Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Deadweather and Sunrise (The Chronicles of Egg, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Egbert "Egg" Masterson leaves the family island unexpectedly, he never expects to find himself on his own and fighting to stay alive. Can he evade those who are after him long enough to find out why they want him dead?
This is an inventive middle grade series. It's not our world but not fantasy either, and I had no problem jumping into that world. There's lots of action for guys with Egg always on the run from killers and pirates. Definitely planning on reading the next one myself soon.

Seductive Sparrows!
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My sincerest apologies for not posting last week guys but sometimes university dissertation has to take priority you know?
Anyway, I have a killer book review today with the movie adaptation releasing on the 1st of March. The movie 'Red Sparrow' stars Jennifer Lawrence, ultimate baddest bitch of all time, alongside Joel Edgerton, Jeremy Irons and Matthias Schoenaerts.
I would always always advise you read the book before you watch a movie adaptation because I feel like you get more context and detail but thats just my biased view in favour of books :)

Alicia S (193 KP) rated Sweet Ache (Driven, #6) in Books
Sep 28, 2018
Another incredible book by one of my favorite authors. Kristy has a way of writing that truly makes you feel as though you KNOW these characters and love them, scars and all. I am HUGE Driven Trilogy fan and this book was a perfect addition.. LOVE Hawke and Quinn and my absolute favorite parts were the moments we got to revisit with Colton, Riley and most of all, special guest appearances from the D-Bags! My all-time favorite rockers hanging out together (love it!). Love the witty banter between Quinn and the guys and Quinn's strength is apparent throughout. Another absolute must-read.... beautifully written story!

Cumberland (1142 KP) rated We'll Always Have Summer (Summer, #3) in Books

Great Conclusion
This book is the conclusion to the series. It takes place two years after the previous book. Belly is with Jeremiah, but she still thinks of Conrad. The previous two books focused more on Conrad, and the reader was well aware of his flaws. This book shows the reader Jeremiah's flaws, and his relationship with Belly. The great thing about this series is that the reader is never sure who Belly will end up with. Both of the guys are great, and have the potential to make her happy. I really enjoyed how this one ended, and I don't think other readers will be disappointed with the series.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Adventureland (2009) in Movies
Nov 7, 2018
I saw this not knowing too much about it. I was expecting more of a comedy, it has it's moments. However it's more of a coming of age, teen drama. That said it is a very good character driven film and uniquely interesting in a funny kinda way. It tells the story of one guys summer working a Adventureland, a rundown old theme park. There he encounters a wide range of misfits who he becomes friends with. A good film, well directed and the actors make it an entertaining watch, not to mention a time trip to the '80s. Cool soundtrack as well from that era.

Exciting (1 more)
Great storyline
Close
A good action movie, no stupid unrealistic car chasing's and unrelatable cold and empty heroes.
Noomi Rapace as always gave an outstanding performance that definitely lifts the movie a lot.
I liked the fact that the leading character is not the normal detached strong man who has no feelings and can’t wait to get the job over but this isn’t the case. Noomi is not necessary stronger than the bad guys, but she is quicker, more skillful and smarter.
Easy watching film, that has smart action that doesn't let you get bored, but not too much action to get tired of it.
Would recommend watching
