It is always interesting to see the world through the innocence of a child. It is especially interesting when the subject matter we as adults don't always feel comfortable discussing.
Jessilyn and Gemma are best friends. The only problem with that is that Jessilyn is white and Gemma is black. Today not too many people would see a problem with that, but in the 1930's tha was a big problem. After Gemma parents are killed in a tragic accident, Jessilyn's parents decide to take in Gemma as their own. The are faced with lots of ridicule and hatred for their choice. The story is told through Jessilyn's eyes, and it will open everyone's eyes to why we should all see each other as people not as a race.

The Sims 4 offers the usual family simulation experience. However the game is much different to it's predecessor. Sims 3, Sims 4 is not an open world and to move to different sections of the neighborhood you have to endure a loading screen which can feel tedious after a while and really takes away from the whole experience..

The jobs also feel harder to progress in and for me the could be a decent thing to have as it stops the game from becomeing boring to easily..

All in all its not the worst game ever but in the sims franchise it's probably a bottom 3.. norrowly beating bust'em up and urban hights..

the second book in Anthony Ryans 'Raven's Shadow' series (after [b:Blood Song Raven's Shadow 1|13569581|Blood Song (Raven's Shadow, #1)|Anthony Ryan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1363126955s/13569581.jpg|19148922], this is a departure fromt he first in that it takes chapter about to follow different but interconnected characters.

Lord Vaelin Al Sorna is still the principal protaganist of the tale, which - like the previous - is broken down into different subsections, each prefaced by an account from one character in particular (who only really appears to do so).

Again, like the previous, there's probably enough material in here for a couple of books but, unlike that other novel, this focuses more on world-building than on action/adventure. Also leaves a couple of plot-threads hanging wide open for the inevitable sequel!

The Wild Bunch (1969)
The Wild Bunch (1969)
1969 | Action, Drama, Western
Brutal, downbeat western, notorious for its violence. In the 1910s a gang of outlaws takes refuge from bounty hunters in Mexico and enter into a shaky alliance with a corrupt general. Basically another film about the death of the old west, but less romanticised than (say) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; these are hard men in a harsh world.

Quite apart from the volcanic spasm of violence that makes up the climax, the film is notable for its careful ambiguity - the gang eventually earn your respect and sympathy despite their flaws, while the question of who, if anyone, is the good guy in this story is left wide open. A tough film about tough men, but great performances and intelligent film-making make it well worth watching.
