I love marvel but have not committed to watching them all yet, what better time to do this than in lockdown?

Decided to go for the chronological order with this being my second one. I love the plot mentions to other films and the clever way they have fit it into the universe. The makeup and space parts of the film are great.

Also Jude Law....... šŸ˜

I felt the concept of her regaining her memory could have been better explained and a longer process. Although I understand why it isn't. I found either the scripting or the acting for Brie Larsson to be quite false and the humourous/sassy sections forced. I was fully up for Captain Marvel being my next female icon but she didnt hit the mark (sorry).

<b>Snakes in Space</b> was very engaging! I loved the bright vibrant colors combined with the stark contrasts used between the words and the images on the pages to give great visuals that kids will love. The verbiage used to convey the story was easy to understand and had some repetitive qualities that kids can remember too! The storyline was fun and explained a great overview of going into space and coming back on a spaceship. Plus, <i>Kathryn Dennis</i> (who is the author and illustrator) did a great job using the illustrations to convey movement and engagement with the kids through different design elements. This is her newest book in the series, and I LOVE it and cannot wait to read more books from her. Truly one of the best childrenā€™s books I have read in a while.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Second Story Press

Okay so I love Shakespeare and I love stories set in high school drama departments so that alone should have done it for me but I just really didn't vibe with this book! I didn't enjoy any of the characters (especially the main character) and as a character driven reader that's such an impportant thing for me! I can forgive a lacklustre plot if the characters are good and enjoyable! There were parts that I enjoyed and I generally didn't hate it but I did find myself just reading it solely so that I could get it finished rather than enjoying the experience. It had a lot of potential and I'm sure a lot of people will like it but it just didn't do it for me, unfortunately!

"If I put Casablanca on Iā€™ll sound like AFI, right? [laughs] Hereā€™s the thing: there are all the choices you can make that you know sound really good and then thereā€™re the ones that you really watch, like a hundred times. Like Paulie, the film with the parrot ā€” but if I put that on my list Iā€™m gonna look like an idiot. [laughs] You must see Paulie! I know you think Iā€™m crazy. I love Paulie. I have these films that my younger brotherā€™s like, ā€œAmy, youā€™re gonna love this ā€” you have to watch this film.ā€ He introduced me to Paulie. Thereā€™s a whole bunch of people in Paulie: thereā€™s Gena Rowlands, Jay Mohr, Cheech; the guy from Monk, Tony Shalhoub, whoā€™s one of my favorites. Itā€™s such a touching story. I hope I havenā€™t built it up too much. [laughs]"
