David McK (3547 KP) rated Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales in Books
Jan 30, 2019
One of the classics of English literature, this short story is also by the same author who wrote "Treasure Island" (amongst others).
What I found interesting, though, is in how Mr Hyde is described within: unlike the malformed gaint monstrosity that is familiar form TV and film, Hyde is actually described as younger than Jekyll and of a lesser stature, while still projecting an aura of evil.

Thanks to NetGalley and Hachette books for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I found this book delightful. It was easy to understand without being condescending and has really cute illustrations.
The vignettes are short and sweet and the book is packed with information.
I would definitely recommend this book to animal lovers with a good sense of humor.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated With Wicked Intent: Haunted House (The Haunting of Briar Park Book 2) in Books
Jul 16, 2019
This was over before I even knew it and my heart is threatening to pound straight through my chest. Why do I persist in reading these things right before bedtime is a mystery to me but man, this short story was fantastic and packs one heck of a fright. I am completely enthralled with the authors and look forward to devouring more of these books.

The Yellow Wallpaper is an exquisitely written short story that captures perfectly the feelings of anxiety. It is hard to say that I enjoyed reading this story only because the feelings of reading it leave you filled with a sick anxiety. You cannot help but feel along with the main character. This is a beautiful story that I would highly recommend giving a read.
AT (1676 KP) rated Twenty-One Truths About Love in Books
Dec 12, 2019
This novel was nothing that I was expecting. I just expected another light love story, but this book turned out to be a very enjoyable, often funny read. The fact that it was written as lists was also interesting, because the story really came together, even though the details were in short lists of information. I really had a good time reading this book!

I really enjoyed the book. It was well rounded for a short story. Basically, without going into too much detail it’s the story of a fisherman who finds a pearl that changes beyond recognition and shows the evil and greed that jealousy causes. Even though you get a sense early on that it won’t end well for Kino and Juana, the last page is a shocker.

Mar 26, 2020
My first movie on Disney + and won't be the last I liked bit to short at 75 mins long but it was a good idea having a mouse as Sherlock Holmes and it works Vincent notice as the villian a role made for him no one could have voiced him with such mence And humour anyway good start to my movie watch on Disney +

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Horrible Histories: The Movie (2019) in Movies
Aug 6, 2019
While it’s all silly observational gags and short musical numbers, something the TV adaptations thrived on for a shorter run time, you can’t help feel this soon runs out of movie material and limps along, back and forth from character to character trying to squeeze as much comedy as they can from their scenes.
