Pretty good
So I've seen the first Purge and enjoyed it enough to be interested in the second one. Turned out to be pretty good. The acting, cinematography and story were very well done. Interesting take on how the "rich" participate in the purge. Smh. Anyway, if you enjoyed the first Purge movie you'll enjoy this one. Worth a watch.
Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated The Poor Little Rich Girl in Books
Jun 18, 2018
The Poor Little Rich Girl by Eleanor Gates is a wonderful story. The story has an older feel to it. I like Gwendolyn's seven year old ponderings to the confusing adult phrases thrown her way. Sometimes I felt sorry about Gwendolyn because of her loneliness.
This book made me realized how important it is to value your children while you have them. Children want and crave our time and attention, along with our love above all else.
I received this book from Dover Publications via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Jessica Erdas (463 KP) rated Where the Red Fern Grows in Books
May 16, 2018
My fascination with this book began with a required reading assignment. Since then, I have read this book over at least 5 different times. The story is rich and realistic, so easy to get lost in. There's a certain comfort in the sadness of the main character and in all that he does. Everyone and their mother should read this book at least once in their lifetime.
AT (1676 KP) rated The Wedding of Popeye & Olive in Books
Nov 25, 2018 (Updated Nov 25, 2018)
The Wedding of Popeye and Olive had all of the main characters in it, plus a rich ex of Olive's that wanted to steal her away. She was kidnapped, and Bluto tried to get her back at the same time as Popeye. The story was short, cute, and stayed true to the Popeye characters. However, the illustrations were more modernized. I wasn't a huge fan of that change.

emotional
Not your typical war story
The characters in this book are rich, interesting, and wily. I say wily because at points in the book you hate them, but then they change, and you grow to love them. This story really makes you think about people differently. It's written with great subtlety and almost lyrically - very beautiful, poetic and quotable in places.
If you want a fast read, this book is not for you. If you only like happy endings this book is not for you. If you don't like experimental fiction, this book is not for you.

One prize.....12 fighters......only one will survive!
Ok so I happened to stumble upon this, as a fan of combat sports the cover caught my attention. The film is a British, hard hitting round by round, tournament fight fest, with plenty of action, blood and intensity.
My only problem is that the story is a little too weak although rich people betting on a single fighter doesn't really need explaining.
Winning fighter loots £500,000.
This is something I recommend viewers watch at least once if your able to find it.

Mar 9, 2018
Rumors of Yeshua and His healing power have reached a leper colony. Some of them venture outside to find Him and bring Him back. Will He come heal the rest? Will it be in time? The characters are rich and deep, which makes the climax powerful, but the story does drag at times.
