Stephanie Neve (104 KP) rated The Tattooist of Auschwitz in Books
Jun 23, 2019
An extremely interesting read to be taken with a pinch of salt
Lale's story as a jew who's job it was to tattoo new inmates at Auschwitz is a very interesting one. He has a unique perspective of life at the concentration camp, as his job allowed him a level of status not experienced by others of his background. The story however is quite dry at times and some parts are an effort to get through. I would say its worth reading, although I would question how accurate it is.

Cassandra Dark
This is not just entertainment this is a savvy social statement. Not only that but it's got a hidden meaning of one person you don't discover until the last page. That person will remain with me forever because I know there are hundreds of her out there today. I want to do something to help her and I wish there was something in the back that tells me how I can. Despite all that I imagine this being shown in ITV as one of their gripping well plotted crime dramas. It's just absolute perfection in plot and character and deserves to be remembered as a masterpiece. Now I am going to Google charities and fund out what I can do.

This was a great series to pass time. An easy viewing, full of comedic lines and dark humour. Some of which was relatable, however worth watching the series 'Children's Hospital' first, as Medical Police is a spin off from that series. To make sense of the series, as when I saw a Doctor dressed as as a weird clown, I couldn't make sense why. It wasn't very clear and I had to Google it to make sense of it. However I would highly recommend this series to have a laugh. I would consider this series similar to that of 'Scrubs'. The actors were great together and storyline although sometimes lengthy leading to a bore at times, it was also gripping and exciting, as well as hilarious!

I understand not everyone likes the same old cheesy American horror but this one has been my top favourite film since I was 16!
Life is great parting drinking and messing with boys but when a stupid prank goes wrong and a guy ends up sticking a tire iron through a girls chest. The main girls help clean up the mess they caused and go on with there lifes. Graduation soon comes and so does a shocking series of events that's leaves behind a trail of body's, no one is safe.
I truly enjoyed this film all the actors and actresses are brilliant! A gripping horror that keeps you guessing throughout the film with plenty of girly bitchyness to keep a bit of comedy to this on the edge of your seat movie! Highly recommended

Loved this one growing up!!
Brilliant film with all the right gore horror twist and turns!!
A mysterious man approaches a boat salvaging group and puts across an offer they can't refuse they all head out to find a big abandoned ship, everything goes to plan they find the boat but it doesn't make sense with the main actress seeing a little girl around the ship you soon figure out something definitely isn't right. The crew start dying and the story unravels with a very dark and gripping story line. Watching it again for probably about the 7th time I noticed what the bad guy says at the end about he was a sinner and he has been given a job to collect the souls, explaining why everything is happening. Amazing film good actors and brilliant story line!! This is a must watch!!!!!
