Tennant makes the best doctor
Out of the New generations doctor who David Tennant is by far my favorite doctor. His charisma brings something special and perfect to the doctors persona.

The relationship between Rose and the Doctor is something beautiful and so bittersweet that there love can never be.


Show runners Russel T Davies and head written Steven Moffat make a great team and when they work together the show episode, story boards arcs and monsters are something that make any other show hard to match up to.

4.75 Stars. This book is phenomenal. I read in on sitting and could not stop!

Olly and Maddy's relationship progression was amazingly written and even though there was a small spark of insta-love , the relationship as a whole was well thought out and well-paced.

The part of this that brought it down from a 5 (which as a whole it deserved) is what she found out about the disease in the end. That was a little to cinematic (Bubble Boy) for me.

I wish there was more of it to devour - definitley an Incredible book.

Didn't Match Up
This book is about first love, and having a physical relationship for the first time. Normally I enjoy cute love stories, but this was a little flat. The topic and themes were solidly YA, but the writing style is more middle grade. This made the characters come across as younger than what they were. I think if the book had focused more on the emotional aspects of their relationship it would have been better. Unfortunately it was mostly about their sex life. The one up side is that the book did put a lot of emphasis on safe sex.

I just have recently read it. I try to rate things based off of the intended audience, however I grew up in a house hold that was always very open about sex. That could have made a difference. I just know this isn't a book I would give my 13yo sister if she came to me asking questions.

When I grew up, sex was a forbidden topic other than, Wait until you're married." It's no wonder my older sisters got pregnant before marriage. Most of my instruction came from reading my older sister's magazines and my Mom's medical reference book. Thankfully, I was able to avoid teen pregnancy. I bought condoms and kept them in my purse so I could have them on hand when I went out with my boyfriend and I got on the pill when I was 15 or 16. I'm a huge proponent of safe sex. Knowledge is power.

the second book in the series and follows the tory of one of the characters from the first book. this story starts at the beginning of book one, so you read about the characters from the first book again, which is a little disappointing. but it is a good book, the chemistry surrounding the main characters is intense. in this book you learn more about the backstage and touring that bands go through. the characters have to deal with a long distance relationship, using modern technology to make the relationship work. a good read.

I didn't think things could get any better after the first book but I have to say that this one is even better than the first one, I was very happily surprised I must say. It was more intense, it was more gruesome and the character development was just brilliant. I love the developing relationship between the two main characters, their relationship is very realistic and troublesome which keeps things very interesting. I am very much looking forward to the next one in the series as I think (after reading this one) it's going to get even better! 5 stars from me!

I liked this. I liked the idea behind it; a real FBI agent having to work with a TV FBI agent. It was different and I did enjoy it.

The relationship did appear to just sort of happen. Sure there was sexual tension between them but nothing verbal for a long time and then they were suddenly in bed with each other. It just happened a little too fast for me.

Other than the relationship, I enjoyed the rest of the book, the case, the characters, the sub-plot.
