Ties up endings but unsatisfyingly
Contains spoilers, click to show
Ties up all of the character arcs and plot lines in game of thrones but proceeds to do this in a boring, monotonous and rushed manner throughout the episode. Also, Daenerys' death could of been less rushed and more important, since it felt irrelevant

I could watch Bob Ross all day and night. His voice is soothing and his painting is magical. I went on a Netflix binge and watched them all in a span of two weeks. I hope they add more.

His death certainly came too soon.

One of the first books I read as an Undergraduate at University and it did not grab me at first. Second and third readings however changed my mind towards rural African political systems.

I was also absolutely honoured to meet the late Professor Achebe before his death in 2013.

I think this book leaves a lot of unanswered questions that stops this from being 5 stars. It doesn't explain how the death house came to be-why some were infected and others weren't... Sarah Pinborough has written some really good books but this one was a let-down.

"I was watching a geezer on Charlie Rose last night. John something, lectures in universities on war, uprisings, terrorism, torture, how governments become the terrorists, the pendulum of life and death. John something still uses this film to explain all before they discuss waterboarding. This film is the guv’ner."

"It’s very dark but almost funny at some moments. It’s about someone who is wrongly accused of a school shooting and sort of ends up being put away for it and being on Death Row. At moments it’s really funny, and at moments it’s really quite hard to read.”
