Rolling Stone's 436th greatest album of all time (2020)
Decent hip hop album, a little away from my preferred hip hop style, but not the worst sort.

"I’m a fan of this Hannah Hoch (by way of Kingston) photo-collage style. A continent of schoolchildren and earth beasts against a sea of police blue."

Interesting African folk album, similar in style to the Soweto album and a clear inspiration for Paul Simon.

Some decent rap here, very similar to Run DMC in style. No real standout tracks but all quite good.

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008080;">My Thoughts:</span></strong>
<strong><span style="color: #008080;"> When I think of Irene Hannon, I think of suspense and thrills. But, I must say that this book, really was amazing. She is absolutely wonderful in her writing styles. Her books are unique and captivating and always have a message within the pages for the readers to reflect on. I loved that!</span></strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Lexie and Adam's characters are very complex yet blended smoothly in the story line. It's a powerful story line. Some of the issues in the story, really hit home with me as I have two teen sons who have faced some of the same issues. It's very heart wrenching, yet Ms. Hannon's words are inspiring. I loved being able to feel a part of the story and understanding some of the characters feelings.</span></strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008080;">I loved the characters that Ms. Hannon added to the story. They all wrapped around Lexie and Adam and complimented them well! There were a few occasions I found my self chuckling out loud when the secondary characters showed up in the story. It rounded out the feels of the book.</span></strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008080;">I would definitely recommend this book to all with 4 star praises! It's filled with heart stealing characters, a plot that will leave you thinking long after you've shut it's pages, and inspiring words that you just might need to read. I loved every minute of this book and it's definitely a keeper on my shelf! While this is the 3rd book in the Hope Harbor series, it's definitely easy to read as a stand alone. Although there are characters I'm hoping we will see more of in future books (hint, hint, Ms. Hannon!) and some that I'm looking forward to reading about in previous books. Great job, Ms. Hannon!</span></strong><a href="http://cafinatedreads.com/revell-reads-blog-tour-review-sandpiper-cove-by-irene-hannon/"; target="_blank">This review was originally posted on Cafinated Reads</a>

Original stylish action film
Similar in style to the Matrix, this future set action film has some cool SFX. The martial arts with machine guns is particularly impressive.
