Banned Coming of Age Story
I love being a rebel and reading books that have been banned before. This book showed a lesbian relationship in a positive light which is what earned it the ban.
Nancy Garden did a magnificent job of capturing the angst of first love. This in itself can be hard but add to the mix it being love that is scorned by society and you have a new level of coming of age story. This book was originally published in 1992 which can be picked up from some of the descriptions, none the less, the basis of the story is still relevant today. This story will make you cheer, cry, and want to hit someone with anger. It is a fantastic book.

I really enjoyed this book. Realistic, with a very likeable protagonist. It touched on deep subjects without being over-the-top and melancholy, yet it could be amusing and you really got a sense for the characters and how they would act/react/relate/talk. Other than that I can't really describe why I liked this book so much, except that it was enjoyable and I would definitely love to read more with Caitlin!
I did notice a lot of quotation marks where there shouldn't be and none where there should be. Sometimes I was a little confused about what the author was trying to say because of misspellings or left out words or letters, especially during the "blog speak" where it had internet spelling.

love it
i like to watch this while im at the gym because it just so good that while it is on i can forget about how tried i am. the show manages to strike a balance between being comedic and serious.
the show does not fall to the common challenge of most comedies to not have stupid comedy in there. you know the one right? the kind that makes you cringe.
well I'm very glad to say you'll find none of that here.
you should definitely watch this I've yet to find someone who doesn't like it so give it a go even if your not a typical police show fan or a fan of comedy's because this show really is much more than that.

Mum seeks revenge for murder of her family
Pretty much knew what I was going to get watching this but decided to give it a go none the less.
Jennifer Garner witnesses her husband and daughter slaughtered and decides to go after those responsible and their boss when the court decides they should have no case to answer.
The usual revenge movie cliches are all present and correct in this film (corrupt judge..corrupt cop etc) and you pretty much know what to expect once she starts her down her path of own justice.
An ok movie with a good performance by garner.Worth a watch if your in the mood for some good old fashioned action and revenge.

Cult fantasy movie which kind of flopped on its initial release but spawned a franchise which seemed to go on forever (and may not in fact be completely defunct). Scottish highlander (played by a Frenchman) discovers he is immortal; is mentored by ancient Egyptian immortal (played by a Scotsman); must do battle with rival Russian immortal (played by an American) to decide the destiny of the world.
Pretty much as goofy as it sounds, but very likeable - strives for a sort of mythic grandeur, doesn't quite manage it. None of the battles in the story are quite as brutal as the one between Christopher Lambert and the English language, but Sean Connery is having fun; some decent fight choreography too. Benefits immensely from the Queen soundtrack.
