Brilliantly 3D, complex but completely loveable characters (2 more)
Great backstories
Mix of hilarity and all the feels
Utter Work of Genius!
An absolutely brilliant show of epic proportions. I loved the characters, their histories, their journey, the feels, the laughter, the crying, the utter complexity of what makes Minchin and Alcock just so blumming fabulous. I loved their random friendship and how much they meant to each other. Just brilliant.

What a lovely little book, fairies and friendship all combine when the wind blows up a storm leaving the fairies in trouble, happily there is one little fairy who loves the rain and is happy to welcome others and all is good in the end. As a story, this could be a great way to support little ones who find wind and heavy rain difficult to cope with or just a lovely memory for your little one to remember and keep the magic of nature alive.

A story about loving yourself even when society tells you not to. Willowdean is a plus size girl and the daughter of a pageant queen. She lives in contrast to her mother who lives based on appearances. Will decides to enter a beauty pageant as a form of protest to the perceived perfection they target and learns a lot about herself, friendship, and family. The message of body positivity and loving yourself/embracing yourself for who you are is very heartwarming. One worth rewatching.

In the beginning, I didn't care too much for Jayne. Her sense of humor was top notch, but her lack of respect for authority figures really turned me off. Thankfully she wasn't in school long enough for me to focus that much on this flaw. Because of Jayne's strong friendship with Tony (though it started out rather unconventional), I was able to appreciate her personality. I was really craving a story that had more to it than just a plain romance and I was not disappointed!

Wow.
I have adored this series since the first book. So much happens. Love. Friendship. Death. So much time passes.
I loved all the Nephilim, all for different reasons, and I have a feeling this story will stay with me for a while.
A classic tale of good versus evil with a brilliant plot and characters. I loved the ending, some bits were sad and others were lovely. The romance was uplifting.
If you haven't read this series yet, then I definitely recommend you do.
AMAZING!

Despite Eddie Redmayne's best attempts, and the inclusion of 'Star power' in the form of Johnny Depp, the first Harry Potter prequel 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find them' didn't really set all that high a bar for any subsequent sequels.
A bar that this fails to meet.
Honestly, I found it long, boring, plodding and confusing, completely lacking in any of the sense of wonder or magic and friendship that made the original Harry Potter films so enjoyable.
Not impressed to say the least!
