"I’ve never been a huge fan of David Lean’s epics and think the modest British films he did in the 1940s are superior. I also wouldn’t have thought he had a glimmer of humor, but this film is witty, and the actors (even Charles Laughton) have been directed with insight."

Explosively Good

A fun, bloody love story. Quite an odd concept, definitely more a Rom-Com with an explosive twist. Students at a high school in their final year start combusting at random. Never knowing how long they will live does this change their perspective on life.
The film is very likable, very witty with some funny exchanges and the relationship feels very genuine for the likable duo. It's bloody without being overly gory for people exploding. The only down side the film seemed to lose it's direction a little bit in the final third. Overall though a fun and quirky, Rom-Com with a difference.

Witty Dialogue

Strong support cast

It is intriguing to see how the authorities would use the information they have once the Enigma has been cracked, in this classic ‘race against time’ tale.

The cast was great with the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley and Mark Strong amongst other great actors!

Great Book

I've read this twice now and I love it. It's a great book. The main character is interesting, smart, and witty. I loved reading the science aspects of it and I found myself reading late into the night because I had to know what happened next. Quite an enjoyable read.

Feb 15, 2019

Amelia is a great narrator for this tale. She's intrinsically sensible, has a humourous way about her, and is just a pure joy of a protagonist! The Crocodile on the Sandbank was wonderfully witty, fast, and fun read and I can't wait to get to the rest of the series. :D
