A disturbing, distressing look at ecological disaster.
This is such a good book, but also deeply disturbing. Set during an environmental disaster, initially set in London, then Scotland in a refugee camp.
The way it's written reflects the shock and despair of the main character - sparse and disjointed. Time moves in a strange way (which will be interesting to see how this will be handled if it makes it to the big screen).
This is well worth a read, but make sure you're mentally in a good place first! The whole book made me feel uncomfortable, and there is no happy ending. Call me odd, but that's the kind of book that I really enjoy!

Greta (2019) is a dark urban feminist fairy tale masquerading as a B-movie potboiler.
Neil Jordan has taken the streets of New York City and turned them into the sinister forest of a dark urban fairy tale only this time, it’s the evil witch herself leaving the trail of breadcrumbs across the city – in the form of emerald green handbags – all the better to lure the unwary children to her home for (spiked) milk and cookies. It riffs on fairy tale tropes from Hansel and Gretel to Sleeping Beauty, with the magnificent (maleficent?) Isabelle Huppert weaving her terrible and terribly camp spell at the core of this poisoned Big Apple...

Crazy comedy
Completely silly and over the top sex comedy. It seems each new entry tries to out do the last with more sex, nudity and gross-out humour. After an ok 3rd film, weak 4th (Band Camp) the series is picking up again with the main characters from Naked mile in this. Based around the Stifler cousins at University and set 3 months after the last film, at least there is a bit of continuity again. Definitely a guy flick with wild parties, pranks, tons of hot girls and more breasts than a plastic surgeons catalogue! If you liked the first two and Naked mile more than the others you will like this.

The beautiful narrative follows the life of Lale, a Slovakian linguist who finds himself labouring as a ‘Tätowierer‘ within a concentration camp. The interactions of the prisoners and their captors portrays the full spectrum of humanity. Knowing that the cast of real life characters may not survive the war, is a stark reminder that every one of the seventeen million people who died during the Holocaust, had a story of their own. There are a number of formidable novels that depict this harrowing time, they ensure we never forget the strength and tenacity it took to live and love in the harshest of circumstances. Definitely one to read before the film is released.
