Fantastic graphics, big budget Hollywood film
This film is a guilty pleasure of mine when I'm desperate to watch an apocalyptic film. It's much more intelligent than your run of the mill brainless action movie given that it is based on Al Gore's book about the reversal of the Gulf Stream.

That being said, it is still a Hollywood big budget movie so don't expect intelligent dialogue or anything particularly well explained. The graphics are phenomenal and the moment the eye of the storm freezes everything in sight still gives me shivers down my spine.

Not bad for a sit back and contemplate the end of the world kind of film.

A must read!
It took me longer than usual to read this book purely because I didn't want it to end, so I had to keep putting it down just to savour it!
Neil Gaiman's writing style is on point in this book, it draws you right into the story. Gaiman makes you fall in love with the protagonists, and passionately hate the antagonists. He makes you question the loyalty of certain characters, and trust the ones you should have been questioning all along. Gaiman makes you feel like you are right there in London below with them.

This whole book is fantastic, the concept, the characters, the writing, the beginning; the middle; and the end. It's one of those books you never want to end, never want to put down, and could read over and over again.

I was skeptical at first but in the end this book blew all of my expectations away. The world building, character, and story are so well written you can see yourself there. You develop connections to characters and root for them. Hope is flawed and relatable but grows so much. Her story and those of the others are relatable and heartbreaking.
The cover is gorgeous but what's inside really is the art. I cannot praise this enough.

The first book club read of the year, did I enjoy it yes and no, it started very well but dragged on too long, chapter 30 was where I would gave ended it.
It did give you a look at the 10 year old mind and how they see the world, which I found interesting and what a psychiatrist would make of the end I would love to know.
All together an interesting if not drawn out read.

Doomsday Killer
Another very good series of Dexter, although for me the least interesting main plot so far. Dexter is tracking another serial killer reenacting scenes from the bible to bring about the end of the world. Colin Hanks guess stars this time round. Still very good but not as exciting as the last 3 series and some twists I didn't think worked.. But a great finale!
