When I was first obligated to read this novel, I absolutely hated it. I couldn't understand why it was one of my mother's favorite books. I have nightmares about being questioned numerous times about the symbolism of red in the beginning still. When I had to re-read it for a British novel seminar while studying abroad in a gothic manor, I totally dug it. Jane Eyre is strong, and independent.

A True Brit Gem...
From the jarring intense sound of a car smash followed by opening title I was in... A bonafide True British Gem with all the hallmarks of a true Seat of your chair Psychological Thriller begging the question "what wouldn't you do?". Tense powerful performance from leading man Matt Hookings surrounded by a top notch supporting cast, In this beautifully crafted, gorgeously shot and expertly executed independent must see movie... It's a strong Recommend from me!!!

Sensual and full of passion, Skye Warren makes it easy to fall head over heels in love with her characters. Blake is no exception; he's sweet and thoughtful, but just mysterious enough to be sexy. Erin is a smart, independent, unusually mature woman who refuses to be a damsel in distress. Their relationship is a turbulent one, yet you can't help but root for them both. I'm excited to read the next book and see how they grow together.

Quick wit
Intelligent
Timely
Superb acting
Brilliant no matter your politics
What a great series this turned out to be. While the Democratic party is in office in this series, both of the main parties are consistently represented and often the independent viewpoint is tossed in too in this dramatic series.

I love the quick dialogue and sophisticated wit. Martin Sheen does a fabulous job portraying the President. The series has drama, scandal, romance, and comedy. Smart entertainment is so refreshing!

Book Favorite

"Before there was “Wuthering Heights,” there was “Jane Eyre.” I will never forget reading the first chapter and the shock of recognition — the narrator is a young girl living with a family she is tangentially related to, and she longs for freedom. In time, she becomes independent (after a series of hardships which she endures stoically) all the while earning her living and finding love in the end. I love her for her plain, sturdy, sensible character. I identify with her."

A beautiful masterpiece
Jane Eyre is a masterpiece because of its Gothic fairytale feel in the atmosphere of Thornfield and its strong, complex characters including the quiet, independent Jane and Rochester who was dark and moody yet longing for companionship. Even though I give it A+ it tends to be wordy and drag at the end espically the scenes with St. John Rivers. Despite all that Jane Eyre is a beautiful complex story worth reading.

Crazy Bacon
This game is absolutely crazy. Everything from the design, the soundtrack to the gameplay is absolutely spot on, comical and fun.

All you do is time when you drop your bacon into a pan and throw it on to everything from a maths equation to Napoleon. Despite its simplicity, it doesn't get boring quickly. Its pretty addictive and will keep you smiling and keep testing you. What is more its an independent developer so go support.
