Comment on Book Review: ‘Forgotten’ by Cat Patrick by Sara

Sara — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:30:55 +0000

I’ve been having a hard time writing this review. I enjoyed “Forgotten” by Cat Patrick while reading it, but as it came to an end, I found myself disengaging from the plot line. Ms. Patrick is a very talented writer and I hate to put a negative vibe out there because as I said, I did enjoy “Forgotten”, but the plot line was very ambitious and I just feel like it was missing…something. I’m not quite sure what that something is though. I enjoyed the ride and would definitely recommend it despite this weird hang up of mine.

“Forgotten” is such an interesting read and as I mentioned before, an ambitious concept. I really enjoyed watching London unravel her past without being able to access the memories locked in her mind. Ms. Patrick’s writing is splendid. She took on a lot with this novel and I think she handled it quite well. I fell in love with the characters and the romance between our heroine and Lucas. It’s just SO sweet. I absolutely love friendship based romance and this one is delightful. The book started to lose me towards the end, partially because I wanted to stay focused on Cat and her life rather than on the conflict presented. It wasn’t like Ms. Patrick’s writing wasn’t engaging (I cannot emphasize enough that this book is so well written!). I don’t know why… I’m just a weirdo.

Seriously, this book is really interesting and a great read for anyone who enjoys a good psychological drama and/or romance. It is unlike any other book on the market right now so read it for a complete change of pace. I’m sure you’ll love it!

Have a nice day,
Sara

Comment on Xbox 360 Review: WWE ’12 by Simon Rowson

I’d definitely recommend a rental first, or check out a friend’s copy if you can.

I had a lot of fun playing the single match modes and toying around with the custom character tools, and WWE fans might find the issues easier to overlook, but the larger game is too frustrating and problematic to recommend buying without trying it first.

Comment on TV Review: Skins: Series 5, Episode 8 – ‘Everyone’ by Al Russell

It’s a given that American shows are swill. They take anything remotely edgy or intellectual and strip it of any value. But we expect more from the Skins writers at this point. There was a charm and believability to the season one crew, even in the face of some pretty over the top melodrama. The characters felt like people we all knew at some point in our lives. The second generation slipped a little, in my opinion, but they had Cook, so I still hung around. This 5th season though, …SNORE. Sorry, but I just couldn’t get connected to these people. The entire season felt rushed and unfinished somehow. Great review. Said what I couldn’t quite put into words.

I’m going to have to disagree, personally I really enjoyed this series of skins. It gives a realistic view on peoples lives and how fucked up things can get. But I don’t think Matty and Franky should get together and hopefully they won’t… It would be nice to see another, (naomily) I thought it was really sweet, especially Naomi’s speech at the end of series 4.So let’s hope they bring in a ‘Minky’
