Book Rating

I read this book probably right after I read @Recursion , that was a little in the same vein. The were just too close in my brain, and I liked Recursion more. The main commonality was that the main female character was attempting to find a cure for Alzheimer's because of a parent.
The thing that this scientist invents is the transfer of consciousness between bodies, and if they to switch bodies, the original body's consciousness just stays dormant. This used the trope of, switching bodies to perform... services of certain types. Not really all that original, and when you find out the true situation, it will disgust you even more.
Anyway, I recommend reading Recursion over this novel, or, at the very least, read Recursion first.

The puppets, art, (0 more)

I grew up in the 80s and it would be fair to say I've loved the original Dark Crystal film ever since I first saw it so there was no question when we heard about the new TV series that we were going to watch it.

Although it took me a few episodes to get into thr series overall I've loved it and that feel that they've gone back to the original puppets rather than an overuse of CGI. My main problem has been similar to watching the star wars prequels in that I've been watching it with the knowledge of what will happen (based on what we know from the film) and I feel that has taken something away from my enjoyment of the characters.

Classic Eddie Murphy

An old school classic comedy that showcases a great comedic actor at his very best.This was Eddie Murphy is at his most funniest (and serious in parts) role ever (imo anyway)

Murphy plays an african prince who wants to find a woman who will love him for himself not because he is royalty so he decides to head over to America to find said bride.He poses as a poor african student and when he eventually does find that special woman he goes all out to win her over while trying to keep his identity a secret.

A sequel is due to this next year (32 years after the original!!) and I just hope they dont ruin the legacy of the original with a painfully unfunny film.

Cool Ferrari

Good action scenes

Cool TV series

Well I can guess the low ratings are from people who don't like it compared to the original 80's series. A female Higgins probably didn't go down well? I don't remember much about the old series apart from set on Hawaii, Tom Selleck, Ferrari and the English butler with the Doberman dogs.
20 years since that ended this is the reboot. It keeps all those elements, with a modern Ferrari and T. C. with an identical Helicopter.
Now that Hawaii 5o has finished if you want a light hearted action series in a beautiful location, this is it. Some good action scenes and cameos from the original cast. It's easy viewing, maybe not as funny as it thinks but generally a good watch.
