I finished Season 1.
It was okay. I enjoyed the fight scenese, but prefer both Skull Island and King of the Monsters to this.
Continuing to make my way through the Fox X-Men Films.
This was a fun movie. A good way to spend a couple of hours.

Monday Musings for June 8, 2020

I had a pretty good week.

Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson by Lyndsay Faye

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Lyndsay Faye has written a wonderful pastiche about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson’s investigation into the Ripper Killing. The solution is satisfying, and I became quite attached to the character of Miss Monk. Worth the time of any Holmes fan.

Treasure Island by Marty Ross

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my first experience with Treasure Island, and the adaptation was superb. The actors did wonderfully and I was drawn into the story. Highly recommend.

The Dark City by Max Allan Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fascinating look into Eliot Ness and his start as Safety Director of Cleveland. Ness has just gotten hired and there is a ticking clock to get some results so that his budget can be passed. Without it, he’s a lame duck before he even starts. Highly recommended.

Monday Musings for May 18, 2020

I had a pretty productive week last week. I finished four books:

Sea Wall/A LifeSea Wall/A Life by Simon Stephens

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Both of these were pretty good. Sea Wall lost me a bit at the end. A Life just floored me.

Billy Kelly: This Is a Family Show!Billy Kelly: This Is a Family Show! by Billy Kelly

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked it. Some of the jokes were clever and the songs were catchy. I probably wouldn’t listen to it again, but it would be fun for someone taking a family vacation to listen to in the car.

The Likely Resolutions of Oliver ClockThe Likely Resolutions of Oliver Clock by Jane Riley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, I did not think that I was going to like this book as much as I did. It was one of the free selections for Prime members and I picked it up. It struck a chord in me though. I see a lot of myself in Oliver Clock, and was glad to see him make some positive changes in his life. I was sorry to see him go.
