David McK (3576 KP) rated Predator's Gold (Mortal Engines #2) in Books
Oct 17, 2021
Like it's predecessor (Mortal Engines), it's definitely steampunk.
The language, and general pace/outline/plot of the story also makes you think it's aimed at the younger reader.
Until you start getting more in depth into it, and realise just how nasty some of the events in this are: kidnappings, brutal beatings, dismemberment, death, torture and the more, shall we say, intimate family moments are all part and parcel of the story - enough, perhaps, to make you imagine that this would be at least a 15 (instead of the PG) rating the language used would lead you to believe if it was translated faithfully to the silver screen?

David McK (3576 KP) rated Interesting Times (Discworld, #17; Rincewind #5) in Books
Nov 7, 2021
For some reason, this is not one of the Discworld books I would return to all that often (never found the Rincewind stories to be amongst the most enjoyable), but still has plenty of laugh out loud moments, alongside some other shrewd observations about life in general.
