Book Rating

"Red Queen (the first book of the series) had the perfect balance of a dystopian setting with superhuman characters, without seeming outlandish. Mare, a young woman trying to help her family survive, is captivating. She’s strong willed and has a sharp tongue, showcasing her wit. She’s a fun character to read because she’s someone that acts in the moment, and often times finds herself in trouble for it. Her actions and reactions keeps the reader engaged.

You meet two princes, half-brothers, who are very different from each other. They are both likable in their own ways. Mare finds herself being tugged back and forth between the two, which is obviously causing some down low drama."

Riveting

This fascinating 1991 drama follows the friendship of Peter Burton (John Cusack) and Tim Gerrity (James Spader) from it's inception in law school to its grim finale on election night. Gerrity is that rare bird, a man from a wealthy family who simply wants to leave the world a better place than he found it. Peter comes from much more humble origins and is driven to succeed at any cost. Their unlikely friendship rises and falls around their career choices. We the viewers are left wondering if anyone as driven as Peter could ever be satisfied with the simple wholesome pleasures in life, like truth or friendship. Well paced, still highly relevant, and a well told tale.

Time waster

I have been on Facebook for some years now but recently decided to deactivate. Fb is great for networking, promotion and promoting ypur business. If used correctly it can be a great platform to boost your business.
For friendships i dont recommend, you can spend so much time on there talking to people who you wpuld probably just pass in the street, if you wouldn't then you certainly don't need fb to communicate! We have lost the ability to communicate face to face and fb doesn't help.
I see so many relationships and friendships breakdown because of fb so i advise people to happily use the app but to also have a break from time to time!
