Book Review: Bambi: A Life in the Woods/Bambi: Eine Lebensgeschichte aus dem Walde by Felix Salten (Bambi #1)

Pretty much anyone I know is familiar with the 1942 Disney movie Bambi. But far fewer people know that it’s actually based on a book by Felix Salten. Today we’re taking a look at that story! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Book Review: The Dark Crystal by A.C.H. Smith

So as much as I love the new The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Netflix original series, I never quite vibed with the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely appreciate it for it’s awesome puppetry and visual design, but the story and characters just always fell short for me. Still, being a fan of the franchise in general despite my gripes with the original movie, I just had to get the novelisation of the movie. Is it any better than the film? Let’s see. Minor spoilers ahead, but none if you've already seen the movie.

Book Review: Shadows of the Dark Crystal by J.M. Lee (Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal #1)

I’m a huge fan of the new Dark Crystal Netflix series, that’s not unknown. But now that I’ve gotten my hands on one of the prequel novels that follows the storyline from the series from a slightly different POV, how does that hold up? Let’s check it out. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Song of the Summer King by Jess. E. Owen (Summer King Chronicles #1)

Another book that’s been on my shelf for well over a year now and I really oughta take a look at. Let’s delve into this world of griffins in Song of the Summer King.

Book Review: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park #1)

I’ve been a fan of the Jurassic Park films since childhood. From my dinosaur hyperfixations to me collecting dino merch, they had a big impact on it, especially early on. I also still enjoy the modern reboots of Jurassic World. But now that I have the opportunity to take a gander at the books, does it hold up as well as the first film adaptation? Let’s find out.

Book Review: The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford

The story of three animals that trek hundreds of miles across Canada to look for their masters. It’s gotten movie adaptations, one of which I remember watching from time to time when I was young (the later Disney remake). But is the book itself any good? Let’s have a look.

Book Review: Moon's Choice by Erin Hunter (Survivors Novella #3)

Moon’s Choice, the third and presumably last of these novellas in the Survivors series. This one focuses (obviously) on Moon, a supporting character in the main series. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Sweet's Journey by Erin Hunter (Survivors Novella #2)

Now that we’ve tackled the first Survivors short story, let’s move on to Sweet’s Journey, shall we? Spoilers ahead.

Now that I’ve tackled the original arc of Survivors, it’s time to look at some backstories! This is the first in the three so far released short story novellas relating to this series! In this one we discover Alpha’s past. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies

Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies is an epic fantasy deer tale that draws some obvious inspiration from Watership Down. But is it any good? Well, let’s see, shall we? Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Treasure Island, probably the most classic pirate story ever told, with its countless adaptations, my favorite of which is Disney’s Treasure Planet, the movie that prompted me to get the book and read it. So let’s dive in, shall we?

Book Review: Survivors: The Original Arc by Erin Hunter (Survivors Arc 1)

I’ve only read arc 1 of Survivors once a long time ago, and had very mixed thoughts on it. But, with me giving Warriors another shot and surprisingly enjoying some of the later arcs despite the negative things I’d heard about it, I thought that it was time to give this book series, which is basically the dog equivalent of Warriors, a shot. It’s written under the same pen name, though not by the same authors if I recall correctly. Also, yes, there will be quite a few Warriors comparisons in here because the marketing of this is basically “Warriors but with dogs”.

So let’s dive into the world of the wild dog packs in Survivors: the first arc. Spoilers ahead.
