J Elizabeth Klug (21 KP) rated Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts in Books
Dec 14, 2019
A short non-fiction ebook that draws comparisons from the magic written by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series to the historical myths and folklore from which it's based. Invisiability, transforming into a creature, and warding off evil are just a few of the topics you'll find in this book.
I found this to be a fascinating read and would recommend it to any fans of Harry Potter who are interested in Mythology and Folklore.

good fun for non tots
i will admit i truly enjoyed the movie i laughed i felt rushes of action and adventure there was so much going on and i loved it but i personally didnt like the profanity of the movie all together too much profanity for a family movie and too much sexual comments which i found hilarious myself but not for a family

I had great hope's for this book, due to reviews I had read before picking it up. A bit disappointing, if I'm honest. It did read like a story but without any emotion. It was predictable which was quite off-putting. I read reviews of humour, but I found none. Written in short chapters so very quickly and easily read. I did read it all though, so there is that. I probably wouldn't recommend.

Classic Who Done it with a twist
Have watched it twice now, once at the cinema and another at home through Amazon. Enjoyed both times, the plot does twist and turn but you might be able to guess who it is. Sorry but this should have given Daniel Craig a different accent as it was rather bad. Son who is a big Marvel fan found it strange watching Chris Evan play a different type of character.

Maine style Dracula
2nd book from the great man based around vampires. Good story with decent characters and King already has found the ease of a seasoned writer as you are hooked very early on. As usual the book is better than the movie/TV series although that's worth a watch as it has David Soul (70's heart throb from Starsky & Hutch)as one of the leads.
This is not what I expected. I checked this book out thinking it was going to be more science based. Instead it was more anecdotal. It was interesting hearing about different aspects of insomnia and what happens to a person. I found this goes a lot of topic at times. Nevertheless it is one of the the most beautifully metamorphically written book I’ve ever read. Listen to it, at times I felt like I was surrounded by colour.

Shane Dawson
This laugh out loud funny collection of essays from YouTuber Shane Dawson is incredible. I'm a huge, yet new, fan and the second I found out he had a book I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Reading this felt like listening to a friend tell you stories. With his out there sense of humor you get just a small glimpse into his personal life and I was so grateful and entertained. Amazing book!
