Book Rating
This book was given to me as a christmas present by my brother. When I first started reading it, it took me two attempts of the first chapter to find my flow with the style of writing. As i havent read a book with this writing style before, it's more like a play, or a collection of thoughts by various speakers.
That being said I thoroughly enjoyed it. And found it is the type of book you keep going back to for more. The story flows very well and at times Is so descriptive you feel the anguish Mr Lincoln must have been feeling at the time of losing his son.

DNF at 37%

I didn't like the style of writing; it just didn't have an easy flow and was just plain odd. As was the story. After probably the fourth chapter I was thinking, "What the hell is going on?!" but continued to read thinking it might pick up and I'd understand it a little more. But nope, after the eighth chapter I just started scanning bits and the plot turned even weirder so I just decided to DNF because I had no idea what the hell was going on and the writing style didn't gel with me at all.

One hell of a strange story.

Great entry level evolution game for all the family
This was our first try at playing an evolution game and we have found it very exciting to open the envelopes revealing new rules and stickers. We have also found it good to linger at certain levels to get the hang of new rules and develop strategies rather than rushing through. The Tetris style building is addictive and it's often surprising how well or badly your score ends up in comparison to how you think you have done. Enjoyed by both parents and teenage kids in our family.

"Russ Meyer’s magnum opus is a singular, nonstop whirlwind of a movie—and proof positive that the style of a work can also be its substance. Meyer was one of cinema’s most meticulous craftsmen and also one of the most innovative editors of the twentieth century. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a beautiful, visceral movie, and it’s so far ahead of its time that we’re still catching up with it. Nothing here is accidental. This is capital-A Art. Anyone who thinks this movie is “so bad it’s good” has no sense of taste or style and is probably bad in bed."

Interesting take on the super hero genre
Really interesting show, that leaves you wanting to know more after each episode. The story is confusing but slowly unwinds. The actors are also excellent through out. For more details have a review on my blog.
