The format of the show is great
One of the best
I discovered The Weekly Planet back in late 2014 and once I listened to a few episodes, I immediately went back and listened to all of the previous episodes of the podcast that I could find. I have now listened to every single episode and continue to keep up with the new weekly episodes. This show is fantastic for any fan of comic book movies.

A great story
The circus and the characters are brillliant
Absolutely spectacular
It's been a while since I read this book but I remember being in complete awe of it. Every single word has a purpose, it's as if each one is specially selected to realise the novel's potential and it's quite rare to get that.

It's mesmerising and beautiful and it's nice to see magic used with subtlety yet still being important without overshadowing. It's difficult to believe this was a debut novel!

Helping Love Last.
Five Languages you probably don't realize are real. Talking in love languages is amazing. He does such a great job explaining them. How to learn to talk in the other persons love language as well as your own. It is helping me save my relationship with my boyfriend. It helped my parents learn to better show love to the other person. Well written.

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:




I kinda liked how this one ended. A horribly nice death for a character who was kinda silly and pointless anyway. Their whole arc felt jarring, at even at the end, when we know their single character trait they've been given, it felt really strange for the character to act the way they did.

Huuuuuuuh... 4 more books...

The pacing was good, the use of music was so impressive. The cast were amazing and the story lines were believable and relatable (0 more)
Some of the violence (0 more)
Thrilling interesting and twisty
I really loved this series and while I sometimes flinched away at the use of sexual violence it portrayed it did so with a purpose rather then to revel in the responses.
As a single mother I could relate to the struggles of motherhood when even when you try your best you never feel good enough.

Elvis Presley: The Searcher was put together beautifully and was very moving. Hearing Tom Petty's voice narrate a large portion made it all the more special.

If music was a religion Graceland would be its church, Through Elvis' gospel your soul you'd search. To the stars you're gonna reach, When you hear Elvis Presley preach. Like his legs you're gonna be shook, And a back you will be took. I strive to be half the man that was EP, And every single day I just TCB.

Oliver! by Lionel Bart
Oliver! by Lionel Bart

Album Favorite

"Who Will Buy?' turns into an awesome round, "ripe strawberries, ripe!" It's good, Oliver! is pretty flawless. It's the same as The Sound Of Music: these are classics for a reason. You know every single fucking song. You've been brought up with it. It's a shame Bill Sikes doesn't have a song, and I wonder if that's because Lionel Bart understanding that when a character sings a song they are given some kind of motivation for their acts. He is the most evil character."
