Elizabeth (1521 KP) rated Fifty Shames of Earl Grey in Books
Apr 24, 2019
This book is to Fifty Shades as Spaceballs is to Star Wars and Scary Movie is to Scream. It is a witty, satirical look at the Fifty Shades trilogy with plenty of Twilight references thrown in for good measure. If you are among the readers that didn't take Fifty Shades too seriously to begin with, then you will love this book. A light, entertaining read with loads of fun 80's pop culture references that will keep you laughing from beginning to end.
Looking forward to reading the sequel, Fifty Shames in Space.

Awful one-dimensional dialogue
The Tessa Thompson/Chris Hemsworth Ragnarok chemistry never materialises
Lazy, formulaic and pretty pointless.
The latest MiB is a mere shadow of the former Sonnenfeld trilogy. Perhaps if they put a blinky light in my face I can forget it again? Read the full review on One Mann's Movies here - https://bob-the-movie-man.com/2019/06/16/one-manns-movies-film-review-men-in-black-international-2019/
I read books 1 and 2 with an air of "hmmm, it's okay, but not really doing much for me.." I read it because Daemon amused me. Then I got to book 3.
At first, I felt pretty much the same.. it's an okay read, but nothing major.
Then I hit the final chapter
What the ever-loving fuck just happened?
For a heart-sinking moment I thought it was the last book of a trilogy... then I realised book 4 was waiting in the wings... holy mother of god... this series just got good.

I enjoyed this book more than Chance's Cassie Palmer novels set in the same universe. While I think I would have twigged to some bits more quickly if I had paid more attention to the earlier trilogy, this novel does stand alone (mostly). The references you don't get aren't truly necessary to understand the characters and the plot.
I did get rather annoyed at the characters who brought pain to themselves because of making too many assumptions about people around them, but I suppose poor communication skills are very common, even in fantasy worlds.

I saw this movie on Netflix and within the first few minutes I was in love with the story and of course, Peter Kavinsky. It was like the perfect teen romance novel. To my delight, it was! A trilogy dedicated to the love story of Lara Jean and Peter. After reading the books, I feared I wouldn’t love the movie anymore. That’s not the case though. The movie was true to the quirkiness of the book. I will find pleasure in both rereading the book series and rewatching the movie!

Basically, Star Wars 'what-if's'.
What if Lukes attack run on the original Death Star had failed?
What if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth?
What if the attempt to free the frozen-in-Carbonitite Han from Jabba the Hutt had failed?
And, most intriguingly, what had George Lucas's original vision looked like?
As in any compilation, some of these stories are better than others - it's also quite easy to spot the similarities between Lucas's original vision and the Prequel trilogy (most noticeably in how Leia is portrayed)!

I'm sad that this will only be a trilogy, but, it certainly went out with a bang.
Kim is in Berlin under the guise of being an official's wife. Let's just say, that lasts all of 5 seconds. The story is quickly paced, and a tad predictable. There weren't really any loose ends that we're tied up. I definitely plan on buying this series of books so I can read them again.
I wouldn't mind seeing more books about people with talents, perhaps set a little further into the future, or in the past.
