Book Rating

Celaena was just what I liked in a character; bad arse, beautiful and someone who gives as good as she gets.

The cover is great and grabs your attention but at the same time slightly deceiving (it was what put me off buying it for so long) as it makes the book look so fantasy-esque when in fact, it's about a young (blonde) girl who rediscovers her femininity while kicking other guys arses in Tests she has to go through to become the King's Assassin, while at the same time trying to unearth an evil force.

This was an adventure, with high and lows and awww's and ewww's and I was hooked from the very first page.

The romance aspect caught me up in it too, though I think I'm 100% in Chaol's court.

Looking forward to reading Crown of Midnight now to see what happens next!

You Better Watch Out

Christmas Evil- is a psychlogical horror film that tells the story of a tramaic Harry who was tramaist as a child. He witness santa claus, so he believes is santa claus making out. Now as Harry as grown man goes around dressing up as santa claus and starts killing people.

This reminds me so much of Joker. Think about it. A trama man who is insane, crazy and dress up and starts killing people. What really ticks off a human being. It takes a deep drive into the psychological espect of what makes a man go mad. He's trying to live a normal life but society/the world that he is living in is saying no.

During production, the film had the working title Santa. Originally titled You Better Watch Out, also known as Terror in Toyland.

Its a excellent film.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Open Minds (Mindjack Series, #1) in Books

Sep 5, 2019

3.25 stars.

I think I actually enjoyed the first half of the book more than the second. Kira learning what she was and what she could do, how she grew into her abilities. The second half, the sort of government side of it, I wasn't so bothered about. Good overtaking evil is always nice but I wasn't interested in that aspect of this story.

It was an interesting concept, something I'd not read before and something that kept me reading. Everyone talks and interact using their minds and touching is something rather sacred as the emotions that are exchanged can be very overwhelming and intimate.

It intrigued me into wondering where the author would take it and I was a little disappointed by the government wanting a piece of them. It seemed kinda cliché but at the same time it was quite good.

I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

The latest (I think, and at the time of writing) in Disney's reimagining of their classic films (see also: Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, etc …) , with this one being a mix of live action and CGI and also - to the best of my knowledge - not actually even released in cinemas, but instead being a Disney+ exclusive even before the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.

Sticking pretty faithfully to the same beats as the animated original - spoiled Cocker Spaniel, Street Dog, the famous Spaghettis scene (which I can't watch now without thinking of the version with Santa's Little Helper in The Simpsons) - this nonetheless does slightly change parts of the story, with the most noticeable (to me) being the Siamese Cats, who here have a completely new song but are still responsible for Lady ending up on the streets (see, I told you: all Cats are evil!).
