Deep meaningful situations
I find Dmitry one of the best authors I've ever read. His type of writing keeps you in the story terribly. He's way to easy to read do you end up lost in pages for hours not even realising it. There's no hard bits to go through, just one amazing idea of post apocalyptic world and human kind trying to deal with its consequences. Next to the great thought of the system of an underground survivers, there are plenty of moments where the author is focusing on human kind and it's weaknesses, twitches and their behaviour.

The Taking
By Dean Koontz
⭐️⭐️

On the morning that will mark the end of the world they have known, Molly and Niel Sloan awaken to the drumbeat of rain. It has haunted their dreams through the night, and now they find an eerily luminous and golden downpour that drenches their small Californian mountain town. As hours pass they hear news of extreme weather phenomena across the globe. An obscuring fog turns once familiar streets into a ghostly labyrinth. By evening, the town has lost all communication with the outside world. First TV and radio go dead, then the Internet and phone lines. The young couple gathers together with some neighbours, sensing a threat they cannot identify or even imagine. The night brings strange noises, and mysterious lights drift among the trees. The rain diminishes with the dawn but a moody grey-purple twilight prevails. Within the misty gloom the small band will encounter something that reveals in a terrifying instant what is happening to the world -- something that is hunting them with ruthless efficiency.

I really liked how this started and it was doing ok then I got bored by the end I was glad it was ending. Someone told me this was one of his best books it kinda puts me off reading anymore if that’s the case.

The GREATEST show
This was a movie that seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere, but swept the whole world - myself included. I love the beating, human heart at the core of everything this movie is, along with the fantastic, passionate cast and wonderful musical numbers.

I work in a movie theatre, and this movie was still selling out in June, having come out at the end of December the previous year. THAT many people can't be wrong - I certainly don't think they are.
