Ralph is a great character (0 more)
This is one of my favourite Stephen King books. I think because I like the weird ones (The Green Mile is also a favourite) over the more horror-themed ones.

The thing I see from a lot of other reviews is the length of the book. Personally I didn't notice it, but I quite enjoy longer books that really get into the details of the story and the characters. Sure, there's probably a lot of 'filler' that could be cut off this was ever made into a film, but I quite liked the little mundane details, it made the characters more real.

One of the few books that I have read again and again over the years.

3000 Miles to Graceland- is a good crime thriller. I know it got bad reviews, nominated for five different raspberries and laughable, but i liked it.

The plot: It's International Elvis Week in Las Vegas, where the strip is flooded by a sea of King wannabes decked out in jumpsuits and sideburns. But five of the impersonators swaggering into the Riviera Hotel are toting heavy weaponry in their guitar cases. It's the heist of a lifetime, orchestrated by ex-con Michael (Kurt Russell) and his cunning former cellmate, Murphy (Kevin Costner). The crooked Elvises steal away with $3.2 million, leaving the hotel in ruins and a high body count in their wake.

It has a good cast and intresting thriller.

Not much X appeal
Put off watching this for a while after mainly bad reviews for it. It's definitely a bit strange for an X-Men film as it feels much like a teen horror. It reminded me of @The Ward (2010) as these mutants are held in a creepy looking hospital facility that's isolated.
Thankfully the cast does have some talent and Anya Taylor-Joy steals the light in her scenes.
Once past the slow and dull first half of the film it did pick up a bit for the finale. Most likely disappointing for X-Men fans but Horror fans might like it more.

Mixes two different types of games (deckbuilding and area control) in a very streamlined way. (6 more)
The area control mechanics are very well put together.
The "Inner Circle" is a new taking on "trashing" cards.
Easy to grasp and teach.
Lots of different ways to score points.
Awesome theme, especially if you like fantasy and/or D&D.
Scales very well at 2, 3 or 4 players.
The palette, as mentioned earlier, is probably gonna put some people off. But who cares, the game is solid. (0 more)
Overall a VERY solid game, and a very underrated one at that. One of the best games of 2016, if you ask us, which you should.

Long story short (and really, it's sloths, fer Pete's sake! They are as chill as the Dude! No need for long, drawn-out reviews!): Ms. Cooke knows sloths! Seriously!! In addition to all her work she has done at the Sloth Sanctuary, working with rescued sloths, she has found time to share some ridiculously cute sloth photos, along with some inspirational words of wisdom from the likes of folks like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Harper Lee.

It was very difficult for me to not finish this in one sitting. However, like an exquisite meal, each "morsel" I read was to be savored! Do yourself a favor and get this book! Your heart, and your Soul, will be most grateful indeed!
