September 08, 2017Episode 37; InnocenceAny tale by Roald Dahl is worth reading in my opinion, his ability to delight and disgust are second to none within the children literature category.This book however is aimed a different audience but it still has the power to capture the imagination of adults. Whether it's through his autobiographical work or stories this book will run you through a mixture of emotions and show to everyone what a treasure Dahl was and still is to this day. innocence_review.mp3Fil [...]...more9minPlay

September 08, 2017Episode 39; Phasma: Star Wars: Star Wars, The Last Jedi, ReviewDeliah S. Dawson does the job I wish The Force Awakens was able to do and give the First Order a level of menace that you have to pay attention to. Within the 12 hour running time of Phasma we get a glimpse at the person underneath the chrome armour and it certainly leaves an impact that I did not feel watching the film.The story is narrated by January LaVoy and helps to give me greater hope that the Last Jedi will give us the villains we deserve. phasma_review.mp [...]...more11minPlay

August 14, 2017Episode 33; Raising Boys and Raising Girls , a comparison ReviewAlthough these books cover the raising of children they are very focused on the specific details of the gender divide. This allows for some very focused analysis and practical help. Nonetheless I felt a joint review would benefit as their were advantages for myself listening to both. The presentation of the books is first class and so the narration by Damien Warren-Smith helps to round off these interesting and most of all helpful audiobooks. raising_boys_and_raising_girls_review.mp [...]...more11minPlay
August 14, 2017Episode 34; The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger, Reviewfeels From a point of ignorance having not read the series before or seen the Film Paul dived into the Magnum Opus that is The Dark Tower with its first book The Gunslinger.With a mix of Fantasy and Western with a plash of sci-fi Stephen King proves he is a master storyteller with this hook of a book. I say "Hook" as there is a meal here but it feels like it is just wetting the appetite for the series to come. dark_tower_i_the_gunsligner_review.mp3File Size [...]...more10minPlay
