This is a novella so therefore it moves along at an incredible pace - everything happens within the space of a few short hours. There is attraction, flirtations, humour, and the threat of violence - all within a few pages.
If you are on the lookout for a hot, coffee-break book, then I can highly recommend this book and The Amulet Series as a whole.

Drama film? Yep. Science Fiction? Possibly (probably).
But don't be thinking 'Star Wars', 'Star Trek' or even '2001: A Space Odyssey' - if anything, the closest correlation I can come up with is 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'
Which might seem a bit odd, but consider: the bulk of this is set in an around a psychiatric hospital, where Kevin Spacey's main character Prot resides after claiming he is from the planet K-Pax, and after being arrested almost immediately after arriving in a train station at the start of the movie.
Jeff Bridges psychiatrist - who, initially, doesn't believe him (well, let's face it: would you?) then sets about uncovering the truth of Prot, digging into his (Prot's) past and uncovering some disturbing revelations.
So, yeah, a bit of an odd one, that largely relies on the charisma of it's two main lead actors.

Man, I feel old.
This is the long-mooted capper to the trilogy, with Bill & Ted's band Wyld Stallyns still waiting for that one song that (as per both 'Amazing Adventure' and 'Bogus Journey') will unite humanity. No, that one at the end of the last film didn't do it.
Now older - but no wiser - and with their kids grown up, the duo find themselves summoned to the future and told that all of space and time will be destroyed if they don't write that song in the next couple of hours.
Cue more time (and afterlife) -travelling idiocy as they decide to steal said song from their future selves, while their daughters also try to put together a band of musical prodigies from throughout history.
Good natured fun, in effect.
