Not gonna lie...I was a bit sceptical when I picked up this book. But I was quickly pulled into the world of Reds and Silvers and the Red Guard. I found myself listening to this book every spare minute I had. Intrigue, secrets, unknown powers, fears, lies, family, betrayal, and HOPE bleed onto the pages of this book in a neverending flow.

I still don't know who to trust, although I DO know who is evil...I think...You know, come to think of it...I have no idea...afterall...

“Anyone can betray anyone.”

― Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen

It is ridiculously hard to review a book like this...Only because I don't want to give away spoilers. So I will leave you with this...If you love YA books...and have a fascination with dystopian/sci-fi type books...You should definitely give Red Queen a try. I think you will really enjoy it! Now excuse me while I finish the series....

I borrowed Red Queen on audio from my local library. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

I liked the movie, but I honestly don't see it as Best Picture-worthy. I can see the Best Actor nomination, and some of the other nominations that it has received, but it's just not Best Picture material in my mind. It's still worth seeing, especially if you liked Queen. (Obviously, great soundtrack, too. Lol)

Finally got round to seeing this as it's considered a cult film. Apparently it spawned 5 more sequels to date. For an 80's film it was fun if slightly silly story of warriors battling through the ages. Although never really explained why? The Scottish scenery and Queen sound track raise it just above average.

Jean Genet | 2021

Book Favorite

"Like Nietzsche, Genet believed in the "transvaluation of all values", by which bad is good and the ugly is beautiful. Whereas most writers treated homosexuality as a disease, Genet took the stronger position in linking it with evil and crime and sin. He invented the drag queen for literature in Divine in this novel."
