Dean (6927 KP) rated Lonely Hearts (2006) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
A decent crime drama based on a true story of a murdering couple in the 1940's and 50's. It has an exceptional cast, but wanders between crime drama and the sub stories a bit too much. A slow paced film without a lot of action. Ok but could have been a lot better.

A good old fashioned school story
The first book in the Malory Towers series. One of my favorite books as a child and still loved today. It's very much set in the 1940's but it mostly adds to the charm.

I absolutely love this book! I personally purchased mine at Nancy Williams costume company shop a few years back and had the privilege to have Nancy herself sign the book. ( Nancy was one of the showgirls back in the 1940's) Such great photos and the history of the Vegas showgirls!

Botticelli's Bastard + Giveway This my first in this kind of book dealing with art and history. It a good book and interesting. It deals with Germany and take over of Europe in the 1940's. I liked the idea of the painting talking and telling detail about his owners. That what is been so neat about it. I love the fact that Giovanni started with a discovery of stolen art.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Johnny Graphic and the Etheric Bomb in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Johnny Graphic and the Etheric Bomb] by [D.R. Martin] was an incredible adventure. In the classic sense of serial adventures from the 1940's the young cub photographer, who happens to see ghosts and is 12 yrs old, has to save the world from a horrible new bomb. Along with his sister, Melanie and other friends, they travel the world to solve the mystery and stop destruction.
As a teacher who just spent the past three weeks teaching about the making of the atomic bomb this book seemed to parallel that with a 'ghostly' twist. (I know bad pun.) I will be looking forward to reading book two. Also did I mention besides ghosts there are zombies. Highly recommended.

This book talks about thing on the WWII. Though it mostly though the eyes of two children that are British. You hear their account about how WWII started. You getting from two children that were sent to America to escape the war that Germany and Great Britain.
You read about what the Nazi are doing and POW's and war effort and the allies.

》A lovely story set in the 1940's. It is a unique story in that it focuses on the thoughts, actions and emotions of the people left state side. I thought it was an encouraging and thought provoking book, and it really didnt gloss over different aspects of being newly in love which I appreciated as it made the book more realistic than some :) . I truly enjoied reading this book even though at first I wasn't sure that i'd like it. I do recommend reading it, as it has a ver believable perspective. I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feed back, the opinions expressed within are my own.
