Rare Tree_skier Posted December 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2023 While it may be family friendly it is not really geared for kids. I genuinely doubt any kid will find interesting let alone be able to follow the story, such as it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted December 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) It’s got some Harry Potter type moving visuals on the back wall which are clever; otherwise I found it very dull. It’s quite colourful. Edited December 2, 2023 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on harmony and night 4 I thought it was inappropriate sexual jokes for the 730 pm show. I happened to have breakfast with a younger teen and she said even all the pushing to put your arm around whomever was next to you made her squirm. She was there with her grandma. His jokes were all sexual. It will be in my feedback. His singing was very good. He was part of the Letterman's group he said .. but stop with the sex jokes. I too was not happy. I've heard it all, not shocked just wrong at that time in the theater. Kids dont need that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerick Posted December 2, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Firefly333 - that was the show called “The Book”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted December 2, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2023 We saw The Book on Odyssey last month. There was nothing in it that I saw that I would consider inappropriate for children, but I could see some kids being quite bored. My 9 year old granddaughter would love it, my 8 year old grandson, probably not. Sherri🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly appears to be referencing a headliner on the Harmony, apparently in response to the assertion that RCI doesn't typically have shows that aren't family friendly (or at least identifies them if they aren't). I agree with what others have said: certainly not inappropriate, although whether or not they would enjoy it is another matter. Some kids would, I'm sure, but many would probably be bored.

We have seen The Book and do not recall any inappropriate or sexual jokes. We enjoyed the show but we're old; some kids may enjoy it and some may not.

bethco Posted December 2, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Nothing in it is inappropriate for children, but neither will it likely hold much interest to them. Approach it as an interestingly staged production in an unusual venue. Don't go looking for a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted December 2, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The Book is beautiful in a visual kind of way. There is no continuous story line. I think there’s enough going on that school age could sit through it. It’s about 45 minutes long. There is nothing inappropriate for kids in it but it’s more appreciated by adults. Think of it as a book with different stories in it. We really enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Collector Posted December 2, 2023 #17 Share Posted December 2, 2023 We enjoyed The Book. There is no storyline to follow, each segment is a chapter from different books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted December 2, 2023 #18 Share Posted December 2, 2023 While it’s ok for kids of all ages to watch, on Odyssey last month a woman brought in 3 very small children, one about a year old and the other two no older than 5, and they were a bit loud to those nearby because they were children being normal. It’s not a show geared towards children, although certainly kid friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tlbecker1 Posted December 2, 2023 #20 Share Posted December 2, 2023 We really enjoyed the “Book”, but I know others did not. We have seen it 4 times. It is appropriate for kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted December 3, 2023 #21 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I enjoyed The Book as far as how they were able to show off the technology involved. As for the story? What story? I couldn't even hazard a guess as to what the story is supposed to be about. 🤷♂️ More interesting than fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRWPA Posted December 3, 2023 #22 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I've seen it 7 times and will see it again in January. It is visually very appealing - and I love the violin and drumming. Whether kids will like it - depends on their ages and interests. The story is just chapters from several different books. I find the first 10 minutes to be boring but then everything picks up and I find it fun to watch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the advice I give to people who haven't seen it: don't go into it looking for a plot, and don't give up and leave in the first few minutes! 😉 I respect that it isn't everybody's cup o' tea, but DH and I quite like it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare S.A.M.J.R. Posted December 3, 2023 #25 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I thought shows with no story line were bad and should be taken off Royal ships. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
