Alice in Brexitland

The main character of this book is, of course, Alice, but this one is very interested in politics, and trying to figure out those strange creatures, which she meets during her travels in this strange place called Brexitland. This book is a political retelling of classic “Alice in Wonderland” using British politicians and Donald Trump (Trumpty Dumpty). Alice is very confused in this book because all the characters talk a lot of nonsense, and when a child tries to correct them, they pour another load of nonsense.

I really liked the story itself, it has some fun twists in it and it is incredibly funny. I don’t remember when the last time I read a book with such great illustrations and silly songs. This book looks like children’s book, but it is an adult read. (well, kids can colour in the pictures if you like). Even though this book is a humoresque read, it has some great deep political monologues in it as well.

I really enjoyed this book, and through humoresque writing, it showed, that British politics is one big, messy hotpot. So if you interested in politics and fed up with those serious debates, grab it, read it, enjoy it, and give it to your kids to do some colouring. Everybody wins! 🙂
  
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons - The Movie (2020)
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons - The Movie (2020)
2020 | Action, Adventure, Animation
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons bring us a look at a backstory of this rather complicated and probably one of DC’s most controversial characters and DC Animated Movies has certainly brought a real comic book feeling to the movie, there are several scenes that the colouring has a “crosshatch” look to it that keeps our feet firmly on the comic book ground.

Story-wise the movie moves along nicely to keep you watching as Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) kick backsides in an action-packed animated movie, Sung Jin Ahn (Niko and the Sword of Light) directs the film from a script by J.M. DeMatteis (Superman: Red Son, Batman: Bad Blood). Sam Register, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter serve as executive producers.
