Currently playing on the PS4 is it as good as the original game which I finally beat last month so I had to play the sequel I like it so even after all the leaks on the internet and people saying they won't be playing cause of certain parts of the game. Anyway none of this has put me off from playing the game. The game follows five years after the events of the first game as we find Joel and Ellie living in Jackson with Tommy Joel's brother in his community making new friends including dina But unfortunately for Joel his actions at the end of the first gane come back to haunt him in a big way which I won't spoil here. This game is about revenge and what Ellie will do to get it and what cost. So far I've played at least five hours of the game and what I've seen so far is wow and that's just Seattle naughty dog have created an amazing version of the for the game u could get lost just roaming thru the looking for stuff. My favourite part of the game so far me is Ellies version of take on me by aha beautifully played by Ashely Johnson I started dining along too. Anyway too sum up how much I've played the game so far the original is still the best but the sequel is close to being better.

"I just saw Nik Turner on Sunday night. He’s doing good. We have a strange history with him and Hawkwind. In 1971, in COUM Transmissions, we somehow managed to con this benefit concert for a commune that had been busted for drugs that Hawkwind were headlining, and got the second slot on the bill. None of us had ever played anything, except me on drums, and it was the era when everyone was trying to have the biggest drum kit, so we borrowed drum kits from some of the other bands involved. We got a dwarf on guitar who’d never even seen a guitar before. We had someone from Bridlington on a surfboard on a bucket of water as the vocalist, who just told jokes because he was actually a comedian. Cosey was dressed as an English schoolgirl with a starting pistol, firing in the air, and her own whips. Nik Turner and Lemmy and everyone remember Cosey! Then in ‘92 or ‘93, Hawkwind came to tour the West Coast, and Nik called me up and asked if I wanted to play keyboards for Hawkwind. I said “of course!”. We got to San Francisco and Jello Biafra was there and he came running into my dressing room and said, “Gen! I love Hawkwind!” I thought he was kidding, but he was serious and said it was his dream to sing ‘Silver Machine’ with Hawkwind. So we got him to join in on backing vocals on ‘Silver Machine’. He was thrilled."

For the most part, I enjoyed this book, it was a nice (and yes, I mean that here!) and easy read.
Indepedent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

For the most part, I enjoyed this book, it was a nice (and yes, I mean that here!) and easy read.

Both Dexter and Jamie have a say, in the third person, and both voices are clear and distinctive. I just kinda felt a bit . . . disconnected i think . . from them both. They both have had difficult childhoods, losing one/both parents at young ages (although Jamie's parents loss was very different to Dexter's) but none of it really comes across. I only really felt Jamie's guilt at sleeping with Dexter when he was in the shower scrubbing himself raw.

I did NOT like what Dexter does, both before and after he sleeps with Jamie. I understand the why, I just didn't like it.

Very much an insta-love, but for me, it's too soon, and doesn't quite work.

What threw me the most, though, wasn't anything about Jamie and Dexter, it was the epilogue! I mean, what was the point in that? If that had been worked into the story, maybe it would have worked better, but just chucking it on the end was a bit mad, I thought.

I think this will be one of those books that every else loves, but one I can't see the reason why. Sorry!
