The twins. Freaky! (0 more)

Better than I expected

Ok so my fiance is sick, and in bed. So I decided to scroll through Netflix and see what's up. Found this movie, and after all these years, decided to finally give it a shot. So far it's pretty good. Tony kind of freaks me out, but the storyline is pretty decent and it's definitely Stanley Kubrick direction. This is definitely 70s work as well. Which I think actually helps the storyline. I have waited so long to see this movie because I just plain don't like Jack Nicholson. I may lose a few points for That, but I do have to say that he does a good job playing a freak show. And the actor that plays the son? Very good actor. Now if they could make a movie out of Dr Death, my life may be complete.

The story continues...

People are beginning to get used to life after The Doom. Most have adapted and built communities. Others, like New Hope, have gone beyond that , and are helping to rescue other Uncannys and slaves who have been captured by the Purity Warriors or Raiders, before they are put to death.
Fallon Swift has now reached the age where Mallick has come to collect her and begin her training. The training to help her become The One. This book is largely about that training, interspersed with news from New Hope. It's all really interesting , seeing how their society has developed. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait to see how this all pans out: Light Uncannys (Fallon is one of these) against Dark Uncannys, Purity Warriors and Raiders. They certainly have their work cut out for them.
There's loads of myth and legend in this - great stuff!!

Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated Helmand to the Himalayas: One Soldier's Inspirational Journey in Books

Nov 6, 2019

Since the beginning of this year, 2015, I have been researching British and American forces in order to write a realistic theatre production, that will be based in Afghanistan 2009.
2009 became known as the, "bloodiest year in Afghanistan," after seeing the death of 100 British Soldiers. During the past seven months, I have read a fair amount of life-stories based in Afghanistan/Iraq. A good narration allows for a good visual effect that takes place in ones mind. David Wiseman allowed me to do that. His descriptive voice allowed me to place myself in his situation. It was scary. It was very scary. Throughout his book I have; thought, visualised, learned, laughed, cried and, ultimately, became inspired by his strength and determination. You have my utmost respect!

I have rated this book 5/5. You don't need to wonder why. Just read it!
