Movie Rating

I watched this film on an wim. It was slightly slow to start but overall, I actually found it interesting.

It does bring up the theory of "is a serial killer born that way? Is something wrong with their brain? Or simply is it due to the way they were brought up and their early life?"

Alex Wolfe is great in the leading role as Dohmer, he plays the role very convincingly.

If you are interested in serial killer documentaries etc, definitely check out this film

Book Rating

This book just never clicked for me, I listened to it via audiobook read by Humphrey Bower and maybe the unusual writing style linked to the world-building just didn't come across well to me. This could not, however, make up for the unappealing main character. His disdain for his own dog early on was never going to work for me.

I found the story repetitive although I suspect this will improve as a series I'm not sure I want on for the whole ride.

The science!

Didn't realise this was going to become non-fiction

I used to love this film as I like the fact the science was quite good. I like Kate Winslet's character and her difficulties in attempting to explain the severity of the situation to politicians. I like the ending where it shows how the virus jumped to humans. I found that I wanted the punch Jude Law throughout the film but am glad that he at least wasn't completely able to get away with it.
