Challenging themes and well-written prose but disappointing in lack of depth to plot and characters. Left feeling like this passed me by.

Bright and colourfully presented, this "in 30 seconds" book about the Vikings is targeted at middle-grade readers but accessible by older students as well. It is well laid out and leaves information easily found. Illustrations are meaningful and show the lives of these well know historical people.
Overall, this is a pleasant read, that adds to information and one I would happily put in my youngster's library.

Normally, I like to read a book before I see a movie, but this book wasn't available from the library prior to me seeing the movie. Well, luckily, it's completely different. I'm not going to compare them at all.
This was a quick read. The first person narrative worked well with the story. The story was interesting and well paced. I'll definitely read the next book in the series.

Ah, good old Guardians of the Galaxy. This is a really fun movie that's a great addition to the MCU. I enjoyed it very much. I definitely enjoy this movie and I think the VFX are very well done. One of my favorite things about this film is the CGI of Rocket Racoon. It's really well done. I'm a fan of James Gunn's direction of the film as well.

Easy to follow.
Well organized.
I don't usually read non-fiction, let alone self help books. I dove into this one as a choice for some PD hours over the summer. Definitely a good choice- it was engaging, well organized, easy to follow and very easy to read. Anyone wanting to build good habits or change old or bad habits would find this little gem useful.
  
Historical fiction well written and easy to read, with just an added touch of romance

Great animation (0 more)
A wonderful family adventure film directed by Spielberg. Featuring an impressive voice cast including Andy Serkis. With a slight inspiration by the indiana Jones films. The animation is great as well. If you have missed this check it out!

For a book written for the juniors age group, the story held suspense pretty well.
