Wonderfully daft
After watching the tv series, I knew what to expect from the book and plot wise, there is very little difference between the two. But as always, the book is a lot better than the series.

I’m a big fan of Terry Pratchett, and this is a wonderful story showcasing his storytelling talents. It’s fun, entertaining, and full of British humour which comes across a lot better in the book than it does in the show. It’s a great story with some brilliant characters, although I do think it’s a rather unthreatening irreverent take on the end of the world, but i suppose that’s Pratchett all over.

A fun and interesting read that hits close to home.

A Plague Amongst Us is the eighth in the series and it doesn't disappoint. Not only is it fresh and current - using the Covid-19 pandemic as a theme - but it also reminds us about human nature.

Full of twists and surprises you'll be kept guessing all the way through. Strong female main characters are always a plus and this definitely has those.
    It would be great to see this turned into a TV series. I can easily see myself sat with my tea and biscuits just like I did when I read it.
  
Georgia Thornton is back for a third round on a reality TV show – this time working with her boyfriend Scott to solve a cold case. The castle where this show is set is super spooky, but things get very scary when Georgia finds a dead body in the empty swimming pool. Even weirder, the victim drowned. What’s going on?

Between the reality TV show and the case, there is always something happening, although I did feel the other happenings overwhelmed the main mystery a bit at times. Still, the mystery builds to a logical conclusion. The author does a great job of helping us keep all the characters straight while growing Georgia, Scott, and some of the other series regulars. And the reality TV setting is just lots of fun.

NOTE: I received a copy of this book.

Great selection of TV and films (1 more)
Can download programmes
Sometimes forgets where you've watched to (0 more)
I have lost count of the amount of series I have binge watched on Netflix now.
I initially was just just going to use the one month free so I would be able to finish watching The Originals but, low and behold, almost two years in I'm still watching.
The selection of TV shows and films are great. They're often things I've meant to watch but haven't had a chance to yet but there they are.
Downloading programmes for on the go is definitely a plus. I like to have a few in my tablet in case I get stuck anywhere or the Internet where I'm staying isn't the greatest.
Only drawback is sometimes Netflix forgets exactly where you were in a programme of you switch between devices (start watching on the tablet and then resume on the TV later). It's such a trivial complaint however that it hasn't put me off.

Robbie Morrison continues to nail the 12th Doctor and Clara, not in big sweeping ways, but in the small intimate dialogue they share. But the stories here are big and sweeping, RTD era Who. (Which ironically serves as a problem for the line since it has to shadow the current TV series run. hard to come back from a near extinction level event.)

Good artwork, fine story telling. Cant wait to continue the line...
