Erika (17789 KP) rated Macbeth in Books
Apr 11, 2018
I was psyched when I read that Jo Nesbo was doing a take on Macbeth for Hogarth. After reading this, I feel a little ambivalent. Normally, I love everything he writes, but this one was extremely slow. I think that a lot of my neither here nor there feeling has to do with the original source material, rather than Nesbo's take on it.
The setting of the 1970s really worked, and I did really like the characterization of Macbeth. I was glad that it was relatively true to the original play to the end.
I received an ARC from Penguin's First to Read in exchange for an unbiased review.

AT (1676 KP) rated The Punisher - Season 2 in TV
Feb 2, 2019
I love the Punisher! I loved season 1. We just finished binging season 2, which I also liked a lot. However, without giving spoilers, it had a completely different feel than the first season. There were a couple of elements in the second season that I could have done without, or at least with changes, but overall, I still fully enjoyed it. I'm glad the show didn't get cancelled the way some of the other Marvel shows on Netflix did. However, if it does at this point, I would still feel like things had been completed. Hopefully they'll throw a third season at us, though!

Not just for kids!
I'm not interested in the first 2 films, but having kids I've been subjected to watch them. So when they realised the 3rd film was out, obviously we had to go and watch it instantly. But OMG how good?! From start to finish it had such an easy story line to follow. Its got so many life lessons in, such as losing a parent, people having limbs missing, forming friendships and relationships. It's got such a lovely ending. I cried. But then I love a good ending so?♀️ but honestly if you like I feel good cartoon it's worth the wTch
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Sex, Lies & Lingerie (Secrets And Lies #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2019
fantastic start to this series
This is the first book in this series by this author. This author has managed to bring two exceptional characters to lie in this book. You will find yourself lost within the pages as you read. This is a story about sex, lies and lingerie but there is also a love story as well. This book ends in a cliff hanger ending and leaves you wanting more. I can't wait to read more from this author and in this series in the future.
Highly recommended start to the series

Auburn (57 KP) rated The Watcher of the Night Sky in Books
Apr 10, 2019
I don't think I have enough words to describe just how much I enjoyed this book. I choose to read it because the cover was gorgeous and the plot sounded different. Indeed a girl who wishes upon the stars and ends up with a bunch of men madly in love with her.
The plot was well written and kept you guessing as to what was going to happen. As this is only part one it left off on a massive cliff hanger. One that insures if you read the first part you will jump right into getting the second.
For fans of fantasy, romance, and quests.

Perfect? No. Fun? Yes
Contains spoilers, click to show
I absolutely love James Spader voicing Ultron. I wish they would bring him back somehow in another film. He does a great performance and I thought it would be startling as Spader has a very distinct voice. However, he takes the role and makes it his own.
The Bad: the beats are the same as the first Avengers film. There was really nothing new. Characters are introduced to be killed off with no real meaning to their death. Great lines and scenes but not consistent enough to give it a 10/10

This is the first book by this author that I've read and it definitely wont be the last. This book will keep you reading long into the night. This book can be read as a stand alone, I haven't read any other in this series but I'll definitely be going back to read them. The characters are really well written and you just end up falling in love with them as you read. This is an exciting book to read. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Emma (519 KP) rated Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jun 3, 2019
I really enjpyed this book, i have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I don't usually do but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because i enjoyed the storyline and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood as much as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role of him in the movie. My only criticism would be that it is perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series.
Kyera (8 KP) rated A Torch Against the Night (An Ember in the Ashes #2) in Books
Jan 31, 2018
Being a sequel, I can't say much without spoilers but a Torch Against the Night is just as good as its predecessor. We learn more about the djinn and even another world. I continue to be riveted and wish the third book was written already. I've grown to love Laia, Elias and Helene over the course of the two novels and feel for them during their trials/struggles. I was very surprised by some of the things that happened in the book, which was pleasing because that meant it wasn't formulaic and obvious. Highly recommended, but read the first novel in the sreies before you begin this one.
