"HULK ... SMASH!"

A collection of the original sIncredible Hulk tories (or those in which he appeared), I was actually surprised on reading these just how 'smart' (relatively speaking) the Hulk actually was - not at all like the "Rrrr...Arrrgh" engine of destruction I was expecting, but able to hold full conversations with those he was interacting with.

I was also surprised that - initially, at least - the transformation process did not happen when Bruce Banner got angry, but rather at night times, or when he voluntarily underwent it by stepping in front of his hidden Gamma Ray machine (after initially being caught in a Gamma Ray explosion that started the whole process going): very much a modern Jekyll and Hyde scenario, as it were!

STABBED IN THE HEART
AND YOU'RE TO BLAME
YOU GIVE CHRISTMAS A BAD NAME

Thank you, i just had to get that out of my system!

This is a really fun, easy read with likable characters.

The villain pretty much jumped out at me but i didn't feel condescended to so that's always lovely!

I really like Jules' friendship with Christmas-Hating Lance.
She's so determined to have him enjoy the holiday that she invites him to a fancy dinner where an awful woman is stabbed.

Things move at a pretty brisk pace from there and the ending is a Christmas treat!

A powerful story
I'm a little divided about this film. On the one hand it's a very powerful and moving story with some rather brutal and shocking scenes, and a very relevant and important true story to tell. However it's also not executed to the best it could be.

It starts off fairly slowly and aside from some stand out scenes, the film very rarely picks up. The acting is good but for me there was nothing outstanding from anyone (and Nicole Kidman's unmoving face still disturbs me). And the ending whilst heartwarming in a way feels like a bit of an anti climax. This is an interesting and slightly disturbing story that is quite good, I just wish that it had been better executed.

Track

"This album was mixed by Kevin Shirley and I think he did an awesome job because you can hear John Bonham doing more than he did on recordings. I think that’s probably because of the way the songs were written, because after being on the road they’d developed the songs a bit and a lot of the things you listen out for, like the subtleties on the record, they exaggerate them and that goes from the drums right up to the singing. This is just one of those recordings where you can hear them exaggerating the things that people love about these songs and how they grew on the night into some kind of monster and the material went with it."

I totally love this book!

It's sweet, it's romantic, it's heart-breaking.

Rowen Sterling, you are one lucky woman to find a guy like Jesse. He's amazing! He doesn't care about your past or your fashion sense, he cares about you, the person. (Just writing that is making me want to fill up :') he's so sweet). I loved him from early on and he grew on me throughout.

Rowen, you may have been broken when you got to that ranch but look what the love of a good family will do to you...

Looking forward to reading the next in the series, to see what else happens between these two.

P.S. This is a cowboy New Adult book! Two things I love in one! :D
