Excellent narration (on audible) (2 more)
Very funny
Brilliant characters
Steampunk vamp & werewolf fun
Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series is absolutely brilliant, and this is the first in the series, following the soulless protagonist Alexia Tarrabotti on her adventures with vampires and werewolves in Victorian Britain, with twists and turns aplenty.
I listened to this via Audible, and really enjoyed it... So I'd urge anyone to pick up these books (either physical, or audiobook), as it's extremely enjoyable.
The style of writing is excellent, and Carriger has a wicked sense of humour.
I now need to start the Finishing School series!

strange and weird.
Just Strange Overall
Parasite- i heard excellent things about it, people rating it 9's and 10's. Calling it "one of the best movies of 2019", calling it "one of the best movies all of time". All of the hype, all of the rewards, all of the critcism, was it deserved well yes and no. Here is the thing the movie was okay. Bong Joon-Ho does a excellent depicking the rich and the poor. Other than that, the movie was hard to follow. Im not the biggest fan of foreign language films cause their are hard to follow. But i do like some foreign language films. One of my favorites is "Pans Labyrinith". "Cronos", "Let The Right One In", "The Orphanage", Juila's Eyes", "The Devil's Backbone" and "Thelma". Are all excellent Foreign langauge films. Its just this one i couldnt get into.
The plot: Greed and class discrimination threaten the newly formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.
Should it got all of these awards, well yes and no. Like i said it does a excellent job depicking the rich from the poor, class conflict, social inequality and wealth disparity. Bong Joon-Ho did a excellent job wih the subject matter. Just for me it was kinda of boring, hard to follow and just strange. I dont if i should of gotten all of those rewards, i mean it was well desvered but their were better movies.
I know other loved this film, just me i didnt. Again this is my opinion. I just want people to know that. Watch it if you want to. Just the hype was overhyped for me.

Great twists
Great British Drama
One of the best British Dramas I've seen in ages. Only watched it along with the second series earlier this year. Quite short at 5 episodes but it really packs a punch. The tension and drama as the story unravels is excellent.

Interesting take on the super hero genre
Really interesting show, that leaves you wanting to know more after each episode. The story is confusing but slowly unwinds. The actors are also excellent through out. For more details have a review on my blog.

Love Jane Isaac's books; they are always riveting reads with great story lines and excellent characters ... once again, she doesn't disappoint and I look forward to reading the next instalment. Highly recommended and thanks to Legend Press for providing me with a copy in return for my thoughts.

Sep 5, 2017
Stylistically excellent, but at quite a slow pace. I would have liked to have seen more bad guys taken down by hacking evidence passed to the police (like a geeky Dexter). Overall very good with some twists and turns. The least charismatic main character ever but it somehow works.
