Book Rating

Wow, am I glad this this is a complete series. The ending is a cliffhanger so I have already downloaded the final book but thought I would quickly review before reading it.

The story really continues to grow in this book with both Elder and Pim being honest about their lives and feelings.

There are some emotional scenes in this book and one in particular made me cry, this is very rare, I am not a crier.

I still can not recommend this series enough, once you get past the darker content, mainly book one, then it is truly amazing. I love the way both characters are so really with faults and problems and stuff to deal with, however they try to see past that to each other.

This is not a book I would normally pick up to read. But when I started to read it I was engulfed by the raw feelings of the main character (which I later discovered was in fact the author as this is autobiographical).
There are parts throughout the book where it jumps in time, sometimes it is a relevant memory, but other times I found it hard to reason as to why this "tidbit" had been inserted.
I think I would have liked to have known more about the process the main character had to go through for his daughter, as a lot of the book it about how the system doesn't always work, but I was intrigued as to the details of how it all worked out in the end.

Movie Rating

The Front Runner is a tricky one to sum up. We've got some excellent acting talent giving solid performances but *shrugs shoulders* it's just another average story. Perhaps it holds more weight with an American audience.

Much like Colette this one felt very long, but that feeling hit much earlier into the screening. I wasn't bored, but there was a lot of this film. I'm not even sure that taking anything out would improve my feelings about it.

I could honestly finish my review there, I made no notes at all. There was nothing that made this film stand out above anything else in this genre. It's a well made film about an average story, and that's its problem.

What you should do

It's a good film but it can definitely wait until it's streaming.

I have extremely mixed feelings about this new iteration of Dracula. At some points, I really liked it, and others I found it a slog. But, I was compelled to finish it within 24 hours.
I think my biggest problem was the pacing of it all. It seemed rough and uneven. It was all pretty predictable, the 'twists' weren't very twisty.
The thing I liked the most was the snark from Dracula, it was entertaining. I was also thrilled (no sarcasm), that Mina wasn't a huge part of the story, and that Lucy didn't appear until the end.
I don't even know whether to recommend this or not to people. I guess if you have 4 1/2 hours to spare and you like vamps, you'd most likely be entertained.

I tried with this but gave up after episode one... Which felt about 3 hours long. Not a fan of Dracula's accent either.

@Dean Honestly, I was going to stop after ep 1, but that dang Netflix auto-play (Netflix has the rights in the US) got me. I went to the restroom, came back, and was pulled back in because I couldn't figure out what was going on. I guess that's a compliment to the makers of the series.
