This wonderful adventure book. Are you looking a book that helps with educational help with you children. Well that draws your boys and girls. It has talks about the history of America during the Revolutionary War.

This is the second book of the series. It got the twin doing a mission for their father. It goes on from there. There seem to be a spy that following them and giving enemy the information. Who could it possibly be.

Ambrose and John seem to be thrown into a mission to make sure gunpowder get where it need to be. In the process they also need to drive the first submarine. They got to make a prison break to save their older brother.

The authors do great job with the story and also having you and all his readers guessing though out the book. Will they save their older brother? You giving the American information to enemy?

The pictures are done well and you can see what the author is talking about. The image are caping to see and look at. The author does a wonderful job with it.

A well-polished based on true events mini-series.
Not being American and also being a pre-teen at the time of the actual event the whole O.J. Simpson thing was a small blip on my consciousness at the time, so I probably knew less than most going into watching this. It focuses mainly around the courtroom drama of the trial of O.J. Simpson with a heavy focus on the lawyers (and there are a lot of them) involved.

For someone unfamiliar with all the facts of the case I could have done with more detail especially the prosecutions whole case, much was made of their been a load of evidence but we didn’t get to see how much of it was presented. Instead, we did get a lot of insight into the personalities around the case with some strong performances, in particular, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark alongside some less convincing showings. I’m not that familiar with Simpson, but Cuba Gooding Jr didn’t really invoke him to me.

All in all interesting and well put together insight into arguably the biggest TV trial in history.

First things first, when I woke up today I did not think I would be in church today, but this film had piked my interest as I like a good trueish story.
Right next thing it did not help the lights came on at the start of the film & I was the only idiot that thought you should tell somebody oh & dick in front of me was eating the loudest food possible which forced me to move.
To the film. Every film based on actual events has to be taken with a pinch of salt. People in America have boycotted this film mainly their American hero is portrayed but an English lady. That should not really matter as this story of a very brave lady needed to be told. It is really well done & the way some of the music incorporated into the film is a clever touch. It manages to highlight how barbaric being a slave was and luckily it has mostly been eradicated these days. An underrated film that is a good education about a part of American's dark history. 8/10
