Similarity to tv show storylines. Far more detail & impossible storylines. (0 more)

Erm. It’s not 1000 pages..? (0 more)

Never fails

Having been a fan of the tv show as long as I can remember, I have read this, comprising Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life, dozens and dozens of times - and can quote great chunks.
Lister is slobbier than ever.
Rimmer is even more of an irritating worm.

The universe, time, death and reality are all their playthings - and I can only begin to imagine what Lister’s isolation on those peculiar worlds would be like.

Never sure where its going next. (0 more)

Ends with a feeling of overall sadness for the characters (0 more)

Thought provoking, sentimental and sad

A wife struggles to deal with her grief over the death of her husband who drowned when they were on holiday. Years later she bumps into the doppelganger of her husband, her consequences of her actions shape the film and events afterwards.

Worth a watch, bittersweet film, portrayed so well you feel empathy for each character and how fleeting life is.

Also I wouldnt call this a comedy....more drama, romance, nostalgia and grief.

David McK (3372 KP) rated The Crow Goddess (Lugh Mac Romain, #2) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The sequel to "A Shadow of Gulls", the Crow Goddess continues the story of Lugh the Harper and Cuchullain, although reading the former is not a pre-requisite to reading this.

Whereas the previous novel revolved mainly around the Ulster series of Legends (most particularly the Cattle Raid of Cooley), this novel takes place in both Roman Britain (the first half, and prior to the building of Hadrians Wall) and Ireland. The second part of the novel - the part in Ireland itself - concerns Cuchullains legendary death more than his legendary life.

Well worth a read!
