Fun and Over The Top!
I read a lot of thrillers and I am getting harder to please but I'm happy to say that For Your Own Good pleased me!
This book had me hooked and I read it in super quick time. It is full of thoroughly unlikeable characters where few had any redeeming qualities and I have to admit that I actually smiled when at least one of them came to their sticky end!
The story is written from various points of view and whilst this puts you right into the heads of the characters, it does take away some of the tension and thrills but it was fun being in the heads of people who had clearly lost the plot!
This was a fun and over the top read that I would recommend to those who are able to put reality and plausibility aside for a few hours and just hop on and enjoy the ride.
My thanks go to Penguin Michael Joseph UK and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

From high school debate team to a super star character I feel like this story has it all. Adanna Nkwachi is living up to her parents dreams by choosing one of their approved professions. She is top tier debater on her way to going to law school, but things begin to change as she learns more about why her brother left and living his dreams as a poet.
All while this is going on her cousin Genny is getting married to Afrobeats superstar Skeleboy. This story has a lot going on and def has range from hs debate to wedding preparations. TBH I was sucked in by the wedding aspect of it all since I just finished the book Destination Wedding by Diksha Basu. I love the excitement of love birds and the drama that goes into making the wedding happen. There is always some tea and I am here for it. The cherry on top was the groom is a famous singer which was something different that gives off JLOs Let's get married vibez <3 <3 <3

Really disliked it.
As a person who has friends that struggle with suicide, this was very hard to watch. Especially the scene when she actually commits suicide. Sure, it raises awareness of how your actions affect others. But I think it the suicide scene was unnecessary and does the opposite of raising awareness of teen suicide. If anything, it glorifies it, showing young and impressionable viewers how it can be done. Not to mention it was predictable and just over the top.

Amazing range of Sfx
A mindbending strange film
Another super hero Marvel film that will dazzle your eyes, if not your mind. All the magic, space, time and other dimensions makes it feel less connected to the rest of the Marvel universe. It's totally over the top, but the range of Sfx shots it leads to are amazing. A bit like inception on steroids. Interesting visually but the story will probably wash over you.

Top notch animation
Another hit in the LEGO franchise
This is probably one of the best parody movies in recent memory. It is hilarious from start to finish and the voiceover cast is brilliant. I enjoyed the Lego movie more than I thought I would the first time I saw it and I enjoyed this even more. Do yourself a favour, no matter what age you are, give this a watch and I promise you will not regret it.

In the 100th year of women gaining the vote in the UK, this book is ideal for introducing young people to one of the leading names in that struggle. As a book in a school library or classroom, available for project work or a book borrowed from a library by an active parent, this book gives the background without being too over the top with the politics, allowing curious minds to question and discussions about equality and rights to follow.

Not a Great Watch
Contains spoilers, click to show
I watched this with a open mind and no idea of what i was letting myself in for. Its a pakistani horror film that mixes Pet Sematary and The Omen, though to no good effect. Its too laid down with pointless scenes and monologues. I gave it a 3 rating as the idea was good and Pari (the girl of the title seemed to relish her part

I don't know about this one. I'm not sure if it has an anime series, or if it's just a manga, but this first volume leaves a lot to be desired. (I just looked, and I guess there is an anime series. I hope it's better!) It's fine in some parts, and in others, the story seems to just appear out of nowhere. It may have potential, but volume 2 won't be moved to the top of my reading pile.
