A short little dip back into the London Below, nice to see characters old and new, made me sad about Bernard Cribbins.

It’s been a very, very long time since I completed Throne of Bhaal on the PC, but I remember enough to know that this depiction was vastly different to how my version went. The narrator is great, but the story is only ok.
At least Imoen was a great deal less annoying in this one.

Welcome to the life of a junior doctor: 97-hour weeks, life-and-death decisions, a constant tsunami of bodily fluids and the hospital parking meter earns more than you. Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, Adam Kay's This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the NHS front line.

Everybody should read/listen to/know about everything in this book. Perhaps then we might stop electing simpletons and psychopaths to high office who have absolutely no clue how to possibly manage the NHS. And, if we’re being honest, none of them should be allowed to touch it with a barge pole.

Reviewed: 20-09-24
It follows on directly from where the first finishes, and much along the same lines. Not exactly as I remember the game going, but then I had forgotten a lot!
Imoen’s character came across as much more of a spoilt, entitled PITA than I remember. Not a pleasant character.
Decent enough, probably not quite as good as the first.

It’s a good story and brought back a lot of memories from playing the game all those years ago, just a different way of playing through I guess, from what I recall. I enjoyed it though!

Was he actually supposed to be this dense?
Reviewed: 19-07-24
Detailing more of Lorgar’s fall to Chaos, the journey and soul-searching etc, with each passing revelation and understanding of why what happened happened Lorgar comes across as increasingly stupid and credulous with every line written.
It’s a great book, but I can’t help but wonder if he’s supposed to be written down as this stupid, or that’s just how he comes across.
