Tabletop Game Rating
Another in the Tiny Epic series, this one take the trope of co-op zombie survival games and turns it into a small package. The component quality is great, with sweet looking motorcycle and car that your Meeples can fit in, as well as each character Meeple able to hold weapons.

Gameplay wise, the object is for the human players to complete three randomly objectives while the zombies (either controlled by an automa or another human player) tries to eat the civilians/players while running around 8 different rooms around a central courtyard. Combat is done with either rolling in melee, or spending ammo for ranged. There's a great risk vs. reward with ranged and melee, with ranged being consistent, but spends a resource every time, while melee can potentially lose health, but can also go on a zombie killing rampage. The health system is a balance between health and ammo. If your ammo is ever less then the damage you've taken, you get eaten instantly.

I found that playing can be a little bit finicky, especially if the zombie is an automata instead of a human. The pieces are tiny (appropriate) and the gameplay can be stressful ( appropriate for a zombies coop). The missions can be a bit annoying at times and aren't equally fun or challenging.

All in all, tiny epic zombies is a serviceable co-op game that fits its theme very well and definitely looks great.

Complex range of human emotion in this coming of age book
I read this book after watching the film so I made a lot of comparisons. For one while there are scenes that completely match the book, there are quite a lot of parts missing in the film. No doubt the book is far more detailed - I loved the film so reading it was equally pleasurable. It's more than a coming of age film, it explores prejudice, mental health, sexuality, abuse, so it's more meaningful than expected. Written in a series of letters, Charlie has symptoms of some kind of mental health issue that isn't explicitly mentioned so his attitude to the world is very straightforward yet complex. He watches human behaviour more than participating in social situations. My only gripe is that the writing is pretty bad, and I'm accounting this to the fact the author is trying to write as a 16 year-old boy. Easy to read though.
