Is a common belief that many film sequels are worse than the original. Popular movies are so often destroyed by a follow us. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Lost Skull? Grease 2? What was the point in ruining these franchises? Unlike many people, I'm not looking forwards to Finding Nemo 2. That film was such a big part of my childhood and now the money grabbing villains at Disney and Pixar are wanting to bring it all back and brutally murder my childhood memories. Honestly, Dory was my favourite character in the whole film, but I don't want to watch “Finding Dory”. The fish is forgetful. By the time you find her, she wont know who you are so why bother going through all the effort to find her just to end up heart broken? Perhaps I am just being cynical about the outcome, but I'm sure someone out there agrees with me.
However, at the moment I'm not actually focusing on terrible film sequels. Last year, I wrote a review for a book called Throne of Glass. If anyone read that (it's on the website, if not), they will know how much I loves that. I saw a real talent in Sarah J. Mass. For the first time, I pre-ordered a book and waited months for it to arrive at my door. When it eventually arrive, I was buzzing with excitement. I opened it straight away, took myself off to my bedroom and got settled for several hours of reading in which I thought I would pretty much finish the book. This was several months ago, and I still haven't gotten past chapter one, despite attempting it quite a few times. I was thoroughly disappointed in the book, which got me thinking... Is it only films that have bad sequels?
