ArecRain (8 KP) rated Carrying the Greek's Heir in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Absolute garbage. This novel is everything I loathe about romance: flat characters who clearly shouldn't be together, and a nonexistent plot. The male is the stereotypical, dime a dozen cold Alpha males who can't have emotions because of reason. The female was the stereotypical down on her luck girl next door who always gets the short end of the stick. There was nothing about either that made them special and the conversation made me want to slam my head repeatedly against a wall. And then she becomes pregnant, and the already bad story goes downhill.
I am glad it was free because I would have be furious had I paid money for this. I am already annoyed that I wasted the time reading it.

Game Design (4 more)
Theme
Elegant
Simple yet with a lot of depth
Great Example of Worker Placement
Wine Making in Tuscany, worker placement mechanics, and so elegantly done, with just enough complexity to make it interesting.
I adore this game, I love wine and this is a nearly perfect game for that theme. You send your workers out to do things, maybe it's planting some vines, upgrading the buildings, picking the grapes, crushing them, or maybe bottling them. But you only have so many of them, unless you hire and train new ones. Also maybe you should give some tours so you can make some money. This is a great game, also good games like this would be Stone Age and Lord of Waterdeep.

A Surprise Hit
Mario + Rabbids surprised me, and has managed to be one of my most played games on the Switch. It makes for a great entry into the turn-based shooter genre, while still being approachable enough to be played by kids.
The RPG elements are enough to provide you with a sense of advancement, without being overbearing. And all of the collectables/power ups provide plenty of extra content to keep the game interesting.
I know sokme people complained about the game, because they beat it in 20-30 hours, but I think there is easially 50 hours worth of content and replayability.

The Incredibles (2004) might just be the best superhero movie of all time. #Review
There are very few films as perfect as “The Incredibles”. Not only does it work flawlessly as one of the finest ever examples of a superhero movie, it also serves as an insightful deconstruction and analysis of the genre itself and still finds time to satirise the rise of entitled fan culture with a prescience that would be chilling if it weren’t so spectacularly on the money. Did I mention it’s terrific fun, too? Laugh out loud hilarious, clever, heartwarming and exquisitely structured, it’s one of my two all-time favourite screenplays. In case you haven’t twigged yet, I’m quite a fan...

It’s a Saw film (1 more)
Gore fest
Not bad
I was a fan of the saw films such as the franchise is.
You know that the series is about, you know what to expect and what is likely to happen and this is no different..
It is well thought out and possibly better than some of the later films in the series but you do tend to wonder why the have revived the series... obviously the film companies coffers are running low and an established film franchise is a money maker...
All in all it is watchable and enjoyable, IF you don’t expect anything different or too unexpected from the originals and like gory films.

A fantastic read.
Set in a futuristic world were VR is the biggest part of their everyday lives, many people play in the Oasis. The Oasis is a VR game where anyone can be anyone. Gamers are attempting to beat the game to win the prize money that has been left by the creator and to inherit the game itself.
I really enjoyed this concept and the fact that the Oasis challenges are the classic games like Pac man, games I have enjoyed and can relate to.
The best aspect of this book is, even though it's set in a world nothing like ours, we can relate to the characters and their enjoyment with tech and gaming and escaping reality as we do when gaming or reading.

What an absolute flop!!!
After loving "this is going to hurt" I was so excited to get this when it came out. And then it arrived. For the price of a standard hardback I got a pocket notebook! Oh well it still has potential.... nope! This feels like an absolute stretch to make money on another release around christmas using the back of the last book (which was actually really good) to sell to previous fans. I feel this flop will actually do the opposite and put people off buying the next one (if there is another) because they were tricked into buying this rubbish with an expectation that it would be as good as the first. This one went straight into the charity shop bag!

Lots of twists
Contains spoilers, click to show
Started this book and got into it from the first chapter. A couples baby goes missing while they are having dinner at their neighbours. The husbands business is failing and hes desperate for money, and so I thought "okay I know what happened". This book starts you off thinking it's super predictable, but then more twists show all those involved. At the end when the baby is finally home, it appears all is well and a happy ending.... in the last chapter one last twist means no happy ending after all. All in all easy to read and follow, just 300 or so pages of plot twists that make you want to keep reading to get the full truth.
