Although ground-breaking based upon Hollywood's much needed and applauded progression towards diversity, the story must stand on its own legs as an origin movie, which it manages to do, action and story are good but not great, however it is a warm welcome and good start for this hero.

You know those types of books that you think are one thing but when you read into it more, it's something completely different? This is one of those books, and believe me when I say that the diversity in it is done tastefully and historically accurate. Trust me on this one.

Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 4, 2017
It's an exciting time for international literature, and the breadth and diversity of these longlists reflect that.

From established authors like Javier Marías to new voices like Basma Abdel Aziz, from works of speculative fiction like Wicked Weeds to family sagas from Senegal like Doomi Golo, there’s something on here for every type of reader.

This was such a cute light hearted inspirational read. The aquicorns are so stinking cute I could scream. I also really appreciate the diversity in the cast and design of the characters. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick feel good story that they can gobble up in one sitting.

Movie Rating Watch
Top-tier Marvel superhero movie is essentially diversity wish-fulfilment, revealing the existence of a secret sci-fi African kingdom with technology from Star Wars and soundtrack from The Lion King, but disguises this supremely well with solid script, first class action, and charismatic performances.

New king (and part-time superhero) must come to the throne, cope with parental issues, deal with old enemy and malevolent would-be usurper. Contains some very interesting and subversive ideas about culture and colonialism; doesn't overdo this, of course. Chadwick Boseman radiates nobility and cool as BP, Andy Serkis has too much fun as ridiculously evil villain Klaw, nice support from Martin Freeman as token white sidekick/comic relief (nice to see a bit of diversity in the casting, guys). Marvel continue to do very little wrong.

British comedy panel show about diversity
It's like a normal British comedy panel show, bit they let women, and brown people, and queer folks in! If you want to listen to hilarious people try to guess customs and idioms from across the world, this is the show for you. Just don't listen if you don't want to laugh like crazy for 40 minutes straight.

I love I love I love. we stan. Look at this diversity! A hijabi Muslim girl, MULTIPLE GAY BOIS, a gay girl, punk, POCs, and so, so, so much more. It's gorgeous, so, so perfect, I stg I binged it. I really wished there were more episodes a season, considering they're all so short. Otherwise, it was a beautiful show, and very, very, very great.

Rolling Stone's 479th greatest album of all time (2020)
I wouldn't dare suggest this has been added to the list to give more diversity, and if it had been that would not be a bad thing. But it really is a dreadful album of low quality 90s Eurovision rejects. "Bidi bidi bom bom" and a Spanish language cover of The Pretenders' "Back on the Chain Gang". Yeesh.

Beautifully illustrated in such a way to draw the younger reader in, with poetic words that engage their ears and spark off questions from the more enquiring individuals, this book is a should have for all libraries and one for the wish list for all homes. The images show a balanced range of diversity without being obvious, the facts leave the youngsters asking questions, this is just about a perfect book.
