After seeing the trailer for this I was very skeptical. I wondered how Hitler during Nazi Germany times could possibly be funny, even in satire. Truth be told, the only reason I got past that stage was because the movie stars Sam Rockwell, and I'm a sucker for him.

I stand corrected on my initial assessment.

Jojo Rabbit is a hilarious take on the life of a child during Nazi reign in Germany. Adolf Hitler is represented as an imaginary friend of a young man who is coming into his own. I know, this seems wicked dark and awful at the same time. But the way that it's approached by the film makers creates an environment that educates and enlightens to the times that were lived by the people of Germany while making it a bit lighter so that it doesn't weigh down all of your emotions to the point of not being able to carry them.

There are some very serious moments and I wouldn't recommend watching with young children (that should be a given if you watched the trailer). However, it is well worth a watch, or even a second. The acting alone is worth a second look.

Unusual Night is the second book in The Warrior's Promise series and we continue with Gwen, Wicked, and the rest of the crazy crew. This time, however, the crew becomes bigger thanks to the Goddess. Everyone, meet Thor and his wolves.

One thing I loved about this one is we get to meet Gabriel and find out about Gwen's past through his eyes. Gwen is growing in leaps and bounds in every way possible but is still some eight months away from her Change. Craze is just as wonderful as possible, along with Kayden, Orion, etc. I thought the whole situation with Thor was handled very well and I loved seeing how Gwen affected his pack.

Another long book to get your teeth into, this provided me with hours of entertainment. I am loving how the story is progressing, how the characters are changing, and am looking forward to seeing what the future brings for our main characters. Saying that, there are now a number of characters I want stories for! Absolutely recommended by me.
