This is the first in the series of vitality and what a first it is!
It seems like a true love story with lots of twists. I do not want to say too much as I don't want to give anything away, I was hooked when I first started reading and really didn't want to put it down. I honestly can't wait till the second instalment even though my head feels mushed right now!
There are some rather dark moments and an absolute whirlwind of emotion.
I recommend reading it. I thought it was brilliant.
** same worded review will appear elsewhere **
This book was phenomenal. The research that Michelle & her editors put into this was simply impressive. I was constantly in awe while reading this book. This is probably one of the top true crime novel that I have read. Michelle has a way to pull you into the story and leave you wanting to continue on her hunt (which thankfully we don't have to do now that he is caught).
All in all, this is a great true crime which I will recommend to everyone!

A story based around religion is not always going to be for everyone but if anything the cast is a shining light in an otherwise scrappy film.
Gary Oldman plays the true archetypal villain, looking like a cowboy but sounding like a biblical reverend, he truly knows how to play the bad guy. Washington gives an equally decent performance but is some way off his best.
The cinematography is stunning and the desolate landscape depicts a true reflection of the aftermath of nuclear war. It’s grainy and gritty but needed to pack more of a punch. The brief action and fight scenes are well choreographed and the twist in tale at the end should be enough raise a few questions in the car park.
