Erika (17788 KP) rated The Murder of King Tut in Books
Jan 21, 2019 (Updated Jan 21, 2019)
To start off with, this book made me realize I absolutely hate the way James Patterson writes, and this is the last book I touched with him listed as an author.
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst books I've every read on King Tut. I've studied Egyptian History, due to being an archaeology minor, and this is the biggest load of bologna next to 'slaves built the pyramids' theories, well, or the ancient astronaut theory. Possible? Sure, maybe, but Tut was a sickly dude, and they didn't happen to have advanced medicine at the time.
Please, for the love of god, do not trust a fiction writer, paired with whomever the other dude is, for history.
By the way, I read this book right when it came out, and it still pisses me off nearly 10 years later.

Loved the book it it kept me hooked for the entirety.
I loved the way you saw the story from everyone's point of view. Each chapter opened a new door on the memories that Rachel couldn't quite remember, even if the chapter wasn't hers.
Throughout you hope that things didn't end the way they do.
The only bad bit I found was the ending due to the suspense throughout once you worked out the killer it had a bit of a drag. It also had such a dull end which is a shame as a whole the book is fantastic and kept me gripped. This is my personal opinion on the ending as I have spoken to others who loved it so maybe it's like marmite: you either love it or hate it.
Still minus the end it's a five star thriller.

Twister- is one of those films that you hate but enjoy, its stupid it but you enjoy it every time you watch it.
The plot: During the approach of the most powerful storm in decades, university professor Dr. Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) and an underfunded team of students prepare the prototype for Dorothy, a ground-breaking tornado data-gathering device conceived by her estranged husband, Bill (Bill Paxton). When Harding tells Bill that Dorothy is ready for testing -- and that their privately funded rival Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes) has stolen the idea and built his own -- Bill rejoins the team for one last mission.
Bill Paxton, Helen Hurt and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are great in this film.
I do reccordmend this film, cause like i said before its a dumb action disaster film.

one of the better ones.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I think this film might be one of the only Hitchcock films I liked - and that list is VERY short. I liked the mystery and the way you kind of end up rooting for Tony, but you're still satisfied and happy when he gets caught. I think Halliday was a great move and I loved that he and the inspector were the ones to unravel his plot. I loved the detail that was put into this film and the fact that it was only shot at one location - a rarity for Hitchcock.
This is easily one of the most solid Hitchcock films and probably one of the only ones I'd recommend. Watch at your own discretion because I've come to notice that Hitchcock is either-or. You either love him or you hate.

Alice (117 KP) rated The Year Shakespeare Ruined My Life in Books
Mar 3, 2021
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Second Story Press
Okay so I love Shakespeare and I love stories set in high school drama departments so that alone should have done it for me but I just really didn't vibe with this book! I didn't enjoy any of the characters (especially the main character) and as a character driven reader that's such an impportant thing for me! I can forgive a lacklustre plot if the characters are good and enjoyable! There were parts that I enjoyed and I generally didn't hate it but I did find myself just reading it solely so that I could get it finished rather than enjoying the experience. It had a lot of potential and I'm sure a lot of people will like it but it just didn't do it for me, unfortunately!

Not as scary as blurb suggests
Creepy but over described
I enjoyed this book overall, the blurb makes the villain seem a lot more threatening than he actually is, not that there aren't some gross parts. The plot was interesting and I like how it dealt with a unique disease.
The scene was set quite well early on but I think more could have been done to elicit this throughout the book.
I liked the main detective and the psychologist, I could see a sequel in the future with the usual love hate relationship emerging between them.
There were a few instances where the story was a little unbelievable, particularly around the flooring scene. Plus some of the facts of the case are happened upon and theories are very much close to the truth.
