Roxanne (13 KP) rated Baby's Very First Black and White Book: Babies in Books
Nov 14, 2018
I love to try my baby with different kinds of books, I would be over the moon if she were to grow up as a book lover like her mummy. She is almost 3 months old and she loves this book, it's filled with really nice patterns, pictures and also a few words for you to read. It's a really nice sturdy hard back and you can tell that a lot of thought and hard work went into this book. I would definitely be interested in looking for the rest of the set to show my bubba. To be honest, the patterns are so busy and fascinating even I enjoy looking at them hehe ^.^

Interesting Book
This book follows the story of Ben. In his younger days he wrote songs for a small band that gained some popularity. The story shows the reader how Ben got to where he is, and why he views music the way he does.
While the main plot is about Ben and his music a lot of other stuff is going on. My favorite thing about this book is that it takes what would normally be considered obscure or random, such mushroom hunting, grave digging, and yarn bombing, and makes them really interesting parts of the story. If you're looking for a good story that is a little different this is a book for you.

I love this game a lot.
A car and football, blended together. I play it on PC with my X-Box Controller and I am so happy.
The most exciting moments for me were when each game would end, I would receive a certain loot.
And now, they implemented a new update - with Tiers, same as hmmm... FORTNITE!
If you can buy it, you'll get loot. If not - you have to wait until you level up.
Now I am not so eager to play anymore. My rating was 9/10. Now it's dropped down to a 4/10.
Sad...
P.S - when choosing platform, you can't choose PC :(

Akward (448 KP) rated Marvel's Spider-Man in Video Games

One of the best open worlds of any game (3 more)
Combat feels fluid
Plenty of things to do
Enjoyable platinum trophy
If you enjoyed playing Spiderman 2 for the PS2/Gamecube, you will enjoy this game. It is the successor in every way. But most importantly, it maintains the exception playground of Manhattan.
Overall, the story is good (not great) and will engage most people for long enough to justify the price of the game. I do not see a lot of replayability, as the combat can get old after a little while. But I think most people will spend long enough swinging around the city to be more than happy.

This movie will not be for everyone, but I really liked it. I'll watch anything with Keanu Reeves in it, which was the main selling point. The movie was slightly silly, and maybe unintentionally hilarious? It did get a lot of laughs, mainly when Keanu's character was a bit of a mad scientist and acting a little loony.
It was immensely entertaining.I kept waiting for something horrible to go wrong, and was afraid that it may go the way of horror/sci-fi. Luckily it didn't, I have enough nightmare fuel.
I don't expect this film to be in theaters long, and I imagine it'll maybe fair better in a different market.

Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated The Visit (2015) in Movies
Jan 13, 2019
This was an "ok" movie. The acting was a little weak. The cinematography was mediocre. The story was interesting, though. Shot in a "home video" style, which isn't unique, but the story itself was. A couple of teens go visit their grandparents they've never met and a lot of weird stuff happens during that week. There's a good twist to the movie you get about 2/3 into it. Not bad. The ending though, was... off. Like it went from being a "serious" creepy movie to being comedic just for the very last scene. Not sure what they were doing there, but whatever. If you're bored and you have nothing better to do, this one could entertain.
Underwhelming
Honestly with the plot of the book they could have took it so much further. for one the characters just seemed so 2D and so I couldn't emphasise with them at all.
Thestart was promising but even then to much of what was happening was given away. Yes I know that a lot of authors use the technique of letting the reader know before the characters do but in this book it was just overused.
It is a shame because the idea of the book was good and you can tell the author has the right imagination for it but they fail in implementing it at least in this case.

Jessica - Where the Book Ends (15 KP) rated The Grown Ups in Books
Jan 30, 2019
This book was quite enjoyable! I loved that we were able to follow friends throughout the years and all the trials and tribulations that come with growing up.
Sam, Suzie, and Bella are great friends and the book is written in such a way that I was able to put myself in their shoes and relive the woes of childhood.
The Grown Ups was very slow to start for me, I wasn't loving it at first and even toyed with the idea of putting it down and walking away. I stuck with it and I ended up relating pretty well with the characters.
I liked this book a lot and I will be recommending it to friends.

AT (1676 KP) rated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) in Movies

I loved Into the Spider-verse! I must honestly say that it's one of the best Spiderman movies that I've seen since some older cartoon movies. I've never been a major Spiderman fan, and some of the more recent movies ruined it even more (thanks, Andrew Garfield). However, I really enjoyed watching this one! I do like Miles Morales and Spiderham a lot, so I'm sure that helps. Lol I loved how they did some parts of the animation so it looked like you were in a comic book. It made for a fun, nostalgic feeling. It's definitely worth seeing! There's an after-credit scene, too, so don't get up to leave right away.

Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of The Evil Queen from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I wanted to like this one more than I actually did.
The righting is great and a lot of it is really evocative but the character of Every came off as about 12 or so. Her reactions didn't strike me as realistic for a high schooler at all.
The dialogue is a bit cheesy at points but I'm not gonna complain to much because what's a fairy tale without some cheese?
I did enjoy the story but the sensual parts did come off a bit awkward to me on account of the MC seeming so young.
