Star Wars: Captain Phasma

Kelly Thompson | 2017 | Comics & Graphic Novels

6.4

(5 Ratings)

Book Rating

Lead-in comic mini-series to "The Last Jedi", following Captain Phasma's disappointing showing (i.e didn't do much, then got sent down a garbage chute) in "The Force Awakens".

This, effectively, is about how she covers her failings and works her way back into The First Order, covering her tracks and using another escapee from the now-explodeed StarKiller base as her fall guy.

While the art - like all the recent Marvel Star Wars issues - is good, the story, however, leaves a lot to be desired: there's nothing really memorable about this, now real 'wow' moment (like there was in '[b:Vader Down|27247275|Vader Down (Star Wars)|Jason Aaron|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462909901s/27247275.jpg|47296344]';) to make it stick in the mind.

In short: forgettable.

Amazing!

I first started watching this on Netflix and I could not stop! You think it's just some stalker that is interested in this girl and it's a bit creepy, but then he takes it to another level and follows every aspect of her life.
Then they meet, and it all changes.

I did binge watch this and would recommend this. I didn't think it was going to count for much but it got to the end and I wanted more.

I really don't want to spoil at all so I will end this short on saying this is the best show I have watched in a long time... The way the show starts, the middle, the end..it's just fantastic.

Uncommon Type: Some Stories

Tom Hanks | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Rating

This is a collection of short stories that have been crafted by the Oscar winning Mr Hanks over the past twenty years. Each story has a connection to one of those nostalgic machines, a typewriter. The style of prose is very Hanks, you can hear his voice in the expression of his characters. There is warmth, gentleness and an essence of reality that leads you to believe that, despite all his worldly success, Hanks remains grounded and likeable. Whilst this isn’t the best example of prose, it has a lot to offer, if you are a fan of Hanks then this is an insightful, pleasant read. I listened to some of the stories on audio and thoroughly enjoyed hearing them told by the man himself.

Debbiereadsbook (1472 KP) rated The Mischievous Maids of Master Marius: A Collection of Erotic Flash Fiction in Books

Aug 1, 2019

not enough for me

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book

Ten maids to Master Marius tell their story, identified only by the job and the colour of their underwear.

This was an easy read, erotic flash fiction, 49 pages. It didn't do very much for me, though, and I found 9 stories almost identical. The tenth is different in the the Maid is in control, rather than Marius but there was still the reference to her colour underwear, and what she felt about the other maids.

It was reasonably well written, and delivers what it claims to be: short erotic fiction.

It just wasn't ENOUGH for me, but I did finish it.
