Book Rating

This was quite a light, fluffy read, but it did have it's problems - not just the occasionally Typos! For a 29 year old New Yorker, Emily could be really naive - I could understand she might not know what Black pudding was made from, but not knowing what a full English Breakfast was or the words 'snogging' and 'bloke'? Now really!

There also seemed to be some confussion over the places the tour was visiting - it sounded like Jane Austen's House in Chawton, but then there were other references to Chawton Manor house - which is something different.

Also not sure about driving from Bath to Chesshire for a day visit in the depths of Winter.

OK, but nothing much to write home about overall.

I want to visit the house

This was Radcliffe's first movie after the Harry Potter movies and he certainly takes a different turn with this character and this movie. Set at the turn of the century, The Woman in Black follows the tale of a solicitor (Radcliffe) going to a home to set the financial and legal matters of a deceased woman to rights. He encounters all manner of mystery and intrigue including a bizarre town and a host of mystery and otherworldly apparitions.

Black Unity by Pharoah Sanders

Album Favorite

"Black Unity is one song played live that lasts about 35 minutes and it's free jazz but it has a very deep groove. There's a drummer and a couple of percussionists and the bass player is locked into them. It's almost the jazz version of the Stooges song 'Fun House' if that makes any sense. It's not free in the sense that the drummer's going off, or everyone is going off at once. There's a deep groove but there's also looseness to it too."
