Merissa (14214 KP) rated Carnal Knowledge (A Deadly Sins Novel #2) in Books

Aug 13, 2020

Carnal Knowledge is the second book in the Deadly Sins series but it can be read as a standalone, as I did.

This is a suspenseful and paranoid book, making the reader wonder who the killer is at every turn. It could be a multitude of people but you are kept guessing until the end. I thought I had it right but was confused about a certain issue, although that was sorted out in the end.

The characters are all sympathetic to the issues our main female is going through but you just can't help the suspicion that blooms. The situations and attitudes that arise in this book are all too believable which make this a brilliant and horrible book to read.

This book is present tense, written by Wren, which gives you the perfect insight into what is going on with her. If you like tense, suspenseful, and sometimes, shocking thrillers, then I have no hesitation in recommending it to you. Absolutely brilliant.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated The Taking Of Pelham 123 (2009) in Movies

Get Off My Train

The Taking of Pelham 123- i have seen this movie about 7 times now, and its a good movie. Full of drama, suspense and thrills. Not alot of action though. When I watched the first couples times, i didnt realize it was a remake. It wasnt until like the 4th or 5th time, i realize it was a remake. Both Denzel and John were excellent in this film. I really liked John as the villian and wish he can play more villians, cause he is really good as the bad guy.

The plot: Chaos reigns in the New York City subway system when heavily armed criminals, led by a mastermind named Ryder (John Travolta), hijack a subway train and threaten to kill everyone on board unless a large ransom is paid. Dispatcher Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) uses his extensive knowledge of the transit system in a bid to outwit the hijackers and save the hostages, but one question remains: even if the hijackers get their money, how can they possibly escape?

Its a highly entertaining movie, and a must watch film.
