Book review: The Exiled Fleet (A novel of the Divide #2) by J. S. Dewes

Finding intimate character moments in the midst of a sprawling space opera may seem like a strange anomaly, but the truth is that the two go together in ways many people not familiar with genre may not fully expect. Much like movie blockbusters which neatly characters with real, fully-rounded humanity Continue Reading

Book review: Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood

Can one day change everything? If you’re Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood, it can and it does, with less than 24 hours in fact bringing about a messy kind of Road to Damascus moment for the titular character who finally confronts the one issue that ended up splintering her Continue Reading

Movie review: What’s Love Got To Do With It?

One of the criticisms levelled at romantic comedies aka rom-coms more often than not is that they are light and ephemeral as their frothy subject matter.

Not because he hasn’t been loved at all – he has always Continue Reading

Mini-mass of movie trailers: Unexpected, We Have a Ghost and The Strays

I love going out to the movies. Yes, sometimes thoughtless idiots talk through the film and there’s always popcorn on the floor and there’s the effort of getting out and about BUT it’s lovely just being with other people and experiencing a film together that is so magically intoxicating. But Continue Reading

Book review: Sincerely, Me by Julietta Henderson

There’s something entirely and innately satisfying about reading about someone who’s life has not even gone remotely where they want it to and who manages through sheer force of will or happy circumstance to turn things around. Maybe it’s because that so rarely happens in real life, at least to Continue Reading

We have grown accustomed through Pixar’s Toy Story franchise to the appealing idea that childhood is largely and wondrously trouble-free.
