The wildly wacky novel that features Thursdays you can't get the handle of and teaches the importance of towels. The plot involves aliens and the last human's journey after Earth is destroyed. If you haven't read it yet, you are in for a treat.

The journey home with the dragon is filled with danger when they encounter a storm and must land on an island with the dangerous disease of curiosity. While not quite as imaginative as the first book, it is still fun for all ages.

Faultless acting
I remember finishing the PS3 version and being in awe. Just recently replayed the remaster. Is hard to improve on perfection but it brings the graphics up well.
What a masterpiece. Never has a game brought me to tears of both sadness and joy. An incredible journey of emotion and heart pounding action. Do yourself a favour and play it.

Journeys, love, loss and hope
This book was great! It is reminiscent of The Passage and The Road. Equal parts hopeful and despairing, this novel slowly reels you in and makes you care about its characters and their journey. The ending, though bittersweet, is masterful. There are only a few spots where the plot falters but these are easily forgivable in light of the finished product.

Wouldn't watch it again
I wasn't expecting the subtitles, and while I understand the creative choice I think they took away from the story. The story itself failed to be unique or interesting with few moments that could set it apart from any other journey home movie. Some people might enjoy the art of this movie, but overall it definitely wasn't my thing.

Choice of setting
This is probably one of the best films I've watched this year. I love Steve McQueen's direction style, and the cinematography worked brilliantly. The cast was strong, and all of the performances were great. It was interesting, and I was engaged the whole time with the story. Some of it may have been predictable, but it was the journey there that was enjoyable.

Book Rating
The first book in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series, this is probably best described as the novel equivalent of a road-movie, starting (as it does) with it's protaganist already on the run, and following her journey.

The book is pretty fast moving, with the reasons for Joanne Baldwin being on the run gradually revealed throughout. Think I will be reading some more of these!

Adorable Journey
An old man finds out his old friend is dying and writes her a letter and goes to post it but walks past the postbox and keeps walking.
This is such a sweet lovely book that highlights all the beautiful things about humanity. It is an adorable gorgeous book
