The Kid Who Would Be King — A Review

24th June, 2019.


It’s got to be said … I think I’ve had a bad day, today.

With news, last night, about my Uncle Brian’s death … 

And news this morning, that my Aunty Bella had died.

Which was the death that really twanged:  it’s only a few months ago we’d seen him.

So it seemed … not to be quite so painful.

That’s me, speaking for myself.

Bella’s death, on the other hand … ?

Hurts.

It’s been a while since we’d seen her: and arranging time to go down to Kent, to do so … ?



Seemed to take forever.

There was always a wrong time.

Until, of course, it’s to late …

That has left me … 

Well, flummoxed … is possibly the wrong word.

Shocked … ?

Glum … ?



Possibly the word needed here, is glum.

Certainly — for now — in need of a lift.

I’d done gloomy, last night.

And seriously fancied something light and fluffy.

Hmmm … 

Joe Cornish’s The Kid Who Would Be King seemed to be something that would fill a hole.
