Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018)
2018 | Adventure, Comedy, Family
There's a fun bunch of actors in the cast of this one. I was a little disappointed that Jack Black wasn't doing the whole film, but his little piece in it is entertaining. There's also a fun little cameo by R.L. Stine in there too. It was a little off putting seeing Chris Parnell, it hurt my brain a bit. Walter was a great character but all I could hear were Jerry and Cyril Figgis.

I always feel like I'm getting old when I watch a kids film and think, "that's quite scary for little 'uns". But there are a few good moment that give you a little jump.It's exactly what you'd expect from the film, fun spooky stuff. Nothing more, nothing less.

My favourite part of the whole movie is the last red gummy bear... keep and eye out for it.

Sorry this is such a short review, but honestly there isn't much to say about it. That's not a bad thing. The acting was good for this sort of film, it's a fun story line, the effects are quite good (thankfully no baby Jack Black like his last film) and you come away feeling like you've been entertained.

What you should do

A good halloween movie to see as a family, it's worth seeing but you could probably wait until it's out for home viewing.

Movie thing you wish you could take home

I'd say a talking gummy bear, but they're a little homicidal, and if they weren't I'd probably be in danger of eating the squishy little thing anyway. If it were possibly to get something from the film that wasn't actively trying to kill me then I'd probably books that bring things to life.

Normal People has been lauded by so many people for quite a while now, so when the TV series came out, I thought I’d better get the book down off my shelf and actually read it. I’m shockingly bad at watching TV, so I knew this was the only way I’d be able to keep up with everyone talking about it.

I’d had a bit of a love/ hate relationship with Conversations with Friends, but this was all love. A girl who doesn’t belong, has no friends, has a relationship with one of the popular boys - but no one knows. It’s a secret. Marianne seems so damaged by her family, and I really felt sorry for her. Connell lives with his mother - it has always been just the two of them. He seems quite happy with the arrangement with Marianne. In that typical way of teenagers, where they seem oblivious to the feelings of others and their reputation is everything, Connell makes it clear that his and Marianne’s arrangement is not to be made common knowledge.

Marianne reinvents herself at university, and when she meets Connell there again, it appears that their roles have been reversed.

This was a fascinating read, and captures so well the uncertainty of youth. These characters were finding their place in the world, and they really struggle. I honestly could have read on. It’s obvious that Marianne and Connell are made for one another - and I really did like how the book ended.

I say this about a lot of authors (which is why my house is heaving with books!), and hell, I’ll say it again: I can’t wait to see what Sally Rooney comes up with next.

Feel good book (0 more)
Some paragraphs not put in (0 more)
I really enjoyed this book and was just what I needed. I wanted a feel good book and this was definitely one of these. It made me smile, chuckle and get frustrated at the bad timing. I was frustrated but in a good way.
I read a lot of crime so love reading a heart warming book every now and again.
I got straight into the book and was hooked. I couldn't put this down.
There was one thing about the book that I didn't like and I realised this happens in other books by this author. The writer doesn't put a space into a new paragraph in some sections. For example: Alec and Paige are eating a meal and having a conversation. The meal has just arrived. She asks him if he is staying at the hotel and I realised after a few lines that they had finished eating and were back at the hotel but this wasn't clear as there was no break. There was just a new line but it looked like they were still talking. This happened a few times and did make it confusing when you realised it was at a different time or day.
As previously mentioned the story was so heart warming but both frustrating. Paige is hilarious and you cannot imagine someone having such bad luck. I felt embarrassed for her like a friend would.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good romance book with a bit on comedy. This gives it a really feel and relatable aspect to the book.
Despite the writing style, no clear paragraphs when the time has moved, I would purchase other books by this author.
