Andrew Sinclair (25 KP) rated The Good Place in TV
Nov 23, 2019
The Good Place is a fun, silly and surreal sit-com about redemption. It is set in an after life where only good people go. But the main character is not a particularly good person and realises she doesn't belong there. This realisation takes her on a journey of self-improvement so can stay in The Good Place. However there is a mind-blowing twist at the end of season one that changes everything. It's a rare thing to have a thought provoking sitcom.

Dustin Hoffman Masterclass
From the period of Hoffman's career when he could do no wrong. His portrayal of a man from youth to extreme old age is riveting. Never dull for a minute and very educational / thought provoking. Has dated some, especially in it's own political subtext, but still something of a little seen classic. If you like Dancing With Wolves and or Mr. Nobody, give it a try!

The Sowing Season by Katie Powner was like getting that first taste of fresh hot chocolate, you want to go slow to savor it, but you also want to drink it all down Because it tastes so good. That is what this book felt like for me, it was so good I wanted to savor it, but I also wanted to see the ending. A book theme this year has been books that make you think, and I have been LOVING it. The Sowing Season fits right in, but also stand out from the crowd.
This story was deep and thought-provoking in ways many books are not. It touched my mind and heart and I loved how Katie Powner showed the characters through real life, the ups and downs, and everything in between. I also enjoyed how the characters lived out their faith. A fantastic debut novel. Now I am looking forward to what other deep thought-provoking books that Katie Powner has in store.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

intriguing & holds your attention (2 more)
incredibly interesting, especially (as the documentary points out) as there had been no experiment of its kind since a failed NASA attempt in 1984
eye opening and thought provoking, challenging the current system and design of our aeroplanes
* although i genuinely believe this is due to the lack of scientific experimentation of this kind that has been done (unsurprising given the fact that these experiments cost millions and a slight mistake can ruin the entire trial, rendering it useless)

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Breaking Point (Article 5, #2) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Kristen Simmons] continues the extraordinary dystopian story of Chase and Ember in [Breaking Point]. The concepts of what the US government has become in these books is nightmarish. The evolution of the characters who are coming of age in these books is thought provoking. It was hard for me to put the book down because I became so engaged with Ember and Chases struggle. I recommend this book for anyone who likes a well paced story with engaging characters. I will also recommend these books for my school library.

Wonderful
This story is one that sticks with you, I feel a different way every time I watch it and not many stories do that, this is based on the real life of a real man who got to love his dream, it is inspiring, thoughtful and powerful despite the debates of Christopher being a spoilt rich kid, he really does see life in a way that most can only dream of and that makes the impact of the movie all the more great.
