

Cried a sea of tears
This story is beautifully written, even with a format that switches between character POVs. I could not put the book down for even a moment. Set around real life events and THE most deadly maritime accident of all time, the characters shine against the dramatic backdrop.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Just Tell Her (Chicago Series #2) in Books
Jun 1, 2018
I am totally loving this series by Nicole Pyland. The characters are engaging and the plot moves well. I will recommend that you read #0 and #1 in the Chicago Series before reading this book. It can stand alone but is so much better when you know all of it, especially to understand the relationship at the center of the story. Looking forward to book #3.

Faultless acting
I remember finishing the PS3 version and being in awe. Just recently replayed the remaster. Is hard to improve on perfection but it brings the graphics up well.
What a masterpiece. Never has a game brought me to tears of both sadness and joy. An incredible journey of emotion and heart pounding action. Do yourself a favour and play it.
