The Sarah Jane Adventures Season 1

We are strong when we are together! 

BASICs

That is a season a little bit like Dr. Who, what is maybe the reason why I bought it.
Sarah Jane was a former companion to the doctor, I guess to the third but I'm not sure. In the new series she turns up, too, I guess at the second serie.
I got a 5 season set of SJ, so it is possible that I mix it up, so don't get all angry with me, okay? In the end, we are all just humans, aren't we?

Characters

Sarah Jane Smith - older woman who used  to travel with the doctor, has a sonic lipstick that opens doors
Maria - lives on the opposite side of Sarah Janes, sees her with an alien and decides to help her
Luke - Sarah Janes Son, in a way, he was grown by the bane and is the perfect human
Clyde - mate of Luke and Maria, is in their school and fights aliens with them, too
Mr. Smith - Sarah Janes extraterrestrial computer, is a Xylon (crystalin lifeform)

Story

Yeah, after Sarah Jane left the Doctor or he left her because of the Time War, she has to get used to a normal life again. Unable to do that, she decides to start protecting the earth from alien invasion. Doing the same as the doctor, in a way.
Being alone for all her life after the Doctor left her behind, she finds a family in Maria, Luke and Clyde.

Pro and Cons

It is a kidsshow. Honestly, I didn't know when I bought it!
I just saw "Dr. Who" and wasn't able to think anything other but "Buy! Buy! BUY!!!".
So it is a bit childish. A tiny little bit, but anyway, it's great! Fighting aliens, Sonic lipstick (although the doctor has a screwdriver) and a lot of savings the world! Love it.

Funny and Awesome Quotes

"Just you watch."

"Clyde. You said, if I don't know something, I just have to ask you." "Yeah. Clydopedia, remember?" "Tell me about girls."

"Clyde. New, too. Hang around with you till I meet cooler people." "How do you do? I'm Luke Smith." "Okay, that was a joke. Now I mean it."

Pro and Cons

It is a real great show with humor and action, but some times the actors are a little bit weak or nthe special effects a little bit strange but overall it is just awesome! 

Normally English humor is a kind of strange, but the reason, why Dr. Who is so famous and have survive that long is that it isn't strange but funny!

Skulduggery Pleasant

Doors are for people with no imagination. 

BASICs

It's a book. Okay, that was useless. Start again.
It's a book about detectives. But Valkyrie Cain and Skulduggery Pleasant aren't normal detectives. They use magics to hunt creatures like vampires.
And they have to fight against really bad guys!

Pro and Cons

This book is about fighting, magic and evil guys, so I can't do anything but to love it. Really! Derek Landy did a great job with writing Skulduggery Pleasant. He has an amazing humour!
I just can't stop laughing!
But there are also scenes and parts, where you just wanna to cry.
It has something of all, it is scary, but also funny. And it is easy to read.
A bad point is, that it is only short, so you'll finish it very quickly. But I think that's not a problem, because there are already 6 books (English) and a 7th is comíng soon!

Funny and awesome quotes


"So you are real? You actually exist?"
"Presumably."
"You mean you're not sure if you exist or not?"
"I'm fairly certain. I mean, I could be wrong. I could be some ghastly hallucination, a figment of my imagination."

“So you won't keep anything from me again?",Valkyrie asked.
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."

You know, because I'm at the moment in Australia I wasn't able to go to the Leipziger Books fair. That is so terrible, you know, because Derek Landy was there!
When I read that on his own blog, I was so down you can't imagine!
Well, I'll survive it.

So, and who is my mysterious reader who doesn't show himself or herself?
