Recommended only if you're a diehard fan of The Lion King
I wish I could give this game a higher rating, but it would be a biased review based on my own love for The Lion King. The game follows the first two films. You'll run along classic locations like the elephant graveyard, the outlands, and the gorge. It was nice playing a character I knew and loved, and I enjoyed seeing the levels. Unfortunately, that's about all this game has going for it. It was short, and the controls so clunky it's hard to place your jumps and attacks exactly where they need to be. The voice acting was okay, nothing to write home about. Long story short, if you're a die hard Lion King fan, you'll have fun with this game. Otherwise, give this title a pass.

Overrated
I had high hopes for this book based on general hype and reviews, and sadly it didn’t quite live up to it.
It isn’t a bad book, not at all, it’s just very short and simple. It’s trying to be something very profound and inspirational, but for me it wasn’t. It has a nice message around following your dreams, but it comes across as a little cheesy and unbelievable. There was an odd quote in here that I actually really liked, but nothing much else to make me feel inspired. The characters too didn’t seem particularly well developed or interesting. The one bonus is that it is very short, so you can get through it fairly quickly without it starting to drag.
It’s an alright read, but not one I’d ever recommend as a “must read”.

This was an interesting read/listen a bit different. It was a quick and short read with some humor, reflection and memoir type stories. It reminded me a bit of a one-woman play of sorts.
The first 1/3-1/2 of the book was sort of random except I connected more to some bits but after the first half, I found more to connect with and then with the last few chapters, I found it enlightening and connected quite a bit to that part.
It's a bit like a collection of mini-memoir essays that talk about being a woman, a child, growing up, figuring things out and having an enlightening moment of rising above hard times, etc.
If you're looking for a short listen with some quirkiness memoir type stories and such then you might enjoy this.

A collection of short stories by science fiction writer Alastair Reynolds, these stories showcase his world building outside of his more well-known Revelation Space epics. Each story is told with his flair for hard physics combined with space opera but always driven by the psyche of his characters.
With so many well-written stories here, there is bound to be much to be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys futuristic science fiction. The ideas are intriguing and clever, often provoking considerable thought. The writing is deft and fluid, keeping the pace up. Every story feels like a perfect capsule of the idea it contains, rarely too long and flabby or too short and rushed.
If you are a fan of Reynolds' other works or if you have never read a word he has written, this book will not disappoint.
