Sonofdel (6291 KP) rated More Than Just a Good Life in Books

Feb 8, 2021

informative, easy to read, funny (0 more)

Wonderful, Light hearted, in-depth

When you think of Richard Briers, if like me you were born in the early seventies, then you will always associate him with The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles. Reading this book i found out that he was so much more than just situation comedy actor. From his early childhood days selling cigarettes and comics to appearing in films with such legendary actors as Robert De Niro and Denzel Washington this book covers it all. It also tells the background story of his family life, which opens him up to be a more complex character than you can imagine. A fantastic read and definitely up there with the best i have read :)

The comics can be a little hard to get out of the skipcase

Excessive use can damage the slipcase if not careful

A gripping and scary series!

The slipcase edition contains all 6 paperback volumes in the main Locke and Key series.

It follows the tale of the Locke family who have moved to Keyhouse.

This series sees horror, grief, magic and good vs evil in a gipping storyline that keeps you on the edge of you seat all the way through.

I would 100% recommend this to both new and old graphic novel lovers looking for their next adventure to read.

miss use of characters

dodgy plot

Hit and miss start to a roller coaster series

At the time my excitement for a blockbuster Marvel film was off the chart waiting for this film, in the end it never really delivered. It does a decent job of introducing a cinema audience to these superheroes but I think for the fans of Marvel comics it left us slightly disappointed. There was some excellent casting choices made in Jackman, Stewart, McKellen and Ashmore, however some of the other choices were terrible. This could have been the start of something so much however in reality was probably a high point in an overall disappointing series of films.
