AT (1676 KP) rated The Wedding of Popeye & Olive in Books
Nov 25, 2018 (Updated Nov 25, 2018)
The Wedding of Popeye and Olive had all of the main characters in it, plus a rich ex of Olive's that wanted to steal her away. She was kidnapped, and Bluto tried to get her back at the same time as Popeye. The story was short, cute, and stayed true to the Popeye characters. However, the illustrations were more modernized. I wasn't a huge fan of that change.

Eddie could do no wrong at this early stage of his career and his fresh take on comedy was nothing short of amazing and this film was one of the best of his 80's line up.
It's a fish out of water story peppered with Murpy's unique ultra cool flare and timing which makes this one of the best 80's cop movies and an instant classic.

Hmm
I feel a little let down by this but for me, this author is hit and miss. Some I love, some I don't. This is definitely of the latter. The style was a little strange for me in the first part, like it was told in short before expanding into a fuller story after the first call out of the FBI.
Oh, well, on to another book I go.

Absolutely beautiful artistic renditions throughout. Amazing soundtrack. Great story. Being from the same folks who brought us Your Name, I had very high hopes. I wasn't disappointed, but there were a couple of elements present that I didn't think added much and maybe even detracted a bit, which is why I stopped short of offering a full TEN rating. Still remains a wonderful work that should be checked out.

I'm not going to put a full review up on my blog for this little book, which is too short to even be called a novella. This is a lovely character study story about a very troubled Japanese chef. Gently written and filled with humor, it is also quite sad. I don't recall which blog I found reference to these "Red Circle Mini" books, but thanks to whomever it was! Delightful!
