Dean (6927 KP) rated The Reader (2008) in Movies
Feb 10, 2018
A fine example of great actors, Winslet won an Oscar for this film telling a sad love story. The film has two different halves. The first with an impressive performance by David Kross as a teenage boy who begins an affair one summer with a much older woman. The couple appear naked for much of the first half of the film as the couple spend their time either reading or making love. The second half of the film is set a good few years later as their paths cross again at a war crimes trial. For me quite a few things in the film don't have much of a back story or make a lot of sense. For me the end of the film didn't have a satisfying conclusion and leaves a lot of questions unanswered. A sad story of two lonely lives and the impact they had on each other.

Oh my word ... what a story!! I don't think there are adequate words that capture adequately how I felt about this book and how good it was ... it was absolutely gripping and I was rivetted from the very first to the very last word ... and it's inspired by a true story.
To Dream of Shadows is a powerful story of survival, loss, resilience, hope and the power of friendship and love; it is a difficult book to read in parts but I was absolutely gripped and devoured it in quick time and have no problem recommending this to those of you who love getting totally immersed in a wonderful book that will have your emotions in tatters and your eyes glued to the words.
Many thanks must go to the author, Steve N Lee, for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of To Dream of Shadows.

Moons Flower (Kingdom 6)
By Marie Hall
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once upon a time, long, long ago a flower fairy looked up to the sky and dared to fall in love with the Man in the Moon...
Or so goes the tale that Danika weaves for the gathered fae children. Tonight is the night to learn a hidden tale of Kingdom. A story long forgotten, remembered by few. A tale of treachery, of love, betrayal and woe... but there's more to the story than meets the eye. This isn't just a tale of Jericho and Calanthe and their doomed Shakespearean romance, for tonight the truth of one beloved Kingdom character will be revealed
I thought this was a really sad story but now certainly now more about our fairy godmother. This series has is so easy an enjoyable to read.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Monsters, Inc. (2001) in Movies
Aug 12, 2017
Literally one of my favourite Disney Pixar films
I find Monsters Inc to be on par with Toy Story. Such a heartfelt story of an almost father - daughter relationship between Sully and Boo, unlike most Disney films where there is a love interest. The voices from Billy Crystal and John Goodman are genius and the ending still makes me shed a happy tear. And I actually watched it from the beginning again straight after seeing it for the first time.

this is one of my favourite authors, I was really excited to receive this ARC. the author is brilliant at giving you complexed characters in a fantastic story line. the story enfolds beautifully and leaves you wanting more, roll on book 2. this book has a cliff hanger ending which will defiantly keep you wanting more. I love how there are still lots of secrets to unfolds in the next books.
