However, the rest of the film seems like something of an afterthought. The story follows super-surgeon Steven Strange (not that one) trying everything possible to heal his badly damaged hands after a car crash that he caused himself by being an arrogant twat. This desire to fix his hands takes him to Tibet where he is taught lots of waving arms and making orange sparks appear in the air. All of this is rushed through and he just suddenly manages it. Once he manages to use the mystical power the first time he suddenly becomes a master at it ("we need a montage") and becomes his old arrogant, know-it-all self. And then he starts battling Mads Mikkelson, gets a magic cloak and stops the end of the world.
I'll be honest - very little of this film makes sense, and that's in the context of the Marvel Universe. What he's doing with his power, how he's doing it and what he is ultimately capable of is barely explained and you just have to accept it.
I hope Doctor Strange is a critical component of the Infinity Wars storyline, otherwise this was just a very pretty waste of time (a bit like Kelly Brook).

Seriously the only word I can think that sums up Strange the Dreamer. Laini Taylor has such a way with words that just pulls you into the amazing worlds she writes and Strange the Dreamer does this from beginning to end. The world she builds is honestly anything but a fairytale but the images she uses through out the book are just so vivid that even through all the horror you want to go there Weep is a place that holds nothing but awful memories but the way she writes it you want to see it feel and just breathe it all in.
The Characters she's created this time around are all so diverse and though you genuinely don't like a few of the characters you want to know more about for me it was Minya. She is hands down my favorite character from the book she is just so fascinating that I could read a series solely about her. Lazlo is also a favorite he is just such a wonderful protagonist that you want to get everything he does about and on that note, Taylor went above and beyond with Lazlo's dream sequences that I just wanted to jump right into the pages and live in them.
I could probably go on forever about how much I just loved this book and I am going to die to wait for the next book.

The dystopian society in this book has effectively banished most feelings. But to get rid of hate and war and prejudice, they also had to banish the memories and feelings of individuality and difference. With everyone and everything the same, they’re mostly incapable of feeling true love or happiness. So they all live in peace – but it’s a complacent, uncaring peace. It’s not peace because of love, it’s peace because of the absence of passionate feelings. Whether this is good or not, well, that’s up to the reader to decide for themselves. The actions of the main character, who aims to disrupt that peace, could be seen as good or bad.
I’m not actually entirely sure how I feel about this book. After reading the next three – Gathering Blue (2000), Messenger (2004), and Son (2012), I'm still at a bit of a loss. These were just...odd.
