I bought this phone only two months after it was released. And I was so excited about it.
Now, three years later, I'm still happy with my choice.
Yes she has slowed down some, seeing as I overwork her a lot but regardless her performance is still very satisfactory. The camera quality is still impressive. The battery life, while not the best on the market, has only slightly decreased over the three years.
Overall I have really loved this phone, and I will probably get the newest OnePlus when it's time for an upgrade. But this one still has plenty of life to give.

Captivating
Loved the humour!
I’ve heard a lot of people say it relies on humour too much or takes too long to show venom but I actually think that for the first Venom movie of at least 3 that it worked really well.
The humour made the story flow with ease rather than it dragging, and I couldn’t stop laughing at the random outbursts Venom has about food.
I unfortunately haven’t read all of the comics but I can’t wait to see where the story goes, the mixture of dark humour and action makes for a really compelling series of films.

Dark Gritty murder, good characters, great cast (0 more)
Not what i Expected
A dark and gritty movie set in 19th Century London. Its basically a murder hunt with a lot of clever plot twists and side stories. The central 'detective' character is played by the brilliant Bill Nighy and it is he who must ascertain whether Olivia Cooke's character had good cause to murder her husband or whether she did murder him at all. It flows very well and you will find yourself drawn into the main characters life which is far from flawless. Well worth a watch if you enjoyed Michael Caine's Jack the Ripper.

A lot of time has passed between reading this novel and writing this review yet this book has stayed with me as it's such a powerful read. I got completely drawn in and was fascinated yet horrified of this world that could so easily become a reality.
At times it was hard to follow due to the writing style but I did get more used to it the further I got into the story. The changes in the language used between characters in their daily lives compared to when they escaped within their own minds was really clever. I will be looking for more work done by this author.

One of the most intriguing beginnings evolve into one of those psychological mind-twisting books that divides readers. The literary equivalent to marmite, you will either love it or hate it! There are an awful lot of novels like this on the market but Feeney has a fresh style and creates characters and backgrounds that are believable, even if the narrative is hard to navigate at times. I admit, I had to re-read the ending. I wouldn’t want to outline anything here that would spoil the story so I will just recommend it wholeheartedly, just don’t blame me if you read it twice.

A year later still going
I've had this game for a couple of years. Love designing my garden and the different challenges you can join. The levels are sometimes really difficult and others super easy.
I will fade in and out of playing it a lot of the time, but will always return to it.

The flower challenge can be annoying as you have to use your unlimited time when you get it and I end up wasting half of it due to life getting in the way. Damn being an adult.

I love this app. I always have. It’s especially amazing if you’re a creative person - there are a lot of DIY ideas on here - whether that be self DIY (hair, makeup, nails) or actual DIY (build a bookcase). Other than that there’s pretty much anything you can think of, if it’s not there- add it! Use a link or screenshot it and add it to one of your public boards and everyone will be able to see it. 100% recommend.

I have been playing AOS for a year now and i love it. The rules are simple and easy to follow and there's an element in the hobby for everyone from minature building, terrain creating, minature painting and then the actual war gaming that comes in many different forms suited to how you would like to play.
The company is great a bringing new things out regularly, listening to and engaging with their customers.
The only downside is that it's quite addictive and you end up sinking a lot of money in it. I have four armies already...oops!

Goliath brought an epic conclusion to the Leviathan Trilogy. I read through this book quicker than the others (and that is saying a lot). As the crew of the Leviathan continue their mission, the action and adventure increases! Tensions rise as secrets long kept come into the light. Alek wants to do the right thing, but is his judgement clouded? If you are looking for something new to read, this trilogy is where it is at! Watching Alek and Deryn learn, grow and mature along this journey was a delight. This is a great story and one that I look forward to revisiting in the future.
  
fab read
This is the second part in this set but the seventh part in this series by this authjor. These books need to be read in order to fully understand the story between the characters. This book is full of twists and turns, surprises, drama, lies, betrayal and loads of suspense. amazing well written characters just like the first book. This is a short read but the author has packed a lot into the pages. I can't wait to read more in this set and by this author in the future.



Highly recommended set

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
