The magic starts here
I can't remember when I started reading Harry Potter, but this book started a lifelong love of reading. Even rereading this story as an adult, the magic is still there from the beginning to the end.

Very very good, yes it is probably for kids but as an adult I loved it. It is a mixture of Goosebumps and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It has the right amount of spookiness for children and some funny moments too. Will watch again and again and certainly one to remember. Loved it

So much potential, but so much fail.

Cons:
Way too much vulgarity (tons of swearing, some adult content)
No depth of characters
I wish there were better world-building
I wish there were a more defined problem & solution (more definable problem could lead to a better ending)

Pros:
Cool ideas, even if poorly executed

Environmental message
This is one of the my childhood favourites. As an adult I now realise the importance of the message of this film - the effects of deforestation and the uses of fossil fuels on the environment. I love Tim Curry as the voice of Hexus and I especially love his song.

While she is not one of my favorite authors, she is a good read. I must give her credit for how well her stories are pulling in young adult readers. I have one that struggles to find novels that really pull him in, and Victoria Aveyard managed to capture him for all of the series.
