This book was for a younger audience however I did enjoy it. It was easy reading and reminded me of my days at school. So I would say the intended audience was probably teenagers who are going through school. They would probably be really able to relate. I would recommend this book to this audience.
The blurb grabbed my attention but it was a shame the story didn't end when the book did. I wanted to read the full details of how Ray became disabled as we were only teased with a bit of information about it in this book. The books are only available on Amazon and I have a Kobo so am unable to read them. Kobo do not support Amazon books.
The author's writing helped each character have their own personality which helped distinguish each character. Their personalities shone though.
The character's changed slightly throughout the book. This looks to be all down to Ray but also people change as they go through the school year and when new people come into their friendship group.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
  
The Last Tycoon
The Last Tycoon
2017 | Drama
This new Tycoon, by Amazon Studios and Tri-Star Television, is a winner on all counts. For admirers of Fitzgerald’s book – not to mention those who think “they don’t make them like they used to” – this show is a must-see.
Critic - Michael Troyan
Original Score: 4 out of 5

Starlink: Battle for Atlas
Starlink: Battle for Atlas
2018 | Action/Adventure
'There's a nice mindless blaster with lots of colour and energy. But it's a bit hidden by busywork in the menus, endless upgrading and meter-watching on the planetary surface, shameless creative borrowings in the art department - and hefty bills at the Amazon checkout.'

A Great 'Escape'
Meltzer opens the novel with an interesting twist, and the turns and twists keep coming. He is able to write an intriguing thriller and keep us interested in the characters as well. This novel sold so many copies that in its third week after the release, Amazon ran out of copies.

Watchable but not binge worthy
This in Amazon Prime and they do continually plug this through the episodes which comes out weekly so the whole series is not out yet. Not sure which came first this one or an English version on Netflix called Next in Fashion (already reviewed) but this one is not as good. In case England have the better show.

Ok low budget Horror
Another low budget Horror film available on Amazon prime. Not a bad premise as a couple of girls rig up a Horror house to get revenge on a group of girls from their sorority. Better than many low budget films of this type. It has ok gore effects considering. One for Horror fans who don't mind a low budget.

Watched today on Amazon prime it wasn't bad movie I've seen worser movies based on old TV shows and I've actually seen the original TV show few times during the eighties and this movie is a lot darker bit like saw in places. The acting was okay could have done with some more gore anyway good couple of hours viewing

Been watching on Amazon prime first time I've seen this in 36 years liked it back when I was 14 years loving the action the plot. Now I've watched now and now I find way too cheesy don't get me wrong it still has its charm as 80s low budget conan ripoff I would definitely rewatch it again
