Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2097 KP) rated First Light (A.D. Chronicles, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The series kicks off our trip back to the final year of Yeshua's life as we meet many characters in need of Jesus. At times, the info about the life of Jews in the First Century slows down the book, but it is still a good read.

Dean (6925 KP) rated Wyatt Earp (1994) in Movies
Mar 7, 2018
An epic western charting the life of Wyatt Earp. Very long at over 3 hours and the first hour is a bit slow. It has a good cast and production and finally the action towards the end is pretty good. However if you have seen Tombstone the ending is very similar but I felt that was a slightly better movie. If you're not keen on westerns go for Tombstone instead.

Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Clara in Books
Apr 10, 2018
A translated French graphic novel, Clara is a little girl whose life is turned upside down. Told from her point of view, the sense of confusion is real with the reader having to work out what has happened to the little girl's life along with her and that journey tugs on the heart-strings of even the most callous reader. The gift of the doll starts off this confusion, the reader will understand the significance of the gift from an adults perspective but be wrenched by Clara's reaction to it. A good read, a good thought provoking narrative, a story that is likely to stay with you for many years.

A Great Feel Good Movie
Although this film doesn't reflect the reality of P.T Barnum's life; it misses out some of the darker elements to this story, I think the empowering message of this film, combined with fantastic songs and magical visuals, will put a smile on your face.
BookInspector (124 KP) rated Ava (2020) in Movies
Dec 13, 2020
Very good acting.
I loved the actors chosen for this film. They very different and I loved watching their interactions. I think the plot was quite rushed though. I would love to know more about Ava and her life story, her life seems very traumatising, and the whole picture could be done only from snippets shared by other characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the fight scenes.
Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Night Country (The Hazel Wood #2) in Books
Jan 31, 2020
A good story that does not quite live up to its predecessor. I enjoyed the writing style, which is very descriptive and engaging. The narrator of the audiobook does a good job with the pace and cadence, bringing the characters and story to life. There was a lot of introspection on the part of the protagonist and the murder investigation subplot, while a bit mundane later becomes important; even so, too little, too late. I wish more time had been expended on delving into some aspects of the story that would have been much more interesting. All in all, a good sequel.
