Erika (17788 KP) rated Murder on the Orient Express (2017) in Movies
Nov 26, 2017
I think that the best way to enjoy this film, is to completely ignore it's predecessors, and the book, and evaluate it solely on what's being presented. Because, of course the book was better than this.
The cast was stacked with talent, and they all did well. I did like Kenneth Branagh's directing, some of the shots were beautiful. His portrayal of Poirot was completely different, and I think that's what he was striving for. The only thing that really bothered me was that damn mustache.
Overall, I was entertained for the two hours, so I was alright with it.

First off let me say paranormal romance usually is not my thing. Now that being said I really enjoyed [Reyna Hawk's] [Angels & Arrows] because it was not a typical paranormal romance. Yes that was part of it but there was cultural history and excitement as well. None of the "Oh woe is me my vampire boyfriend left me I am going to curl up and die." Maria is a fighter. A bit of a pessimist but really a fighter. It takes a bit for her to learn to trust and have faith but when she does evil spirits better watch out.
Alison Pink (7 KP) rated "The President Has Been Shot!": The Assassination of John F. Kennedy in Books
Jan 15, 2018
This book does a great job of explaining the events that led up to JFK's assassination, the event itself, & the aftermath for the younger reader. There was no language that was over a younger reader's head. The topic was well researched and explained in easy to understand terms. It is definitely aimed at a younger audience who may not be familiar with that fateful day in November.
That being said, it was a good read. This topic has always held fascination for me and I am quick to read any book about it, no matter it's target audience.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Buried Secrets (Nick Heller, #2) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
I won this book as a First Reads giveaway on Goodreads. I had never read any of the Nick Heller series so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Let me begin by saying I was pleasantly surprised. The book is well written with deep, meaningful characters. It was filled with nonstop action and enough suspense for three books. I think I havediscovered a new favorite series! Nick Heller is comprable to Berry's Cotton Malone without being an obvious knock-off. I truly enjoyed this book & will be looking for more Joseph Finder books in the future.

A Decent Introduction to Amy Cross
This was the book that got me into Amy Cross, despite not being a fan of horror in general. Since reading this, I now have over a dozen of her books. She made a unique combination of the fantasy and horror genres with this book. One of her stranger books, but a good read over all.

When Badger takes Rabbit on a little adventure the light going on and off create a mystery which can only end in,... SURPRISE! This simple book aimed at the young listener and reader is ideal for the build-up to a birthday or for a child who has a fear of the dark as well as a general, good fun read with others. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the small details secreted away in the illustrations and encourage your youngsters to explore a different point of view of the story that is being told through them.

Twisted and dark
Deliciously dark and macabre
While this is not my usually fantasy book to pick up, I found myself being drawn into the nightmare unable to look away. The characters, while not very likeable, are interesting, and you do care where their story will end. It's been compared to Goremenghast, which I haven't read so can't compare, but it is well written. It's gothic steampunk, grim, dark fantasy, melancholic tragedy with horror sprinkled on top. I loved it and felt sad I'd finished it, but couldn't wait to get the next in the series.
