Billie Wichkan (118 KP) rated But I Didn't Kill You!: Danny Played Football in Books
May 22, 2019
The events of a typical Autumn Friday night rock a typical small town American family to the core as tragedy strikes them from out of nowhere. Will their lives survive this ordeal as they change from a functional to dysfunctional family? This event has changed and altered their direction, but will this be permanent? The ways the family deals with the loss of a loved one can either make them stronger or crush them in their hope for their small town future. The bonds of love and friendship are stretched to see how far they can go. Will the development of the surviving sibling's progress with growth or be stifled as the family dynamic is pushed to the edge? One's concept of justice is put to the test and their faith in God may never be the same. Actions, reactions and their consequences are exposed for you to see but don't judge too harshly. You may agree or disagree with their actions but ask yourself, if you were in their situation, would you do the same?
This is a very sad story. Good but also difficult to read as it is true to life for some.
It is good for a YA to read as maybe it would get the message across to them of how precious and short life can be.
The writing is simple and direct, making for easy reading.
I read a PDF of tis book I received from the author.

Phenomenally good adaptation
It's worth remembering, every time you're tempted to think "this could never happen", that Margaret Atwood didn't include anything in her book that hadn't already happened somewhere in the world. So yes, it can and did happen somewhere, and could and may happen again if we don't learn the lessons of history.
The book has been superbly dramatised and features a strong cast who bring the story to its full, horrific life. There are few things I would ever characterise as a must-watch, but this is definitely one of them. Either the series or the book should be compulsory texts for 16 year olds.

A year later still going
I've had this game for a couple of years. Love designing my garden and the different challenges you can join. The levels are sometimes really difficult and others super easy.
I will fade in and out of playing it a lot of the time, but will always return to it.
The flower challenge can be annoying as you have to use your unlimited time when you get it and I end up wasting half of it due to life getting in the way. Damn being an adult.

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very intriguing idea the whole nature/nurture thing but for some reason a lot of times the book just fell flat for me. There were a few moments where Addie's notions about life were challenged and I would have loved to see him interacting more with these ideas and technology.
Addie's is great for an unlikable narrator. Maybe a little too good? I don't exactly get the feeling that he'd actually changed that much by the end of the book.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Assassination Nation (2018) in Movies
Sep 7, 2019
A bit of an odd film. It's not as cool, edgy or shocking as it thinks it is. A small town called Salem goes all Purge crazy after hackers release everyone's phone and intertnet data. The first half is pretty slow but once the town is in meltdown it becomes more interesting. A bit of social commentary on how people behave and act online in comparison to real life underlies the film. Didn't quite reach the high levels in getting it across to make it particularly memorable. You might like it if you liked the Purge but it's not as good as the first Purge film.

Merissa (14188 KP) rated The Secret of Isobel Key (Isobel Key #1) in Books
Apr 3, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
This book is about Lou, a currently unemployed person who has no idea what to do with her life, and a surprise vacation to Scotland. Intermingled with modern day Scotland, we have the Scotland of the 1500's and specifically Isobel Key. I loved how the story was intertwined and things from the past had relevance in the 'here and now'. I also enjoyed how Lou grew and changed as the story goes along and becomes more self-confident. Intriguing story and with a splash of mystery and romance. Really enjoyed it.
