Book Favorite

"Susan Minot perfectly captures the details of a love affair—the intimacy, disappointment, and eventual estrangement that lead to a breakup—from two points of view in Rapture. I love films about romantic relationships, but I feel like there are so few of them for adults these days. Someone should make this into a movie."

I was really surprised by this book. It's a collection of poetry, prose and inspirational artwork. I was really drawn in to the first collection, written as if by Aphrodite herself. The following collections were more personal and hit so many chords for me - they are about being a woman, about worries, about abuse, about relationships with other people, about relationships with yourself and about sexuality. A lot in there was so truthful and raw. Things that need to be said. I actually feel lighter for reading them, as if they have enabled me to let go parts of myself that weighed me down. I would usually turn away from books like this, but I'm glad that I managed to get a copy and read it.

The storyline
Just keeps getting better....
Hooked from episode 1. Storylines, relationships, cliff hangers its got it all. Dont get me wrong, some of the episodes go abit off course and boring but they still make you want to come back for more. A must for sci fi geeks out there.

Captures Seemingly Indescribable Emotion
Milan Kundara does a brilliant job capturing the complexity of relationships and the connections we have with other people. Among tacit emotions, he is able to use words to convey characters' complicated feelings in such a way that they evoke real emotion in the reader.
