Tragic story of Irish communities
This book had a lot of similarities with Philomena. It's hugely tragic, about a woman who has been in an asylum for 80 years after being out there by malicious priests and community leaders, annulling her marriage and taking away her baby. While at times it seems improbable, the story of her psychiatrist trying to uncover her story is beautiful.

All time favorite
One of the best revenge stories ever written. I've read a lot of books, both modern and classics, but this one will always be my favorite.
One thing I thought would bother me are the Christian undertones throughout due to being an atheist, but though it was at times very religious, I never found it distracting even after having read it 6 times.

The story had a lot of exciting moments. I was happy to see the things that I remember from my limited knowledge of Peter Pan including the pirates, the tree, and mermaids. I was also thrilled to see a few surprises along the way.

Chelsea (166 KP) rated Sleeping Beauties in Books

There were a lot of characters but all were pretty well-developed. I liked the way the story was split between many different perspectives. It was gripping story that I got through quickly, especially for the length of the book, but the ending fell very flat. I was so invested in the story that just...ended. Overall, though, I thought it was a good read.

Great Sfx
Another excellent entry for Marvel
Such a huge film with so many big characters. The film whizzes by even at 2 hrs 20mins. The battle scenes are great, just felt the big battle could have been a lot longer considering the amount of characters involved. Still with a fair amount of humour as well.
This is my go to app. I have a lot of family around the world and when you can't travel this helps keep up with family and friends. I can see pics and videos and really feel like I can be there when in reality I'm not. I have watched people from relationships, kids grow up, and all kinds of stuff on here. Love it!!!

Good screen size
Fast and reliable
Good phone
As a previous user of iPhones, I was always disappointed over the lack of storage and was sceptical about changing over to samsung however I was pleasantly surprised. Once I moved over I found I could expand the memory using a micro sd card and install a lot more apps from other sources.

It does have a lot of the campy qualities that are so infamous in regards to the horror movies of the 70s and 80s, but the film also succeeds in developing such an effective sense of horror and tension that it’s easy to see how it spawned countless sequels and an entire genre of horror films.

Not As Good As The First One
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, so I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately a lot of the things I loved so much about the first one didn't really shine through as well here. I still enjoyed Alosa's character, but the direction of the story did her a disservice. The story just left me feeling disappointed.
Leighann Twist (26 KP) rated Captain Marvel (2019) in Movies

I went to this movie thinking that I wouldnt like it but wound up enjoying it a lot. Briee Larson does a great job as Captain Marvel and I am a 90s kid so I loved the music in the film as well. Goose is my new favorite Marvel character and him and Nick Fury are amazing together.
