Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

When it was finally released, Heaven's Gate failed so completely with reviewers and at the box office that it put legendary studio United Artists out of business and marked the end of Hollywood's auteur era. Or so the conventional wisdom goes. Charles Elton delves deeply into the making and aftermath of the movie and presents a surprisingly different view to that of Steven Bach, one of the executives responsible for Heaven's Gate, who wrote a scathing book about the film and solidified the widely held view that Cimino wounded the movie industry beyond repair.

However, they are stung and let down at every turn, being robbed, tortured, and ridiculed, amongst other trials. On hearing about their often disasterous travels, a listener feels unfortunately less than empathetic, and can't help themselves laughing out loud at this very funny account of the trail our optimistic travellers take.

Story
The landscape that the Brat Pack memorialized is rich with cultural themes and significance, and has influenced an entire generation who still believe that life always turns out like an '80s movie. You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried takes us back to that era, through Susannah Gora's interviews with key players such as Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and John Cusack, and mines all the material from the movies to the music to the way the films were made to show how they helped shape our visions for romance, friendship, society, and success.

She wandered the countryside with Milly-Molly-Mandy and played by the tracks with the Railway Children.

In the years between World War II and the emergence of television as a mass medium, American popular culture as we know it was first created in the bold, pulpy pages of comic books. The Ten-Cent Plague explores this cultural emergence and its fierce backlash while challenging common notions of the divide between "high" and "low" art.

Story
This close look at Wonder Woman's history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world.

Fun, short listen
I liked this book. I treated myself when I got a $10 credit and bought low priced items not worth blowing a credit on. There is background music throughout, which might be a negative for some and a few times caused me to lose a word. It’s kind of like reading trivial pursuit cards for Harry Potter. At my level of fandom, (multiple times listener of the audio books), I learned things about the author, actors and films.

A Fun Little Book
If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is a no-brainer. It's exactly what it says, just a bunch of fun little facts. As pretty much a Harry Potter fanatic, I was pleased that almost all of these were new to me, so it was fun. Might as well get it, it's cheap.

Short, but fun facts!
Interesting, fun facts. Read with some background music this is a short info on the characters and actors of the books and films. Telling fun anecdotes and goodtoknows about the HP world and sometimes comparing books and films. Much of the info is probably to be googled on the web, but I appreciated somebody getting it together and reading it for me.
