Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2395 KP) rated Dating is Murder in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Wollie's appearance on a reality dating show gets her involved when a German au pair, and volunteer member of the crew, goes missing. The plot is a bit slow in the first half, but it picks up for the second. Wollie is a wonderful main character, and the rest of the cast is great as well.

Movie Rating

A good action-thriller with a strong cast. It has a slow build up and is very character driven. There are some good, although short scenes, with some good supporting actors. There seem to be a lot of things in the plot that will make you think, why did/didn't he do that instead etc. So you need to suspend reality and stretch the imagination a little in places. An enjoyable enough film if not anything outstanding.

Milleen (47 KP) rated The Handmaid's Tale in Books

Nov 14, 2018

This book is infinitely better than any adaptation you can watch on TV. Atwood presents a stunning, stark creation of the world within Gilead, where women are there for one purpose; to breed. The story of one woman’s journey and the harsh reality of it gives you a sense of frustration. TV land has managed to spin another season out of this story. However, read the book and you’ll understand why I prefer it up to the bitter end.

Short but sweet

As I work in the NHS I thought I would give this book a go around the Christmas period. It did get a few giggles from me but other than that, it was slightly repetitive. I realised as I was reading this book that I should have first read Adam Kay's "This is going to hurt" so that some of the writing in this book would have made more sense. Short but sweet!

Even if you not into fashion watch it

This is a reality show on Netflix where several fashion designers go up against each other, designing and making garments and then putting on a fashion show. I am not into fashion at all but did binge watch this because the two presenters were great and just bounced off each other and made it fun to watch. Just watch it for a for something different and you might be surprised.
