Slight spoiler
Spoiler:

I was thinking that it was going to be more of a mystery and a fight to prove Agnes innocence but it was really just more about the people in the book and what life was like in Iceland back then

…yeah I’ll still look it up when I’m in reading mode but I do like a great mystery/page turner as well when you struggle to not read the whole story in one sitting…

I know you said you're not ready for another Stephen King book, but I wonder if you've read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. It's not a normal "horror", it's something quite different from him, I think. If you haven't read it, it's about a a nine year old girl who gets lost in the woods while hiking with her mother and brother. It's one of my favourite King books, although to be honest, I have spoken to people who hated it. It's on Audible, read by the late Anne Heche, who did a really good job, I think.

Oh OK, that sounds interesting. I've actually read a book in between now so I'm ready for him again anyway :laugh: I'll get that one with my next credit in a couple of weeks, thanks :thumbs:

I actually download my books on audible, I spend a lot of time driving so I like to listens to books and Podcasts while I do it, it'd so reasonable too. Thank you though :love:

Hope you enjoy it @Niamh. Although now @Benjamin has said he enjoyed it we will at least know it'll be your own fault if you don't because he and I have impeccable taste.

@Livia & @Benjamin I really enjoyed it, I liked the monster bit, was it real or not and it was so engaging. Really good story, only criticism is I would have liked a longer conclusion

Ew. They compressed 7 books into that one film and cut main characters. I refuse to watch it. The books are amazing.

…oh you’ve mentioned the series before as being some of your favourites…one of my sons has read them and they’re some of his favourites too…like Niamh, I’ve only seen one of the films…but I think only one was made …?…and the story was all incomplete…

Yeah, no idea why they decided to try and put all 7 books into one film. It removed most of the actual story I imagine and they took out loads of main characters who are in the book series from start to finish.
