Milleen (47 KP) rated Her Perfect Life in Books

Nov 14, 2018 (Updated Nov 14, 2018)

If you enjoy psychological drama, add this to your reading list. This happens to be Sam Hepburn's debut in this genre after much success writing young adult thrillers. This is an examination of how far someone would go to create a perfect life. Juliet, a single-mum struggling to pay her bills and earn a living and Gracie, television darling and star of her own 'Cooking with Gracie'. Their paths cross and the women strike up an unlikely friendship, but things are not quite as they seem. This is a gripping narrative that keeps you guessing right up to the last chapter. Hepburn has given the reader plenty to think about, this is a bestseller for good reason.

Oct 20, 2019

Almost wholly inept British sci-fi B-movie. Aliens abduct a shed containing two astronomers, their secretary, an accountant, and the institute's tea lady in order to secure their help in repelling an attack on the Earth.

Starts slow, is dull in the middle, gets very silly towards the end (it's the kind of movie which seems to assume that the audience for SF films is made up of very young children and congenital idiots). Production values and special effects manage to be even worse than you'd expect, but deserves such a low score mainly because it doesn't contain a single interesting or original idea. Every bit as poor as its reputation would suggest.
