Well technically it ended at the 80% mark, so it wasn't as long as I thought it would be and if I'm honest I didn't entirely see the point of this, other than a way to introduce Jessie to fans of this series.

I loved Johnny and Meg's story and I really hope this isn't something that will be too much for them,

Beavis and butt head
Don't try this at home
Haven't seen this in a long time I like watching jackass the TV show or the movies. Done of the stunts are dangerous and even I wouldn't attempt them. not as good as the first two movies but still good like the Beavis and butt head introduction at the beginning of the movie

An early film starring and directed by Johnny Depp. It's a rather slow tale about the length someone is prepared to go to give their family a better life. Starring Marlon Brando as well briefly it's an interesting tale but the film is too long. There aren't many scenes that stand out either and it kinda feels like a made for TV film. For Johnny's die hard fans only really.

Only You Can Save Mankind!
Why me?
If not you, who else?

I first read this not long after it was published, back in the early-to-mid 1990s, at which time I was exactly it's target audience being in my mid teens myself.

By that point, I had already discovered Terry Pratchett's wonderful Discworld novels, but hadn't read many - any? - of his non-Discworld books.

That changed when I read this, which would go on to become the first in his so-called Johnny Maxwell series (comprising this, Johnny and the Dead and Johnny and the Bomb).

Reading this now (in the early 2020s), it still holds up remarkably well, even if it is noticeable how much society has changed: mobile phones weren't really a thing back in the 90s, personal computers were relatively new, the Gulf War was still ongoing ...

Another awesome Stephen King book
I enjoy this book because even though the whole premise of someone who wakes up after being in a coma and finds they are psychic is a bit far fetched.

I found that the bits about Johnny and his mum were a bit long winded compared to the film but in general I thought it was a great film.


Possibly I should have read the book first as the differences between the two did jar a bit. Overall the majority of the film was true to the novel.
