Much Ado About You was a lovely historical romance. Eloisa James' writing has an almost lyrical lilt to it that is fresh and delightful. The story was nicely told and paced, and felt more true-to-life than others I've read in the same genre. Tess was a wonderful and likable heroine who was smart, witty and confident. I look forward to future installments and can't wait for Imogen to grow up and mature. All along the book reminded me a bit of Little Women, even though I've never read it and only seen the film version with Winona Ryder, and in the back of the book Ms. James acknowledges that she was inspired by Louisa May Alcott. My only quibble would be that Lucius could have been more fleshed out and the end seemed a bit abrupt. Other than that, I really enjoyed this quick and easy foray into Eloisa James' charming and witty world of the Essex sisters.

Good Comedy / Action film
A great over the top action comedy. So much action is packed into such a short film, it never lets up. There is a good chemistry between the leads and some witty dialogue, lots of exotic locations and great stunt scenes. There is enough to keep everyone happy. A mix of True Lies, Bond, and a Rom-com. A fun lighthearted enjoyable film that has something for everyone.

Fun and witty read that will expand your vocabulary and knowledge of Irish folklore/mythology. A great summer book, easy enough to read in an afternoon or put down and pickup and finish later.
Although, it references the TV show and previous books, it is a stand alone book. You don't necessarily have to watch or read to them understand or enjoy the book, it is recommended because of the enjoyable shinannegans and hijinks.

A fun quick read. Sarcastic and a bit witty not afraid to make fun of itself. Set in Chicago and while it is "present day" i.e. 2000s up electronics and magic don't always get along, Harry at times lives like he's in the 1950s and older.
I found it refreshing that a character could have old fashion values but still for the most part, let a person do the things they need to.

"I walked cold into this film, knowing nothing about it, when it first ran in the theaters back in 1990, and was utterly charmed by it. I’ve since watched it many times. A witty film but also touched with an elegiac quality because of its underlying theme of the passing of an era. Every time I watch it, I wish I were more like the character of Nick Smith. I love his narcissistic arrogance."
