Book Rating
To be completely honest, I was really disappointed with this book. It took forever to get started, it was super predictable, and the ending just felt forced and I saw it coming a mile away. I don't know why I had such high hopes for this book. I think I'd heard here and there that it was good so I really wanted to read and I finally got the chance and it was just lackluster, to say the least.

I think this idea was really cool and there's a lot of ways it could've gone and in some ways, I'm happy with what was done. But mostly, I just was not impressed. I didn't really love it but I know it's not the worst book I've read. It's a solid meh.

Say his name
I was a bit surprised when I saw Jordan Peele name roll up at the start as a producer and writer for this and it has his hallmark all over it. I loved @Get Out (2017) but you don't expect a strong political message about racism and racial injustice in a Candyman film. Sadly its so prominent that it dominates the story too much.
Working as a sequel to the original it starts OK with some nice back story and scenes about the original told by shadow animation. Although really lacking in the horror department. The film looks good and stylish but it is the wrong vehicle for the message being thrown at you.
