"This was actually the first hardcore record I got. Someone told me that if I was into metal (check) and punk (check), then I'd like hardcore because it was a mix of the two. Whether or not that's true, I fucking love SOIA. My old band, Million Dead, were lucky enough to do some shows with them, and they remain a masterclass in a kickass live show, putting bands half their age to shame."

"I’m lucky enough to have studied with and been mentored by Kim Stanley. The Goddess, written by [Paddy] Chayevsky, was such an extraordinary film to watch. I hadn’t watched it until after I studied with Kim. Her performance is just so powerful and so extraordinary. The story is the foundation, but it was amazing to watch this woman I was studying with, and it was such an inspiration to me as an actor."

1999 | Action, Sci-Fi

"The Matrix was just such an incredible cinematic experience. I saw it when I was 13, in the cinema. I didn’t know anything about it — I hadn’t seen the trailer. It just blew my mind. I didn’t know anything about it when I first saw it. And I was lucky enough to be able to work with the Wachowskis later, years later, on Speed Racer, which I had a great time on."

This is a debut novel by this particular author and, to be honest, not one that I would have chosen to read myself but was lucky enough to have been sent an advance copy from the publisher, Legend Times Group, in return for an honest review and I am really pleased they did as I really enjoyed it.

This was really a 3.5 (oh Goodreads how I wish you'd make that an option!) I decided on a 4 though because at the end, this book made me cry. I haven't lost my mom, but I do live far away from her. Quinlan's descriptions of her mother reminded me so much of my own mom. The book was heartfelt & touching...something I plan on sharing with my own mom when I am lucky enough to see her again!

His best book IMO
An early ish Discworld book and the first to introduce Death.
Because of the vast number of Discworld books written there is a lot of crossover in the later books and a lot of folklore building. The actual stories sometimes suffer for this but not in Mort. It works as a standalone as well as part of the series.
I'm so glad and lucky to have a signed copy.
RIP Terry Pratchett.
