"This was the first thriller I ever saw—on our eleven-inch black-and-white TV set in the small living room of my parents’ home in the suburbs of Birmingham. It was the most romantic and exciting thing I had ever seen, and I can still get lost in it today. The 39 Steps is the blueprint for all the classic Hitchcock films that would follow. Sexy stars, fantastic locations, and quirky cliff-hanger scenes that you want to watch over and over. In this film, it is the Mr. Memory scene that I look forward to most, and every time I see it, it still makes me jump!"

This was a good entertaining film, with some great actors, cool SFX and a decent story. However personally I feel the comparisons of Bourne Identity crossed with Inception is very misleading. If anything this is a romantic film with a bit of Sci-Fi and witty dialogue thrown in. The SFX towards the end is a tiny bit similar to Inception and other than Matt Damon starring and being on the run that's all it has in common with the Bourne Identity. If anything it reminded more of Serendipity, a film about fate, chance and destiny when it comes to love. Still a very good film to watch but it's not all out action or a thriller.

A good but unremarkable read
This is one of those books that I struggle to say much about. It was a nice, easy read but was ultimately very unremarkable. It was written fairly well, and the two main characters of Kate and Nova were engaging and well developed. I think the main problem with this story was that whilst the plot isn’t bad, it’s a bit predictable and not particularly interesting. Nova’s story is the more interesting of the two, and her outlook on life once she gets her vision back along with her ‘rules of seeing’ are fascinating and good to read. I just wish the plot could have concentrated more on this rather than developing into a typical romantic thriller type story.
