I quite enjoyed the first Lego movie (Lego being an integral part of my childhood), even if I wasn't sure about the 'real world' aspects of it.
I also quite like the enjoyed The Lego Batman movie ('I only build in black, or sometimes very dark gray'), and had no interest in the Lego Ninjago movie.
I thought I would enjoy this more than I did. I'm not sure why: maybe it's the increased 'real world' aspects, maybe its the fact that the gags didn't seem to have such a high hit rate as before, but whatever it was...

When Garth Carson finds a squirrel puppet from a favorite childhood show, he thinks he's found a nostalgic goldmine. Instead, he soon finds a body and a conspiracy that seems too hard to believe. In fact, that was one problem I had with the book, I just couldn't believe it. The characters were also too thin. And the "comic" part of the comic caper? Not really that funny. I did find the climax over the top yet fun, however.

Wonderful Insight
I was a bit curious about this book as i have watched the series Narcos on Netflix which has been created from this book. The book is much darker and contains a lot of information about Pablo Escobar that was lacking in the series. This shows his childhood and how he grew to become one of the most notorious Drug lords in the world. If you like your biographical stories then this won't let you down. A fantastic read even for those who have not seen the series.

My allegiances are conflicted
Another great development from this second part of the trilogy. Juliette had moments of being incredibly flaky in this book, but then I gave myself the proverbial slap around the face and reminded myself that she has had an awful childhood, prolonged captivity and is very mixed up. Adam seemed to be a more back seat character in this book and Warner made everything look triangular. Warner did seem more human and vulnerable and I'm trying to keep an open mind about him. Who knows where it's all going to end in book three. Well narrated.

If you love the likes of A Fault in Our Stars, Everything Everything or 100 Days or Sunlight you will love this coming of age story. It focuses on two people; Finch who has had a tough childhood and suffers from depressive episodes and Violet who has recently lost her sister in a car accident. The find each other on a ledge and Finch makes its his mission to save Violet from the spiral she has found herself in by exploring Indiana. It takes you on an emotional ride, but only one of them makes it in the end and it is heartwrenching!

A rare insight
I have always liked Mike Harding and this book gives a real insight not just into his childhood but also life in Manchester in the years that followed the second world war. Reading this made me laugh at the real life incidents but also made me ashamed and embarassed about what was happening under the publics nose. I look forward to the next book as this only covers up until he left school and started working for the road department. A good read and well worth the time :)
