Deborah (162 KP) rated Always a Scoundrel (Notorious Gentlemen, #3) in Books

Dec 21, 2018

This is the third and final book in Enoch's The Notorious Gentlemen series. Overall I really enjoyed this, and if in the second book I thought the villains got off a bit too likely, the villain in the third book is really made to pay for his sins! I did wonder how the hero and heroine were going to get out of the sticky situation, but a very good solution indeed!

All three books had strong characters and good storylines and I do like books in a series where you meet characters and then see their story, and they can still turn up in future books.

Book Rating

I read this book to my sons when they were of an age to appreciate it. We all enjoyed it, especially as we all made a weekly pilgrimage to the local library on a Saturday to swap our read books for fresh reads.

Colfer takes a classic tale of the plucky heroes pitted against an evil villain (in this case the titular librarian) and had a great deal of fun with it. It is an easy read, funny and engaging and enough jokes aimed at younger children and adults for it not to be a chore for parents to read. And of course a great introduction to the author.

It's not deadpool

It's a bit of fun, I enjoyed the movie. I didn't go expecting it to be a cinematic triumph as most Dc films have let us down so far. (Shazaam, joker, hold your heads up high) but I came away not disappointed. Its a fun mess of a movie that is all over the place kind of like the mind of one Harleen Quinzel. Ewan Mcgregor is a decent villain, Margot is stunning even when she is battered and bruised.
