Erika (17789 KP) rated BlacKkKlansman (2018) in Movies

I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure how much the story was embellished and/or changed, but it was overall, an entertaining 'true story'. I know Spike Lee was drawing heavy parallels to today, which, is fine, but I think everyone would have still gotten the point without the last 5-10 minutes of news footage.
Adam Driver and John David Washington were a good team, and their work together was kind of what made the movie. The last scene on the phone was the best part of the movie.

As before, they are then caught up in a mystery surrounding a murder as well as the usual romantic entanglements for these novels. This also sees the return of the 'Master Criminal' from the previous books, who is both named (obviously not his real name) and looks like becoming a recurring character in the series as a whole.
I found this to be a diverting enough read, but not up to the standards of the first novel, perhaps due to the fact that I am now familiar with the type of story it is.

Maybe A will hook up with Gossip Girl and they'll take on corrupt politicians?
***STOP! HERE THERE BE SPOILERS***
Now, that I've read the book. Am I the only one that kinda thinks with all the A shenanigans, the girls would never, ever keep a secret as long as they lived?
Seriously, some chick who looks like Ali (sort of) shows up in Jamaica and NONE of them think to send a pic in anonymously to a tabloid site? The conspiracy theorists are legion and somebody would have dug up something on Tabitha.
Also, it took a freaking year for the body to wash up? I find that pretty suspicious.
Poor Hanna. She's always been my favorite.
Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, #10) in Books
Jan 14, 2020
Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing ...
I think this was the first stackhouse book where sookie doesn't absolutely drive me crazy! It wasn't too bad at all. I find myself sticking with this series because I'm so far into them now! Would I recommend the series possibly as each person is different to what they like to read.
