I love Tim's books, they always end up surprising you in the last 10% or so.

However, I didn't like this as much as the first. It might have been because it ran along the same lines as the first with the surprise or because I found myself struggling for the first 30-40% with the story line. I didn't find it as engaging as previous books I've read by the author. It was still a great story though.

Movie Rating Watch
Out of the LOTR Trilogy, this is my favorite. The scenery is beautiful, the tension is there, and all of the actors do the characters justice. The Battle of Helms Deep is, in my opinion, the best, most engaging battle on film.
It's worth mentioning that I haven't seen the theatrical cut of this film for years. The extended editions are the only versions I'll watch. The additional scenes are worth watching, and offer a more complete story.

First book of a great series
I listened to this on Audible, and really enjoyed it (so much so I'll be buying the hard copy). Fae, magic, humans, adventure, romance and spiciness... A great combination! The narration on Audible is good, and I got sucked into the story very quickly. Highly recommended for anyone into fae and fairy stuff, fantasy, and magic etc.

The book I read in one evening
This book sat on my shelf for six months before I picked it up. I must admit, I am guilty of judging a book by its cover occasionally and although it engaged me enough to pick it up in a charity shop haul, there always seemed to be something more appealing for me to pick up ahead of it.

I scanned the front cover and gave it a go and honestly I didn't put it down that evening until I had finished it. I couldn't. I had to continue hearing his story and it broke my heart in the most poignant and beautiful way.

The format is engaging and the letters, images and use of font and type really lend it a verisimilitude like no other, you are sucked into a life you never knew you cared about and he becomes close to your heart almost instantly.

Read this and be changed, be given an insight into mental health like no other.
