Scooby-Doo with a more mature feel
When I found this book while looking for something new to read, I was so excited. It’s described as being similar to Scooby-Doo, which is one of my favorite cartoons. The cover was really cool as well. It did not disappoint. It definitely has a Scooby-Doo feel with some references like the Zoinx river. The cast of characters was similar to that of the mystery inc. gang but with new names and some other changes. It’s a bit more mature with its subject matter, but still holds true to that childish humor and adventure that you would expect from the show. For some, the made up and combined words placed throughout the book might make them dislike it, but I think it added that special, somewhat chaotic charm that Scooby-Doo has. I would love a second book.

Action man
A hard hitting action packed gritty and violent movie that goes full adrenaline junkie in a very short time, that even when the plot slows, it isn't for long and doesn't feel any slower.
The movie is very 'John Wick' with its melee combat which is a bonus & Hemsworth has nicely shrugged off the thor status and adjusted to action star nicely.
Although an excellent movie it isn't without its downside, in this case it's the lack of dialogue/communication between the "hero team" during an extraction which felt a little odd in my opinion.

Plot:Chris hemsworth stars as A black-market mercenary who is hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned powerful crime lord. But in the chaotic underworld of weapons dealers and drug traffickers, another brush with death is just around the corner.
