I like Dave Batista. This role served him and his strengths reasonably well.

Plot was SUPER predictable (which is fine, there's only so much you can do with this type of trope). Acting was better than average.

Here's my issue with this movie...it's allegedly a family movie. I'm no prude by any means. With that being said, when I want to watch a movie with my younger children I don't want there to be several references of "Jesus Christ" and "Bitch" (especially being spoken by a nine year old) throughout the entire movie. ESPECIALLY when they are adding NOTHING to the story or the context. I personally feel that if you are going to gear and market a movie as a family friendly adventure then that is what you should provide. I have nothing against people who do things however they do with their own children. I'm not that guy. But know the audience you are allegedly marketing to. That's only reasonable.

Again, I'm not a prude, I just felt like it rubbed me the wrong way.

This book tells the life story of this great astronomer from his birth to the end of his days. However, this book is written in a quite simple and understandable language, that curious children could process. I think to enjoy this book, the child needs to know a little bit of physics and be interested in space and black holes. This book not only shares the parts of Stephen’s life but also explains his discoveries, that are quite technical. I really liked the illustrations in this novel, they make the whole book less textbook-like and more enjoyable to read.

As an adult, I really liked the knowledge I was able to gather from this book. Stephen Hawking was a charismatic, funny, and intelligent person, and I respect his bravery and strength. I was very happy and inspired by his inventions and personality, and I think not only children, but adults should familiarise themselves with this incredible person’s life and achievements. Do give this book a go, and hopefully, the next generation can continue his great work. 🙂

Boy From Berlin is a well-written story of a family. It tells the story of a boy and his family journey from Nazi Germany. What a compelling tale. It is great for children to learn about Berlin and what happens to Jews during Hitler's time.

The way this takes us on Kafer's journey from Berlin to England. Young readers will enjoy the adventure. They will also learn about what it was like to be Jew or some escaped from Hitler. You are pulled along with Kafer and his family. I was having a hard time turning the pages. There are surprises and twists throughout the book.

This was historical fiction read but it great for any historical fan. It one that I would recommend to pick up for middle-grade children and readers. Great for young readers as well. If you are into spies and World War 2 then this is a good book to pick and read. It is based on the true story of Kafer and his family. Though there is some fiction to it.
