The fall - Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan

Hot on the heels of The Strain is the sequel The fall. The 'virus' has virtually taken hold of the city and The Master's plan is almost fully implemented - the strigoi's hold of the international power network has not been prevented, signalling an end for mankind.

As Eph attempts to protect his family, he has to place his in others - Abraham Setrakian and Vas the exterminator. His ex-wife Kelly has 'turned' and is determined to gain control of their son - something Eph must prevent at any cost.

A cliffhanger ending - what hope do the 'ancients' hold for the survival of man?

Guess we'll have to wait for instalment #3.

Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins (The hunger games 3)

Wow! What could we expect from the third in this great series. Action and reflection. Tension and tenderness. Provocative and thoughtful.

A great conclusion. An ending that was expected and not.

What are we as humankind capable of?

Thank you Suzanne for a great read.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

After reading The Road in some Level 3 exam essays the last couple of years, I decided I'd better read it. As a fan of science fiction, this post apocalyptic novel appealed. The bleak view of the world presented is tempered only by the unwavering love the father has for his son.

I cannot imagine what the film will be like - other than that Viggo will be powerful as the father.

I couldn't put it down. Powerful Level 3 essays too.
