Pace of story
It was ok but important to read for other books
I'm a big fan of Dale's books but this one is just very slow with a disappointing amount of action that it builds up to. I like how he's thought about the reunification of Korea and it would be nice if that's how it happened (minus the nukes) but there's little action compared to a lot of his books.
However, it introduces a lot of themes and characters that become very important in later books so I definitely recommend reading it if you're going to read more Patrick McLanahan books!

Cait (5 KP) rated Disney Heroes: Battle Mode in Apps
Jun 26, 2019
I've nearly been playing this game for a year now, and I have to say, it is my favourite game I've ever had on my phone. There are so many different characters to play as, and there are so many game play options from surge to invasion, to guild war. I love the idea of collecting and powering up my favourite Disney characters. There are ways to work alone against computers as well as other people's teams. There are also ways to battle along side your guild, working together. The game is great!

Very good. Not great though.
A host of new characters, some reunions with old characters, some lovely Easter Eggs. But a rather tired plot, and a 20minute lull two thirds of the way through.
The animation once again is absolutely phenomenal, Pixar just keep pushing the boundaries and improving on what is achievable with animation.
There was some humour throughout, but a lot less than usual with Toy Story, and to be honest a lot less charm than we're used to.
And those freaky bloody dummies. They creep me right out.
A good family film, but did not quite meet my (admittedly high) expectations.

Wonderfully daft
After watching the tv series, I knew what to expect from the book and plot wise, there is very little difference between the two. But as always, the book is a lot better than the series.
I’m a big fan of Terry Pratchett, and this is a wonderful story showcasing his storytelling talents. It’s fun, entertaining, and full of British humour which comes across a lot better in the book than it does in the show. It’s a great story with some brilliant characters, although I do think it’s a rather unthreatening irreverent take on the end of the world, but i suppose that’s Pratchett all over.
