Wonder Woman has been my favorite superhero since childhood, so I had a lot of expectations going into the film. I loved every moment of it. Gal Gadot did an amazing job, as did Chris Pine, and all of the supporting cast.

"Another beautifully shot childhood favorite. Still amazing how they pulled off the shipwreck scene and how the horse and the boy really connect in the aftermath the way they do. Storytelling without a lot of dialogue, and with a dash of Hoyt Axton"

"My mother wrote this memoir about her childhood, her bohemian and Beatnik friends, and her early love affair with Jack Kerouac. She was with him when On the Road came out, and witnessed how his sudden rise to prominence hastened his dissolution."

Amazing nod to my childhood
Wow, simple as that!
Was so excited for this film and can safely say it didn't disappoint me. The storyline is brilliant and well thought out. The characters are likeable without being irritating. The most amazing part for me was watching the film over and over looking out for all the hidden characters from my childhood.
The icing on the cake was the epic battle with the Iron Giant, Mecha Godzilla and Gundam Wing!!!!!!!
Must watch for anyone born in 80s or 90s who loves games and fantasy.

Not the best memoir I've read
This is a memoir about the author growing up in a working class family in Glasgow. I read this as part of my dissertation on memoir but was deeply disappointed. The childhood language and the adult language are disjointed, the transitions from the adult self and the child self are awkward and the story (for me) was flat. That's not to say its a terrible book. Some of the memories are sweet, vivid and well put together.

Kid Artist: True Tales of Childhood from Creative Legends by David Stabler is a fun nonfiction book! It's perfect for middle school age, but can be enjoyable to older readers. The book shares childhood stories of famous artists.

The book is divided into three sections and within each section the artists have similarities. I loved the illustrations by Doogie Horner, it really brought the stories to life. I knew about most of the featured artists, but I was not aware of all. I enjoyed learning about the artists childhood. The facts are all very intriguing This is a great book to learn about these amazing artists. It shows how other people went about learning to paint, draw, sculpt, and more and it could really inspire kids to try their hand at what they are interested in!

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The film of my childhood!
Seriously there is not a better version of Cinderella. I watched this one before I ever saw Disney's animated version and Brandy will always be my Cinderella.

This was one of my favorite books as a child, and I was relieved to find it when I found all of my childhood books in my parents' attic. It is essentially a remixed Cinderella story, but I really enjoyed the different riff on it.
