Abby and her brother Jonah make a shocking discovery when the mirror in the basement of their new house sucks them through and they find themselves in the woods. When they keep Snow White from eating the poisoned apple, they must find a way to fix her story and make it home.

This was a short but delightful story that anyone looking for an early chapter book will appreciate. A twist or two along the way even surprised me. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.

I won this book in a contest.

Deadpool’s smart-arse one liners. And his fuckin’ bad language. The genuine pathos Wade is faced. 4th Wall smashing. (0 more)

Mr Pool’s flippancy could annoy some. Ditto on the creative insults. Might feel a little like paint by numbers. (0 more)

Freddy Krueger and a topographical map of Utah

My 11 year old son is so chuffed that im letting him see this - his friend has an older brother so often gets to see 15 certificates. But nobody has seen Deadpool yet in his circle so he’ll deffo get some Kudos of his own.

I know that the violence and swearing won’t offend/inspire/distress him to copy anything.
Unless he learns to reheal and shoot like Mr Pool.

Save me and I'll save you

This is a real mind bending,brain teasing movie that I wasnt to sure about after reading some negative reviews but I'm glad I ignored them as this was a great little film.
A Los Angeles detective discovers his brother,sister in law and niece gunned down and murder.A little while after he starts getting phone calls from his dead niece,how can she still be alive?.After a while he realises that she is calling from the past and the murders havent happened yet.Can he help prevent them from happening at all.

This was a clever little film,not the usual stuff you expect from blumhouse pictures.Definitely worth watching.

David McK (3814 KP) rated Sherlock Holmes: The Voice of Treason in Books

Apr 12, 2020

At first, I must admit, I wondered what a Sherlock Holmes story that had not been written by Arthur Conan Doyle would be like.

And then I listened to this.

Set in the 'traditional' Sherlock Holmes setting of late in Queen Victoria's reign (in this case, after Reichenbach Falls) - instead of the more contemporary setting popularised by TVs Sherlock - this did take me a bit to get into.

However, it is impeccably produced and acted - even if it relies quite heavily on flashbacks - taking in such key characters as Sherlock himself, Dr Watson, Sherlock's brother Mycroft and Professor Moriarty, in a mystery around the kidnapping of the Queen!
(I was never taught that in school …)
