Mike (8 KP) rated Seriously Funny: The Endlessly Quotable Terry Pratchett in Books
Oct 10, 2018
Lovely looking little book, smaller than I was expecting, but it is really nice. No dust jacket but a nice thick textured cover and inner pages that make you feel dizzy!
I read it this evening and I'll be completely honest - I was a bit disappointed, although it is a pretty book, it is also pretty thin - 128 pages.including a title page, printing information page, contents page, blank page, Overview, another blank page, 1 page mini bio, 105 quotes*, 4 pages of "By Terry Pratchett" lists.
I think that for £9.99 they could have found more than 105 "seriously funny" quotes from over 50 books and other sources - there isn't even one from each Discworld book. Even some illustrations would have been nice (9 repeats of the same hat picture is not very exciting).
Obviously as a collectore I had to buy it - as will most of us, does it does seem a bit of a "cash in" just to make money out of us, they are pretty much guaranteed to sell over a million copies so they could have made it more substantial for the money.
Still made me laugh out loud a couple of times though.

What job for Elsie?
The about is based on reading this book to my 5 and a half month old son.
What I did like with this book is the inclusion of disscussion points. These are perfect to engage an older child who has read the book or had it read to them.

I'm not a huge gamer but know enough to have been able to follow this. I went in really not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! This was an intense movie with a lot of 80s and (obviously) video game references, likable characters, and a nice blend of animation/CGI and real life. Now I've got to get the book!

Review on behalf of my 5yo
My 5yo daughter absolutely adores this film. She loves the characters, the singing and dancing. This is one of her go-to movies when she's feeling poorly. The plot is nice and easy to follow for young ones. Has a lovely feel good factor about it.
Well worth a watch just for the music.

As a lover of everything vampires, I loved this show. I thought that it had a nice pace and great character development. I fell in love with Damon the second he came on my screen. As the season went on, I fell more in love with the characters. I would recommend this show to anyone who loves vampires, drama and teen shows.

'There's a nice mindless blaster with lots of colour and energy. But it's a bit hidden by busywork in the menus, endless upgrading and meter-watching on the planetary surface, shameless creative borrowings in the art department - and hefty bills at the Amazon checkout.'

Chelsea Lynn Woomer (0 KP) rated After (2019) in Movies

After?
As someone who read the After series, I feel like the movie could've been better. Scenes moved through too quick and one of the main characters Hardin Scott was portrayed as a nice, kind guy in the movie. Overall I feel like After would be better as a Netflix series which would comprise of three seasons, one for each book.
