Decent story

This had the promise of being a really good story with a slight fantasy element to it but it just didn't seem to pull it off for me. The characters were a little strange and hard to follow, and the flow was a little off but the descriptions were vivid and brought the world to life and I liked that there were such diverse range of characters in the story.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2336 KP) rated The Disappearing Jewel of Madagascar (Accidental Detectives, #2) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Ricky doesn't believe in curses until he touches a neighbor's cursed jewel. Next thing he knows, he has a huge debt to pay off and his friends aren't listening to his theories about the strange things happening in town. Once again, there are good twists to the mystery, great characters, and some fun humor.

It starts off kind of strange but u really have no clue why this is happening (0 more)

Was ok I mean it's nothing u haven't seen to much of did have some suprises.

It was ok unusual surprises, different, from movies that are close to this but still a little similar. The ending of the movie makes little sense there's not a reason or motive.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Jane Austen Out of the Blue in Books

Dec 21, 2018

Even now I've finished it, I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. It's a sequel of sorts to Sanditon, but includes other Austen characters and even the shade of the author herself, following her death. Nothing happens as you might expect and there's not really a very strong narrative drive through it. On one level I think it serves as a disection of the novel as a literary form. Strange.

Weird, just weird

1st time that I've watched one of the Studio Ghibli films and I've got to be honest it wasnt my cup of tea. Bit like the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, with a different storyline arc. Very strange and a bit of a mind trip.
Like I say, not for me, but lots of people love it. 8/9 for some. Just a 6 for me
