Merissa (11950 KP) rated The Baby Question: Paranormal Mpreg Short Stories in Books
Jun 23, 2023
THE BABY QUESTION is a follow-up that combines the Tangled Tentacles series and the Assassins To Order series with five short stories that all happen in a relatively short amount of time.
I enjoyed all of them - and the catch-up - but some more than others. And I found myself either agreeing or disagreeing more strongly than I had anticipated! For example, I really disliked how Markov's kraken basically played them until it became clear, but I liked him when he sided with Magnus. Then it was Kelvin who was out of favour. Marvin's miracle birth was absolutely perfect for him and I can understand how it would raise questions for those who either don't want children at all or those that don't want them yet.
All in all, this was a great short read that has just made me want to return to their world again and again, but with longer stories. Definitely recommended by me.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Hi Vis High Tea by Frenzal Rhomb in Music
Sep 21, 2017
Twenty songs clocking in at just over thirty minutes – short and to the point. If you are remotely into three-part vocal harmonies paired with catchy and upbeat tunes and peppered with smart lyrics, this will be right up your alley.

Cinderella remade
A fun loving movie about a very rich and successful businessman who gets a prostitute to be his girlfriend for a short wile while he is in town. The usual story to follow man finds girl, man falls in love with girl, girl not interested in way man is interested, girl leaves man and finally man gets the girl.

Some good zombie characters (1 more)
Quite gory
Will make you feel like a zombie
Another game to film failure. I've not played the games which involves killing zombies in creative ways. Some short sections of the film are true to this. However overall it has a cheap made for TV feel to it. Should have gone more for a comedy horror angle.
BookCritics (259 KP) rated Lincoln in the Bardo in Books
May 16, 2017
Lincoln in the Bardo is an incredible first novel from a master of the short fiction format. The shared narration is reminiscent of a Greek chorus or a conversation, rendered on the page like the script of a play.
Critic- Melissa Ward
Original Score- 5 out of 5

Dean (6925 KP) rated Breaking Bad - Season 1 in TV

One to binge on
A great series overall. The first series was short and sweet around 7 episodes. It may take until the 3rd episode for you to be hooked but you will be. The scenarios the mix of characters get themselves into will make you laugh and grimace at the same time.

Not a bad track on the album (2 more)
Good mix of fast and slower songs
Amazing sounds
Short and sweet
It's not a long album but I don't think there is a track on it I would rate lower than a 6. Amazing guitar and drums playing. Good mix of slow, fast and faster songs. Topped off with the iconic Master of puppets track.
Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated An Honest Thief in Books
Jul 28, 2017
Simple straightforward fable
An easy read, contrary to many of Dostoyevsky's novels. The honest thief raises the question of whether it is fine to forgive or accept a lie in some circumstances especially when there are more important things to be worrying about.
Dostoyevsky's short stories are always a joy to read and listen because of the power of his storytelling.

Based on a Stephen King short story
Moving story
A great and very original film based on a Stephen King story. Also directed by the same director as @The Shawshank Redemption (1994). Also set within a Prison as a guard tells his story of working on Death row and the inmates he came across.
