Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Strike - The Cuckoo's Calling - Season 1 in TV
Jul 14, 2018
Well made adaptation
I love Robert Galbraith’s (J. K. Rowling’s) novels and was very excited when I found out they were adapting it for tv. That excitement bittered a bit when I learned each “season” would only be 2-3 episodes long and would cover an entire book. There is a lot of material in the rich and detailed novels that would have lent themselves to a full length season. That being said, the show was very good. The casting, in my opinion, is excellent. I wish there was more!

Not at all my cup of tea. I’m not a fan of flowers to start and the book was slow all the way through. If it weren’t for owlcrate I’m would have never read this book but I guess that’s the fun of the box to open up your horizons and make you read different things.
I thought each of the characters lacked in ...everything really and the story didn’t “blossom” shall I say until the last very few chapters. So what do we get the rest of the book....a whole lot of nothin ...
Points for a pretty cover though

This was definitely not my favourite of the bunch - I did find parts of it interesting - I mean the twists in this book (cant say or spoiler) were quite interesting and so excited to see where that goes - but It was boring overall, most of the book was slow - I liked Warner's perspective though a lot I think he's a great character on his own. I started getting a bit annoyed with everything. Kenji is still my all time favourite character and his newfound enthusiasm for a certain individual just made me so happy and excited! We need more Kenji ok

I really enjoyed the story and characters a lot. One thing that bothered me though was every chapter has at least 2-3 lists and after I noticed the pattern it started to annoy me. He'd have this long list of something, for example a list of sounds but it ends up being like a page long, then it leads into another list of what the sounds actually are. I'm probably not explaining myself right and might put an example in later. But the book would probably be half the length without all these lists and embedded sentences.

Good if you want it
I enjoy being able to easily access my friend's list for a quick chat. I can use funny gifs, pics, and emojis easily and quickly with the search feature. However, if I want to just use chat on a browser, it won't let me, you HAVE to download messenger. Which drives me a little nuts that Facebook is in two apps. It's fine if you have a lot of room on your phone, but it doesn't work for everyone.
BobbiesDustyPages (1259 KP) rated True Romance (1993) in Movies
Aug 11, 2018
A messed up kind of love story but a love story none the less.
True Romance is one of those movies that was really sad that I didn't know about it sooner especially since I grew up on Tarantino movies. From start to finish it really is just a damn good movie with a surprisingly good love story mixed in with all the blood and drugs. There's a hell of a lot of action a really good story amazing characters and just the over-the-top violence that you come to expect from these type of movies.
Sue (5 KP) rated A Village Shattered (Logan & Cafferty, #1) in Books

While the book had a good plot and kept you guessing as to who done it, I found the chapters a bit choppy. There didn't seem to be a transition from one scene to another, which made me have to re-read sections to see if I missed a page somewhere. There were also a lot of characters to try to follow and no real introduction to them. This is the first book in the series and I am told that they get better, so I am willing to read the second in the series as the first one wasn't totally bad.

kills the battery on my phone quickly
This game keeps me motivated to get out of the house and get moving. It has helped me start exercising more, which is always a good thing. The only issue is how fast it kills the battery. I have to make sure my phone is fully charged before going out to play the game because if I want to listen to music while playing I won't get much of a walk in because of how fast my phone will die.
Ivana A. | Diary of Difference (1171 KP) rated The Help in Books
Aug 21, 2018
This is a book where coloured maids in 1963 are afraid to speak up. This is a book where they gain the courage to tell a white lady what actually happens inside their lives. No one is ready to hear the truth, everyone is scared for their future, but bravery is a strong attire to have, and the maids prove they have what it takes. Lot of courage, lots of excitement, anxiety and me biting my nails over and over again, but definitely book that's worth reading. And definitely a book that will open your eyes about what actually happened back then.
Sawyer (231 KP) rated Doctor Who (1996) in Movies

The doctor getting shot and killed immediately after walking out the TARDIS into gang territory in America is just priceless (1 more)
All the ridiculous extra rooms in the TARDIS like why does the Tardis have a giant ancient dungeon in there
It's a hell of a lot bigger on the inside
Overall the movie is very weak and does a poor job of capturing the magic of Doctor Who and why British audiences love it
But it has enough weirdness and ridiculousness that any Doctor Who fan should watch it
