It's not easy to write a novel which is so philosophically thought provoking it is likely to turn your world views on their head. Which is educational and enlightening. And yet which is a great page turner of an adventure story with twists and turns aplenty. A good book is judged for me by how it has changed you after you have finished reading it. This fulfilled this in so many ways. Superb!

Rollercoaster ride
A rollercoaster through time and spirit!
This glorious piece of fiction isn't so much a flowing, chronological novel as it is a series of stories with little life lessons and morals throughout.. Witty and dark with an easygoing take on a heavy spiritual topic akin to Tom Robbins or Vonnegut, this is a must-read both for the rollercoaster ride of adventure but also for some thought-provoking spiritual qualms.

A Great Sci-Fi Thriller
I watched this yesterday afternoon and I thought is was a very enjoyable sci-fi thriller.
I'm a fan of films which explore interesting ideas and have twists and turns and so 'I am Mother' ,was just my kind of film.
The acting was very good, particularly by the young actress who plays 'daughter'. At first, because the actress is younger, I thought this was going to be a stereotypical teen dystopian movie with some cheesy teen romance through in for good measure, but I was pleasantly surprised how it was more mature than that.
The interesting relationship 'daughter' has with 'Mother' was really interesting. Even though 'Mother' is a machine, the two main characters have some real emotion in their relationship. I think that might have something to do with 'Mother' voice not being metallic, but more 'human'.
This film explores thought provoking ideas, as well has having great tension and action. I also liked the twist towards the end of the film.
The only slight complaint that I had with this film, was that the ending was a tad predictable. However, I still feel that this is satisfactory.
This film is really thought provoking sci-fi film and I would definitely recommend watching it.

Great Thriller
Contains spoilers, click to show
A great cat and mouse thriller in a way, just leaves you guessing who is the cat and the mouse. Some might find it a bit dark in subject matter etc, with some of the scenes as well. How far is the girl prepared to go with her scare tactics. Almost like the little red riding hood tale with the roles reversed, notice her top? Great acting from the leads and quite thought provoking.

Funny, Silly and Enjoyable
This is a laugh-out-loud film, with lots of slapstick, physical comedy, toilet humour and silly jokes.
There's nothing high-brow or thought-provoking about Men in Black, but the contrast of Will Smith's relaxed persona with Tommy Lee-Jones's straight-laced, deadpan character makes for a great partnership.
Men in Black doesn't try to be something it isn't; it's just a fun movie with some heartwarming moments and lots of laughs.

"Boys are good for nothing but eating and sleeping"-- The Hidden Coronet.
Great books! couldn't put them down started on page one and when I surfaced found myself on page 100. I enjoyed finding more about what happened with the makers and it kept me on my toes about well, I don't want spoliers. Let's just hope Raffi, Carys, The Sekoi, and Galen can save the world and not be destroyed in the process.
