"I recently met with his daughter, Mary Aarons. She was telling me how hard her father worked, traveling the world and taking all these incredible photos. It was his job. A perfectly normal dad from Connecticut jet-setting internationally. I'd like to congratulate Getty Images for saving all these photos that were stashed in his attic! It's a miracle they weren't all ruined. Now that everyone with a phone is considered a photographer, it's fun to a imagine a time when you had to wait to see what the world was up to."

Dangerous Ground I like Josh Lanyons books, this was no exception but I didn't like it as much as some of his other works.This was an interesting read, what with them both being openly gay but not wanting to be together in case it ruined their friendship and partnership of three years, with a kind of mystery plotline. The way the mystery was written in was very good in my opinion and I was intrigued as to what would happen after.However I think the ending was a little too abrupt for my liking.

This story had me gripped from the first sentence. Shalini Boland did it again with this story!

I lasted four episodes of this soapy, teenage melodrama that merely utilize the name of Archie Comics characters. I've been reading Archie Comics since I was a kid (and still do), and this is seriously just teenage porn. As soon as 'Ms Grundy' was sleeping with Archie, I was out. I'm particularly insulted that they essentially ruined Betty, my favorite character. From what I gathered, they've hooked her up with Jughead? JUGHEAD?
I get it, I'm not the intended audience, but I feel like there needs to be a disclaimer that they just used character names and places. So much wasted potential.

"A really good punk song. They had a really great ear for punk. They actually fused punk with metal, but it wasn't 70s Punk, it was kinda new wave punk. That's what I get from it, anyway: The Exploited, and Anti-Pasti. They probably weren't listening to it, but that's what I get. And there's obviously a bit of glam in there from the New York Dolls. "The songs are slightly ruined by the fucking production. It's a bit too much, and sometimes Axl's voice borders on the insane - it's like, 'what the fuck is that?' - but that's rock, isn't it?"
