Visually stunning for a film set in the late 1800s through WW1 and a soundtrack fitting for the film. Cast was chosen well and stand out performance from Nicholas Hoult in the titular role.
For a film that looked to be just about Tolkienand how he wrote The Lord of The Rings & The Hobbit series, it's so much more. If this doesn't at least receive some nominations for awards I would be shocked. If you have not seen it go see it before it's too late.

The author was funny and it kept me entertained at times but I felt that this was a giant rant about fandoms. I think that this book could have been marketed a little differently. This is definitely a book that would fit in as a literary essay or critical thinking in a science fiction class. I enjoyed it but I really wish there was more to it than rants about specific details.
All in all, I'm not a huge fan but if you like rants or are missing that science fiction fanatic in your life, this would be the book for you.

The writing style is very poor and messy, and it’s very difficult to read a story that is made up of unbroken long winded paragraphs. Even the dialogue between characters isn’t broken apart and it’s very tiresome to read. There’s little character development and the plot is very convoluted, jumping about with little reason or explanation, and it’s very difficult to figure out what’s actually going on. I don’t deny that this could have been a very good read, had it not been for the ridiculous rambling narrative. The only good thing about it was that it was fairly short, otherwise I never would’ve got to the end of it.
