Ross (3284 KP) rated Monopoly in Tabletop Games

The best way to ruin friendships
The classic monopoly game really brings out the worst in people, as the need to keep giving the same person money repeatedly becomes very frustrating. When playing with kids, I have found we have to agree that once someone has bought the first property of a group, nobody can buy the rest. Without such rules anarchy would reign.
The game takes quite a long time to play and technically only ends when someone runs out of money and properties completely, which can take days.
Not really enjoyable but an excellent concept (the junior version is much better).

Erika (17789 KP) rated the PlayStation 3 version of Tekken 6 in Video Games
Jun 17, 2018
The first game I always purchase when I have a Playstation, is Tekken. I played the crap out of Tekken 2 on the PS when I was a kid. So, when I purchased a PS3, Tekken 6 was the first game I purchased and played. Tekken is an excellent fighting game with a large variety of characters. Nina is probably my favorite, and always has been.
The only gripe I have is the skimpy clothing on the females, like legit a chick wouldn't fight in some bikini thing. But, that's a gripe I have with all female video game characters.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Strike - The Cuckoo's Calling - Season 1 in TV
Jul 14, 2018
Well made adaptation
I love Robert Galbraith’s (J. K. Rowling’s) novels and was very excited when I found out they were adapting it for tv. That excitement bittered a bit when I learned each “season” would only be 2-3 episodes long and would cover an entire book. There is a lot of material in the rich and detailed novels that would have lent themselves to a full length season. That being said, the show was very good. The casting, in my opinion, is excellent. I wish there was more!

Lots of replayability
Our New Favorite Party Game
If you have ever played Codenames and wished that it was a little more in-depth, Decrypto will be an excellent game for your group.
The game revolves around attempting to communicate a code to your group, without letting the other group "decrypt" your code. The concept is simple, but the execution is great.
I will warn that it can be a little confusing to learn, just based off of the instruction manual. But once you have 1 person that knows how to play, it's pretty easy to teach others.

For the majority of this book I was clueless as to what had happened and who had done what to who! But that is a good thing! It was only in the last few chapters that everything did finally come together and it was done very well. Loved the back and forth between the 90’s, 2016, 2018, diary entries and emails. Even with all the back and forth, it was easy to follow and did a great job of keeping the story moving while ramping up the tension.
An excellent debut thriller that will have you checking those shadows!

Their original content is getting better and better. See classic movies and shows or new release. Depending on the show/channel watch as soon as the season ends on cable. The selection is so large there is something for everyone. I’ve been a subscriber since 2007 when I had the 3 discs at a time membership. I have never been disappointed or had any issues. I love that they pick up cancelled shows and stick with the same cast and crew. They do the fans proud. They also revamp old shows.
Alice (12 KP) rated Dragonship in Books
Jul 3, 2018
Without a doubt, the easiest five stars I can give a book. This short standalone novelette about wild dragons and mounted ships is to die for; with a interesting and unique concept with a distinctly piratey feel.
Eloquently written with a great set of characters. Those on the gundeck named as numbers - my opinion named as when they arrived.
The Gellborn elites above deck are focused around Beln and Fustian - Fustian a sadistic ass and Beln our heroine of the hour with more morals than she should and a newfound bond with the Red.
Excellent. J.P. Can I have more?!

Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated The Captive (2014) in Movies
Jul 28, 2018
Found this one on Netflix. It stars Ryan Reynolds, Scott Speedman and Rosario Dawson. It's a movie about a couple whose daughter is kidnapped by a group of people who like to watch children online being abused. The game her for 8yrs and use her to lure other children online to meet them. This movie is an excellent crime drama. They don't show anything graphic but there's mild violence and cursing. I would say kids could watch this to see the dangers of meeting strangers on line. All around the acting, cinematography and storyline are great. This one is really worth a watch!
Alicia S (193 KP) rated Devil Smoke (Butcher Boys #5) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
Awesome book! I was new to the series but knew this could be read as a standalone. After this, I'll surely be going back for more! Really loved the characters.. Bronx was a sweetheart and I loved Ryan to death.. tough as nails and determined to find out the truth about her past, she lives numb for years trying to get close enough to the one person who can tell her the truth. What she finds out is nothing like she ever expected. Excellent writing with an interesting storyline that just drags you in from the start!
I bought this book while on holiday in Queensland because I had finished my other one, I am a huge YA fan, and it was relatively inexpensive. I am so glad that I did. I pretty much devoured the novel over the course of one day because I was so hooked. Besides being minorly predictable to those of us who have read their fair share of YA fiction, Holland did an excellent job of blending just the right amount of romance and adventure to keep me wanting to read more. I can't wait to read the next book.
