graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Angel: After the Fall, Volume 1 in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I have to say, this was bloody awesome! The style was there, the characters, the vibe, it all felt like Angel. Season eight of Buffy feels a bit 'out there' as far as the plot goes but this actually is a continuation of the series, and even though it didn't start right where the show (and action) left off (although, I think volume two of After the Fall does), it did a great job getting back into a groove. Not to mention the artwork is fabulous and the whole look of the book is beautiful. Great job, I hope the others in the series hold up as well.

I rate this with a 3 since there aren't any half ratings ...this is more a 3.5 star review. I was both happy and sad with this book. Sad, because unlike with the BDB, I wasn't instantly sucked into the story line. It took me a long time to get into the story and really feel apart of it. That said, the characters were intriguing and definitely full of emotion that I could feel. I hope that the next book in Ward's Bourbon Kings series is easier to get into.

Mesmerizing Imagery
An Artistic Masterpiece
The imagery created in this film was nothing short of a masterpiece. The fractured world took on a whole new world of its own as this spiralling piece came together. The film was executed to perfection, nothing short of any film that Cumberbatch has been in, however as much of a fan as I am I cannot begin to see the correlation in his character roles throughout all of his films. Although he is much beloved to me as an actor I watch and hope to find some new angle or twist that he brings to his next role.

Reworking of the classic movie of the same name
Excellent reworking of the film of the same name all the leads are excellent and comedy legends. The scripting is on par with the film and episode seven is directed by the director of the film and manages to get some excellent guest stars in the episode that is a nice touch.
At round-a-bout twenty five minutes an episode it doesn't out stay its welcome. It's another comedy classic and I hope it gets renewed for another season.

I absolutely adored this book. I wanted to read it every minute of the day so couldn't wait for my train rides home from work to sit down and get to read what happens next.
Loved the way it was set out, made the book 10 times more interesting to read and really gave it that certain uniqueness to make the book excellent.
I felt as though the plot almost faltered in the middle, it seems some pieces of the story were left to dangle in mid air, but everything became resolved in the shock ending.
I hope Edgar Cantero has plenty more excellent books like this to come!

Perfectly Human
Absolutely fantastic. A beautiful showcase of how our decisions shape our lives, and how hope and acceptance can make all the difference.
When I read My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, it was an instant favorite.
I read this because I enjoyed that book so much, but I didn’t expect at all for this book to become a favorite as well. At this point, I’d read the author’s grocery lists if he publishes them. His books give me exactly the feelings I look for from a book, where you can curl up and lose yourself in the emotion.
I completely recommend it.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Remember Me in Books
Feb 17, 2018
Noelle Winters does a good job creating a sense of suspense in [Remember Me]. The plot centers around Katy who's daughter was kidnapped three years ago. Suddenly the case is refreshed by a picture of her daughter being sent to her. The FBI sends Alex to liason with local law enforcement and the family on this case that her father originally worked. These two broken women find friendship and hope within each other.
The plot of this takes some unexpected twists. The romance is there but not the main focus. It was a really quick read with developed characters and a very steady pace.

Back in Time
Girl: "OMG, hey!! I haven't seen you for so long"
Me: "Hi, I know its been a while"
Girl: "You look so different! You weren't like this before, you've changed..."
This is a conversation I have so many times with old school friends, family members who haven't seen me for a while or general passers-by that like to give me their opinions. I always find that statement odd "you've changed". Like I should remain the same two-dimensional person my entire life. When people tell me I've changed, I usually reply with "I hope so!"

A Train Wreck
I think its important to mention that this is one of my favorite book series. If I hadn't had already read the books before seeing this movie maybe I would have thought it was a little better. Probably not but you never know. As someone who loves the book series I have to say this is absolutely one of the worst movie adaptations I have ever seen. The story line was off, the characters were completely different, and at some points it was so bad it was laughable. My biggest hope for this series is that eventually a studio will pick it up and actually do it justice.

Sweet
Unique ending
Hits you right in the feels
So many people have seen this and I'm sure theres lots of different views on this so don't judge me. I'm not a girly girl by any means but wow this film makes me cry EVERY. BLUMMIN. TIME. Some bits you can see coming but the ending is something that I still hope will change (LOL). Sam Claflin and Amelia Clarke are just such amazing Actors i cannot imagine anyone else being about to play the characters as perfectly as they do.
A good tear jerker, it's so sweet, you can forgive the crying.
