Apr 19, 2019

PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS in a fun and enjoyable format, Cast chemistry is incredible, Comedic timing of each actor is on point, fun to watch, fun to explore with each character, Kristen Bell (0 more)

Short seasons, wait between seasons (0 more)

The G.O.A.T. of Sitcoms!

The above go for each season. This season was no different. It made some incredible points about the complexity of life and how it's almost impossible to be "good". We see the evolution of the cast from absurd charactures of common sitcom archetypes into fully fleshed out complex individuals with deeper motivations and desires. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 10/10 Will always be the greatest sitcom of all time to us! Also, Kristen Bell, need I say more?

You will not want to miss this book

If this is just book one i cannot wait to carry on reading the rest of the series... it had everything in it, a new discovery, a dark handsome yet unobtainable Ice Prince within a love triangle including Meghan's (main character) best friend, life threatening situations and even heart break!!! This book is one you will not want to put down until you've finished it and even after that your hands will be itching to pick up the next one. Seriously do not miss out; if you love a good fantasy romance then this is most definitely not one to ignore!!

I had read a brief synopsis of this novel online, and wanted to try it out. I wasn't 100% sure what to expect, besides possibly weird. I enjoyed it. It's a short novel, but it's a good slice-of-life story, set in an old western-type of environment. It's sci fi, being set in a futuristic world, as far as regulations and how the government is running things. But the journey that the characters have to take is like an old western type of story. I enjoyed the growth of the main character in the short amount of time that she was given in this novel. It was an entertaining, quick read.

Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated Helmand to the Himalayas: One Soldier's Inspirational Journey in Books

Nov 6, 2019

Since the beginning of this year, 2015, I have been researching British and American forces in order to write a realistic theatre production, that will be based in Afghanistan 2009.
2009 became known as the, "bloodiest year in Afghanistan," after seeing the death of 100 British Soldiers. During the past seven months, I have read a fair amount of life-stories based in Afghanistan/Iraq. A good narration allows for a good visual effect that takes place in ones mind. David Wiseman allowed me to do that. His descriptive voice allowed me to place myself in his situation. It was scary. It was very scary. Throughout his book I have; thought, visualised, learned, laughed, cried and, ultimately, became inspired by his strength and determination. You have my utmost respect!

I have rated this book 5/5. You don't need to wonder why. Just read it!

Adore Life by Savages

2016 | Alternative

Album Favorite

"Like I said, I think you're only as good as your last creative output, and I think Adore Life is even better than Savages' first album. I got to see them when they were touring this record live last summer as we shared a few festival bills, and they're just phenomenal. Their show absolute punk rock & roll, but dirgey in the way you feel you've drunk too much iowaska, yet you're just at a gig. Their music is hypnotic, it's trance inducing, and Jehnny Beth is just the embodiment of rock & roll, one of the few hopes we have in British music at the moment. What I love is that so many people got behind it, yet it's still such an uncompromising album. It's work to listen to this record, you're not going to put it on and immediately have a good time, and that's important. We need challenging records."

Great storyline (0 more)

Rushed ending (0 more)

As mentioned in the first season, the story follows Emerson Cod, a private investigator; Charlotte Charles, Ned's childhood sweetheart brought back from the dead by Ned; and Ned, who has the ability to bring the dead back to life for one minute before something else takes its place.

Each episode entails all kinds of quirky murder mysteries in which Ned, Emerson, and Charlotte must solve together. As the season progresses, we learn more about each character and other sub characters such as Olive Snook.

We see Emerson in his flight to get in contact with his long lost daughter, Charlotte who tricks Ned into bringing her deceased father back to life, Olives unrequited love with Ned, and Ned who can never touch his only true, Charlotte, love again.

However, I will warn you, the series end kind of abruptly. The contract for a third series, for some reason, was cancelled meaning everything had to be tied up at the end when it should not have. It is rather unfortunate because it is such a good series.
