The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

Great storyline if you enjoy a fantasy. (1 more)
Well written
I couldn't put this one down!
I picked this book up on a whim in an esoteric book shop, and read it cover to cover in one evening! I loved the story - a little far fetched fantasy, but to all intents and purposes, doesn't everyone like to disappear into a book and lose themselves?! It appealed to my inner child and fairy tale lover!

Out of this entire series thus far this is my favorite book. The author has entwined vampiric and Valkyrie mythology to bring us the explosive tale of two amazing warriors who are destined for one another. This read is a powerhouse of action and romance and I had an extremely difficult time putting this one down. I love the direction the author took with this story and I give it five stars!!!

Fallout fan boy
I love this franchise so I'm a little bit bias. The main story might be lacking, but there's so much to do, you'll end up losing days in the game world. The base building aspect I found really fun and enjoyed modding all my best weapons. Us the DLC was really enjoyable I loved the world they created with Far Harbor.

A Classic Read for Any Woman or Young Girl
A classic book every girl should read. The first book in series of three including Little Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys. By far, this first book is the best. You become invested in the characters' hardships and struggles with poverty, family life, romances, sibling rivalries, and many other everyday things to whom anyone can relate.

The Best Of The Series
This is the final book of the halo series by Eric, and it is by far the best.
This book reminds you why you have to love everything halo, it introduces the spartan III's and gives a new face to how the spartans are.
With its amazing ending that leaves every halo nerd in tears as they feel the sacrifce a spartan makes to do the right thing

Fun film for Slasher fans
A decent offering as far as recent Slasher films go. The cast is cool and clearly had fun. A nice idea of being put in to an 80's Slasher film and having to survive. Leans a bit more towards the comedy zone though for hard-core fans. Also check out @Midnight Movie (2008) which was good.
  
Jaws (1975)
Jaws (1975)
1975 | Thriller
JAWS is a very good movie. It’s very well done and it still scared the bejeezus out of me as I watched it again. It’s definitely an “edge of your seat” type of movie. It’s a movie that put a far of sharks in me and I imagine for a lot of people.
Critic- Scott Hanis
Original Score: 7 out of 10

Masterpiece of dispair
This film starts at a low and struggles throughout to dig its way out. Its not without hope but we only seen the potential in a distant glimmer before its snatched away. Mickey Rourke is amazing and Tomei achieves in the supporting role. Fair play to the Screenwriter (Siegel) and the director who have produced this excellent and thoughtful film. Simple and not far off perfect.

Album Rating
Probably my least favorite of Madonna's contemporary albums. The R&B/hiphop feel of the album just doesn't work for me, and too often the songs sound like they are someone else's track featuring Madonna, instead of the other way around. Best track on the album by far is Miles Away, followed by Give It 2 Me. I really feel like these are the only 2 tracks that sound like Madonna songs.
