David McK (3764 KP) rated How Not to Worry: The Remarkable Truth of How a Small Change Can Help You Stress Less and Enjoy Life More in Books

Sep 15, 2021

I read or, more accurately, listened to this book via Audible.

As such, I'm worried that I didn't get the full impact of it.

(sorry not sorry)

I am an inveterate worrier, and I did glean one or two nuggets of useful information from this, but I have to admit: I also had to force myself to finish it. I don't know whether it was because of the conversational style used, or the narrator or what, but I did find myself losing interest partway through.

I'm worried now that the author will take this the wrong way ...

(again, sorry not sorry)

Slow first half (0 more)

Good old style shoot 'em thriller

A fairly plain and simple action thriller, with over the top characters. Almost like a comic book adaption with a retro twist. A man on the run gets arrested hoping that will keep him safe. The hitmen on his tail have other ideas.
It's a little slow to getting going but it's not long before the chaos ensues and the bullets flying everywhere. Funny in places and Alexis Louder was impressive in her role. One to switch the brain off to and just enjoy the show.

Easy-going martial arts Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson (and Lucy Liu) film, with Chan portraying the party of a Chinese Forbidden City Imperial Guard soldier who travels to the Wild West of America to rescue the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu), and falls in with outlaw Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) along the way.

As a Jackie Chan film, you pretty much know what to expect: lots of martial arts slapstick in his own inimitable style (and pidgin English, which is still a lot better than my non-existent Chinese!) and a few 'that's a terrible name for a cowboy' puns along the way!

Herc is the story of Hercules told by the people who knew him. I really enjoyed this style of storytelling, it seemed more personal, and unlike the traditional myths, we could see how Hercules actions impacted on those around him, and those he loved.

This isn’t a story for the faint-hearted. It’s graphic both in violence (he was a violent man) and sex (who liked sex). Also, it would probably help if you knew the story of Hercules before starting this. It can dart around a bit from person to person.
