For such a short book this was pleasant to listen to - I saw the movie ages ago and I honestly remembered nothing of the end of this book - I didn't realize it was a series either - kind of makes me want to read the rest. The psychology around this character and the whole book was epic and Norman is kind of a villain you love in a way - or at least for me - it also kind of makes me want to watch the movie again. A must read I'd say if you've seen movie.

The Dino De Laurentiis version of The Godfather
Not really, but it was released the same year so it felt very similar in parts to the Coppola epic, just with a robustly smaller budget.
Bronson does a great job in his portrayal of Joseph Valachi, a mafia driver turned stool pigeon. He is intense and vulnerable at the same time.
Unfortunately, having been released in 1972, it would have no chance of finding an audience, but watching it now I found it to be very entertaining.

Epic ExtraOrdinary Story
I was so in love with the writing, world building, character development. I thought the plot was super creative and very refreshing to read. I love superheroes and the people who write about them or things related to them seem to have to most amazing skills to bring that world to light and this book was no exception I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves those kind of stories. Also, revenge is a side plot and well I always kind of love revenge stories.

Get Low
From a young age I was more into action adventures than anything, I remember great memories of NFSU2 also many arguments haha, taking in all comers and rarely losing (big head 😁) there was nothing like the feeling that ran through me during the opening, that is until the the game started, stunning graphics, an epic playlist, thrilling race's and a really enjoyable story thrown in.
NFSU2 is without a shadow of a doubt one of my all time favourite games.

The is the end (or is it?!)
Here it is, what the series has been building to. This volume sees Butcher and Homelander move towards conflict, with Vought and The Boys hoping it is avoided/delayed.
Some epic twists in this story, as Homelander's plans to press superheroes' place in society start to unfold.
If you aren't humming the tenpole tudor song every time you pick this book up, there is something very wrong with you.
This should really have ended the story nicely with minimal doubt. However, there was another volume!

Book one of the Riftwar Saga is a definite must read. I've seen Raymond Feist's books on the shelf for years and only now decided to read one. This and the second, Magician Master ,were originally written as one book. It tells the story of Pug, who rises from an orphan to become one of the most powerful magicians in any kingdom. Feist writes beautifully , making the reader forget the real world and become fully immersed in theirs. Definite addition to anyone's list that appreciates an epic fantasy story.

Couldn't look away
Contains spoilers, click to show
I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, I love horrors and most of the time their cliche but this was epic, the music creating a dramatic atmosphere. The story of loss and life, the risks they took every day to survive.
The way to defeat the creatures was realised by the daughter and it was a truly mesmerising moment between mother and daughter.
I bet the second one they become one hell of a team to remove the rest of the alien creatures from earth.

I found this book at a used bookstore. I have read Wrede before and it was fun reading something from her earlier works and seen how much she had grown as an author.
This book was written at a time when female characters were not normally a lead, so there is a few stumbles as she establishes her world and where everything is going. It can be a bit predictable and underwhelming at places. but all in all an easy read that shows potential and fun take on the epic genre.
