Emma Tucker (52 KP) rated Wicked in Books
Sep 12, 2017
It wasn't quite what i was expecting, being a massive fan of the musical. It's definitely not as light and fun as the musical - it's a lot darker and deeper. However I did enjoy it as a standalone novel. The twists from the original story are so clever and its much more emotional and also quite political.

Turn rejection from a bad thing to a not-bad thing
It reminded me a lot of Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project" in that it integrated his story with research he came across during his journey. While it was enjoyable, that aspect of it was unexpected and, at times, kind of boring. Overall though, highly recommended.

This review is probably going to ruin any reputation I may have! I actually thought this was better than the original ?. I felt there was a lot more action than the first. Patric is not as engaging as Reeves was in Speed but still does an ok job. Dafoe is great as the loose cannon. Sorry everyone!

I've read a lot of novels based on classical mythology, and they're normally either really good, or really poor. This was definitely one of the better ones. Of course, I'm familiar with the story, however I'm more familiar with The Oresteian Trilogy by Aeschylus. I liked how the characters were fleshed out, and the story was completely engaging.

A Classic That should be left in the past
So many other tabletop games completely dwarf this and it should be left in the past. Eliminating players isn't fun, and no strategy to mitigate luck leaves a lot to be desired.
Bex Hocking (18 KP) rated The Haunting of Hill House- Season 1 in TV

Heard all about it from various people raving about how scary it was and how it made you jump. I did love the season it had me from the first episode but didn't make me jump but saying that not a lot does but it gets you psychologically has you thinking about it after you turn the light off.

If you like magic then watch this film, although a lot of a the stunts were probably staged slowly and then edited together, the tricks were still impressive. The twist at the end - you do not see coming although if you watch it again (which I have done) it does rather spoil it but still a good film.

Soooo much better then Monopoly
Love this game. Been playing it for years and it always gives me a challenge. If you are looking for a solid resource management game that also tests your strategy and negotiation skills, this is the one to go for.
Kate (355 KP) rated Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (Soundtrack) by Various Artists (Mamma Mia) in Music
Mar 24, 2019
Don't expect to recognise a lot of the songs, yes they are all by Abba but some of them are relatively unknown ones, I suppose they used the majority of popular ones in the first film. Some of the ones I didn't know were quite good though although personally they have been slightly ruined by being rewritten musically.

If your not big on board game but maybe you have a lot of friends who are, this is a good way to start. The game is easy to learn and similar to hearts. Games are generally long but they do get quite competitive.
