Book Favorite

"A friend of mine recommended it as a good introduction to comic book reading for adults, and I latched onto it. It’s Romeo and Juliet passion meets Star Wars epic and Game of Thrones provocativeness but with sharp and witty dialogue and incredibly imaginative illustration. My favorite character: Lying Cat: a cat that, instead of meowing, says, ‘lying’ every time someone lies in its presence – now that’s a superpower I would want!"

Rollercoaster ride

A rollercoaster through time and spirit!

This glorious piece of fiction isn't so much a flowing, chronological novel as it is a series of stories with little life lessons and morals throughout.. Witty and dark with an easygoing take on a heavy spiritual topic akin to Tom Robbins or Vonnegut, this is a must-read both for the rollercoaster ride of adventure but also for some thought-provoking spiritual qualms.

Book Rating

Actually quite sad reading it post-death

This is almost a bittersweet memoir about the great Carrie Fisher who battled mental health issues, substance abuse, and being brought up in a slightly dysfunctional family. It is witty, snarky and sarcastic despite all the upheavals. It begins with her experience with electroshock therapy and her subsequent loss of memories. The book is also short and filled with interesting images from her life, so it's a treat to read.

If you loved Fantastic mr Fox film, you'll love this

Wanted to watch this as soon as I heard they had produced anither film. Was really good I enjoyed all of it and will watch it again.
Not suitable for younger viewers due to some scenes dealing with suicide, death, and other adult themes.

Good chemistry between the leads (1 more)

Funnier than expected

Silent but deadly

A decent comedy as a cop and Uber driver team up to chase down a bad guy. Some ok action scenes as well but it's very witty with some sharp punchlines. All the funny moments play off the chemistry between the lead characters. I was worried all the funny bits were in the trailer, but it had plenty more. Actually it was a pleasant surprise overall.
