Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated The Struggle Trilogy in Books
Jan 12, 2018
{The Struggle Trilogy] by [Nelson Lowhim] was a bit of a struggle to read. The characters lack depth and that made them difficult to follow. On the other hand, the author does a good job portraying the animosity and confusion that exists in a war zone from all parties.
It could have had a clearer purpose which would have made it easier to read and to follow the action in the story. All the characters were hit and miss; unfortunately there was not much to them.
I enjoyed it but not as much as I was hoping to.

This boom contains essays which analyze the Hunger Games trilogy from many different viewpoints. It discusses everything from society, to decadence, to reality television and how these aspects of our culture are represented within the series. For the most part the essaya were very well written and researched. A few of them made me think about the books on a deeper level. At the same time though some of them began to sound the same.
If you are a fan of the series you will enjoy the perspectives presented in this collection. Just don't expect too much.

They should've left Bourne alone
The original Bourne trilogy are possibly some of the best spy films I've ever seen. This was followed up by Legacy which wasn't great, so I was hoping with Matt Damon back, we might see a decent return for Jason Bourne. Sadly this wasn't the case. The whole film just seemed lacking in any intrigue or excitement, and there was a constant sense of having done all of it before. Despite having a great cast, nobody really excelled and even Damon looked pretty bored throughout. They really shouldn't have bothered with this one!
Enjoyable Read
I really enjoyed this. It was different, exciting and freaky. The characters were great and it had enough violence to keep me entertained :-) Great book. Personally I would have picked Stalker as the love interest because he's so similar to Deuce and they just 'fit' for me. If I had any faults I would say that it isn't suitable for young adults, as it is very violent and hints on themes that aren't really suitable for that age group. I've just finished the second one and loved it! Bring on the Horde :) So far a great trilogy.

Nearly the perfect ending for this trilogy. What started as a story about an abnormal boy and the lost dragon he adopts is now a story of leadership and growing up. Hiccup is the chief of his clan of Vikings who now live harmously with dragons in Berk. After an unsuccesful kidnapping of valuable dragons, pirates hire a powerful dragon hunter who wants to kill the last Nightfury. Using the distraction of a mysterious Lightfury, he displaces the village of Berk and kidnaps Toothless. Both Hiccup and Toothless learn that leadership requires tough choices that influence human history forever.

The final in a wonderfully written trilogy this story brings together some of my favorite things. Reliance on someone that you barely know and fighting for what you believe in while conquering yourself. While I did get a tad bored through some of it most of the book follows the same format and writing style as the first two. This makes it an easy read that can be done all in one sitting. You will find yourself swept into the world and enjoying the main characters while rooting for them.
Perfect for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia.

Hana Wilsei (7 KP) rated Coffin Road in Books
Jan 19, 2018 (Updated Jan 19, 2018)
The MCs of this book are simply not as likably as Fin MacLeod of The Lewis Trilogy. For most of this book, the MC (the one in 1st person) is unsure of who he is, though it seems obvious that he is related to another MC. As someone who experienced traumatic amnesia, I know that the character's amnesia is well done, but as a reader I didn't like it--it lasted too long. This was a good read, just not as thrilling as his other books.

A brilliant film and great ending....for now at least to this trilogy. Dark, gritty and brutal it doesn't feel like a comic book action hero film. It's more a harsh crime thriller! I thought Anne Hathaway was well cast as Catwoman as is Tom Hardy as Bane. The only problem I had was understanding everything Bane said through his face mask, at times the voice doesn't seem to match the villain? Only small minor gripes though, still I have to add The Dark Knight is still my favourite of the 3 with this a close second.
Join Jack, May, and Phillip as they journey through this alternative take on fairy tales. All the characters you know are here, and help or keep our trio from completing their quest to save their kingdom from an evil plot.
All three books in the series are in this set, and they are all compelling reads. You'll want to read them all back to back. There's action, great characters, plot twists, and sarcasm. You can't go wrong.
