Beautifully written
The boy I love, for me, was an emotional, yet amazing book. I fell in love with it many years ago, when I found myself so engrossed it was near impossible to put down.

While books based around war aren't normally my thing, Marion Husband captures personal struggles, dealing with coming home from combat and a forbidden sexuality in a very classy and believable way.

The story is rich, the characters are three dimensional and you get to see them develop right up until the very end. I highly recommend this.

Forbidden Island does a great job of introducing players to cooperative play. If you have played Pandemic before, you probably don't need to purchase this game. If you have not, I would highly recommend purchasing to give you and your friends a great introduction to the basic mechanics. It would also be a great way to ease kids into more complicated game mechanics.

Also, it comes in a metal tin, which I wish more companies would do. While more of my cardboard boxes aren't holding up well, this one still looks great.
