an incredibly interesting concept with a fast paced plot (3 more)
very interesting structure of the book as a book within a book, etc.
a thought provoking commentary on gender, religion, power, war and the future of these things, even with hints towards the dangerous future of chemical/atomic/nuclear weaponry
i am sure that this will be made into a movie (it really is of grand proportions) and i can only hope they do it justice
truly disturbing at times (0 more)
THANK YOU FOR THIS NOVEL NAOMI ALDERMAN
i cannot encourage anyone to read this book enough. what a concept for a novel!! especially biting from the perspective of a female reader, it reads as a disturbing and compelling gender political satire that sometimes hits a little too close to home. i implore you to read it and reconsider the gender political landscape of our modern society

You can't beat a movie with a Basilisk
As the second in the series, Chamber of Secrets knocks it out of the park. It might not be my favorite in the series but that is a poor choice of words, they are all tremendous.

Chamber of Secrets for me, hits the hardest at the very end of the movie. The tone of the movie as a whole is much darker than our first outing in The Sorcerer's Stone, but the end is very tragic and traumatic and thought provoking. You have the backstory on the main villain of the series, the potential death of a couple of main characters... there is a just a lot going on!

This is one of the series that I can put on and just enjoy as background noise. Worth a re-watch if it has been a while for you.

_____ 5 stars

This was an intense and very thought provoking read. It's anything but light and Dawkins certainly likes to pack a punch.
I imagine with this one that Dawkins is perhaps already preaching to the converted though as I think they are the only ones that would consider picking this one up.
I was not raised in a religious family but I did attend a Church of England school, looking back on it now after reading this book I can see the brainwashing in full force.
Dawkins makes numerous fantastic arguments against the existence of God and why religion is ultimately 'evil' and at times truly 'laughable'.
If you are sitting on the fence and not sure which way to go when it comes to your faith then definitely read this book.

Addictive
Started Detroit become human after finishing studying for the year... played it through over the space of 2 weeks a couple of hours every other night so it's not the longest game, BUT it is addictive, thought provoking and you find yourself really rooting for your characters even though at times they are pitted against each other. The map that shows percentages is interesting too as you see what other players chose. Your characters are not safe from a sticky end btw so choose wisely! My ending was played by 3% of other players and I would play again to get a different ending. Would recommend!
The digital deluxe version also comes with a copy of heavy rain which is also worth a play but worth playing that before Detroit as the graphics do not compare.
