Wonderful, honestly!!
I am so enjoying this series. I've tried to steer clear of reading series recently. I'm following a couple already, and the wait for the next book in those series is excruciating! So here I am, at the end of book 2, and I have to wait until next year for the third! Ah well. Anyway, I loved everything about this book: the storyline, the characters, the world building. It's brilliant. Well worth a read.

Sorry To Bother You (2018) has nothing to apologise for. #Review
Boots Riley’s absurdist, pitch-black satire may just end up becoming one of the most important and resonant films of our time. Not because its concerned particularly with the topical venality of Trumpism and the ongoing corruption of western political discourse but because it looks beyond these deplorable but ultimately transient phases at the bigger societal picture and savages the superficiality of a social media-driven world sleepwalking into a voluntary corporatocracy....

Great Sfx (1 more)
Cool set designs
Slightly different but still fun
After seeing some of the trailers I wasn't sure how this would pan out. The whole weaponising Dinosaurs from the first Jurassic World seemed like a thin plot line. At the end of the day it still boils down to escaping more Dinos on the run.
The Sfx are very good and there is plenty of tension as the characters get in various states of peril. Overall maybe not quite as good as the first one but if you are a fan of Jurassic Park, you'll happily sink your teeth into this!

Wow! Just wow! This book was beautifully written. It is so full of heartbreak & evil but in the end the fact that love is what remained makes it beautiful. It felt so real, I don't doubt that there are women out there that did what Vianne & Isabelle did. They are 2 brave sisters who risk everything to help make the world a better place despite being surrounded by all the horrors of WWII. It has been a long time since I cried like I did at the end of a book. I'd have to stop reading several times in the last few chapters because I was so moved. What a beautiful story!
