Excellent educational but still entertaining watch.
I really enjoyed Netflixes new offering of Sex Education it's something I can see appealing to a wide variety of ages, it gets across the issues in relationships and sex without making teenagers cringe and without making {this 30 year old) roll their eyes too. I laughed, I cried, I learnt new things and I would highly recommend it to young teenagers as it does come across very sensible with the world of sex without sort of turning them away as it puts it across in a very entertaining manner.

The only reason it got 9 out of 10 and not 10 is because the series finale upset and I'm stubborn.

My and my other half struggled with that too. It's very confusing. It's as if they couldn't make their mind up so just did a bit of everything haha.

Apparently the director was hugely influenced by John Hughes films like the breakfast club and wanted to get that feeling across hence the 80's feel. It was also designed to have appeal both here and in the USA but was set in the UK.

Pretty confusing though I do agree!

Not as good as Daft Wee Stories
Some more daft wee stories from Limmy. I picked this up as a holiday read when my current fantasy book became too grim for poolside reading. These short stories are all of a similar feel to the first set but to my mind of lesser quality. The stories are generally all someone getting themselves into a ludicrous situation after a series of seemingly logical decisions. None of these quite match up with those in the first book, and some just end without his trademark twisted punchline. The final story, more of a novella, is more like a rejected Irvine Welsh story than his usual, and is really quite an unpleasant read.

Very short story (0 more)
This book was very short - I read it in 1 day.
I prefer books to be a bit longer - it wasn't really long to even get into.
It's a crime genre which I love but it was too short to real be much of a crime book that I would normally read.
Giving a review on a short story is not easy as I didn't see the characters grow and story didn't really go anywhere.
I wouldn't read the second book in series.
I would recommend to someone who losses interest quickly or doesn't like reading a long book.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

Hmm...where to start. Let's give it 2.5 stars.

This book has sent me cartwheeling through so many feelings: intrigue, horror, indifference, happiness but I can't say that, in the end, I understood the story. I didn't get it.

Why could Mara do these things? Was she the cause of the asylum collapse? What about Noah? What happened to the building they were after?

Admittedly from about the 25% mark to about 70% I was enjoying the story but then I just got really confused when Noah confessed his secret. I had no idea what that had to do with the rest of the plot.

Not really to my liking. I wont be continuing the series.
