Hi Guys I'm still not very good at keeping this up to date. I will try harder!
 
I've read a few books and watched a few films since I last updated this blog. So I'm going to review one book and one film today.
 
The book I'm going to review is The Shock of Fall by Nathan Filer
 

‘I’ll tell you what happened because it will be a good way to introduce my brother. His name’s Simon. I think you’re going to like him. I really do. But in a couple of pages he’ll be dead. And he was never the same after that.’
There are books you can’t stop reading, which keep you up all night.

This book got me going from the very first page I read this book in a couple of days very easy to read. Its takes you on a journey through a mans mental health issues. I would give this book 4 stars. It is also the winner of the costa book of the year 2013.

The Film for today is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

 
Ben Stiller directs and stars in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, James Thurber's classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) are threatened, Walter takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.
 
I found this film really good, as I got into it, a bit slow at first. I will watch this one again. Ben Stiller does a great job in this film I will give this one 4 stars out of five.
