It is clean and there is no violence
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I'm going to struggle with this review, and I apologise for that. The reviews for books that do not garner much of any feelings from me (either positive or negative) I find the hardest to write.

I liked the tale, I did, it just came across a bit sappy for me. I liked the twist as to who/what Clarence really is, although I kinda saw something along those lines coming at me.

It is clean, there is no violence, save for the shark getting caught in the fishing net. I've tagged it Young Adult, because I think this is probably more suited to an upper teen (14-18) than for me.

First I've read of this author. Will I read more? Not of this series, no. Possibly something else, though.

I DID finish it, so that's why I gave it. . .

The style of the movie and the natural rhythm of Baby made this movie one of my favorites of the year! I loved every second of the soundtrack and how well it dragged the movie through the storyline. It was such a different way of telling a movie. The gore and violence was a little extreme but paired with the softness of the movie, even the most sensitive could get past that and enjoy the underlying tone.

I really enjoyed this film. I loved the way that it explored the gritty streets of Victorian London and the acting is superb, especially from Olivia Cooke and Bill Nighy. The ending is a little predictable but I don't feel this ruins the film as it is still extremely well done and extremely clever. Just a warning though there is a lot of gore and violence. So if you're not a fan of that stuff then be aware what you're in for.
