Fascinating and tragic - a journey into the human brain
Oliver Sacks, the late eminent British neurologist, is wonderfully curious and compassionate while journeying into people's experiences of the human brain. It is both humorous in some aspects but mostly tragic and terrifying to see how fragile human beings truly are. It is explained in the simplest of terms, though there is still a lot of scientific jargon. And some particular cases such as the disembodied woman and the man with nightmares is rather frightening. Fantastic read.

It is ok.
I just don't get the gushing about this film. It's ok, just not much more than that. The stories don't develop much from their side stories. It's all a little flat and although you liked it, it could have reached the heights of Oliver, Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryet Al but won't be looked fondly back on in thirty years to come as those were

Album Favorite

"Who Will Buy?' turns into an awesome round, "ripe strawberries, ripe!" It's good, Oliver! is pretty flawless. It's the same as The Sound Of Music: these are classics for a reason. You know every single fucking song. You've been brought up with it. It's a shame Bill Sikes doesn't have a song, and I wonder if that's because Lionel Bart understanding that when a character sings a song they are given some kind of motivation for their acts. He is the most evil character."

Condemned and Admired (The Earl’s Cunning Wife) is the first book I’ve read by Bree Wolf. It is an historical story involving both England and France. It is quite a long book if you are a slow reader, just as a reference. 4 stars from this reader.

Our heroine starts as Violet Winters, daughter of Viscount Silox on a night when her mother makes the ultimate sacrifice to save both her and her daughter from a life of hell.
Fast forward the story to Violette Duret and the mission she is on to save her family.

Oliver Cornell is the Earl of Cullingwood and he is tired of the rules and regulations he must follow to keep the titles in his family. He is young and just wants to have fun and enjoy himself, much to the chagrin of his father. When he wakes up on a ship headed to see he thinks he has found his ticket to freedom.

When Violette and her family pull their ship over to commandeer the vessel they don’t realize the precious commodity they now have on board. When the Earl reveals his identity she realizes he could help with her plan.

Violette and Oliver set off on an adventure that brings her right back into the family life her mother fought to remove her from. Will she make it out a second time?

A well written historical story with plenty of description of times in 1800’s England. I enjoyed the storyline of Violette and Oliver and look forward to reading her mother’s story in Trapped and Liberated. I received a copy without expectation for review, any and all opinions expressed are my own. I have a couple other books by Ms. Wolf on my TBR, can’t wait to dive in.
