Great fights (2 more)
Funnier than I expected
Gory deaths
Get over here!
It's been a long time since I played any of the Mortal Kombat games but it was a very big game when it first came out and has had many new versions.
I can barely remember the 90's film but I hoped this would be a good update. It doesn't disappoint. The fights are very good with some great choreography, close up, with weapons, hand to hand there are plenty crammed into this. Including some well known quotes. Some of the fights have some great "Fatalities" which the game was well known for. They are gory and deserves the films R rating.
There are a lot of funny scenes, lines and exchanges as well. Altogether a film fans of the game should enjoy, it's bloody good.

A great edition to the saga
Here we have a great prequel to a saga I love and it was done well. In this book we are taken back to the early days of the Hunget Games, with the turmoil of the war still felt. Instead of seeing the Games from the perspective of not some District reble, but the Capital born Cornelious Snow.
A little inside into his early and transformative years was refreshing and made me want to dive right back into the trilogy.
One thing Susan Collins does so well is write protagonists who are far from perfect and borderline unlikeable, yet from Katniss to Snow, somehow, we still end up routing for them.
Well worth a read, but it is definitely better read after The Hunger Games, when it will be truly apriciated.
Get ready to gasp!

I must admit that I really, really struggled with this book because although the story was good and the way the author weaved historical fact with fiction was well done and it was clearly well researched, it was just too slow for me and there was too much jumping from scene to scene making it hard for me to keep track as it didn't flow particularly well and I didn't get the excitement or tension that I was hoping for.
I accept that this is my view and this book will certainly appeal to a lot of people ... you just have to see how many 4 and 5 star reviews this has got to prove that but it just wasn't for me.
Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.
