Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated A Deadly Feast in Books
Dec 30, 2019
I received a copy of A Deadly Feast from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Hayley is excited about her upcoming wedding when a woman tragically dies on a food tour. She also has to worry about her broken down future houseboat and her future husband's career.
It's a lot. But thankfully, not too much. Hayley wants to clear the name of a chef and goes about doing so.
I really, really liked Miss Gloria

AT (1676 KP) rated Attack on Titan Vol. 27 in Books
Jul 18, 2019
There was a lot of information in this volume, and not much action. Therefore, it was one of those in between volumes that you need to further the story. It wasn't very exciting, though. So many new characters were added in the last few volumes that, coupled with the time changes and flashbacks, it's sometimes confusing to tell who people are immediately. All in all, it was fine. Necessary. Though, definitely not a volume of exciting action.

So happy to have finally gotten around to watching this as it never hit local theater here. Last Flag Flying is one of the best movies I've watched recently. Laughed until I cried, then cried a lil more. The natural chemistry between Carell, Cranston, and Fishburne is wonderful and takes this beautifully written story to the next level. Brought back a lot of memories for me too for different reasons. Last Flag Flying should be your next movie playing.

READ. THIS. NOW.
Wow. I read a lot of books and very few have the ability to stick around and make me think about it for days on end. Vicious is that book. Being able to love and hate both Eli and Victor simultaneously is a task that only VE Schwab could accomplish. The plot was so fast paced that I genuinely couldn't put the book down. READ IT NOW!
Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated My Sister's Keeper in Books
Nov 6, 2019
I have read the majority of Jodi Picoult books. She knows how to write a good controversial book, making you see both sides to the story. The characters, in their own rights, are very likeable. My sister's keeper is a very powerful write, and it makes you realise just how fragile life can be. The film with Cameron Diaz was a bit poor, and there was a lot that was missing, and added that was not in the book.

A little different
Something a little different, acting from the main bad guy leaves a lot to be desired. Main female character is a crack shot until she goes up against Radcliffe then cant seem to hit a thing, ironically when they team up she's a crack shot again and for a few magical moments so is Radcliffe. Shoddy storyline with enjoyable moments. I'd still give it a watch just to say you've seen it.
AT (1676 KP) rated Parasite (2019) in Movies
Mar 13, 2020
I loved Parasite way more than I was expecting to. It was unique. A breath of fresh air compared to everything else that's out now. I thought it was part horror, but I guess it wasn't. Violent, yes. However, it was also a well-woven story that had a lot of smart humor in it. I really enjoyed it, and can definitely see how it won so many Oscars this year. It's definitely worth your while to watch.

Loved dumbo
Watched Dumbo this week, and I was expecting to hate it, as I don't understand why Disney are trying to make all the classics as live actions, however I loved this telling of the story the elephant is fantastic and expressive, the kids are brilliant and a lot of the supporting characters are really good, only down point was Colin Farewell, I think he's forgotten how to act!
Eleanor (1463 KP) rated The Cruel Prince in Books
Apr 21, 2020
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book and after the shocking start I thought it looked set to settle into a fantasy setting teen drama (yawn.) However, it suddenly turned on the intrigue level and became a lot more cloak and dagger plotting and less who kissed who.
For the first book in a series (trilogy?) this ended in a satisfying place but leaving me with plenty of desire to pick up the next book

This is not what I expected. I checked this book out thinking it was going to be more science based. Instead it was more anecdotal. It was interesting hearing about different aspects of insomnia and what happens to a person. I found this goes a lot of topic at times. Nevertheless it is one of the the most beautifully metamorphically written book I’ve ever read. Listen to it, at times I felt like I was surrounded by colour.
