A nice and sweet time-travel romance. Melissa was a well-developed heroine for Rory, who while not as developed and portrayed as practically perfect, was a wonderful hero for her. The story was smoothly written, although I could have done without some of the flowery prose, and had well-defined plotlines. I thought the epilogue was a little bit of a letdown because I would have liked to hear about the children at Freedom House. An easy and otherwise nice read, but it didn't connect with me as much as other books. Still, it really was well-written and the romance between Melissa and Rory was lovely.

Aniston’s immediately recognisable accent works very well in animation and voice-over performances, but she hasn’t had as much success in this genre as perhaps you would’ve thought. Outside of the Storks and 1999’s The Iron Giant, she hasn’t ventured into animation at all.

Storks is a fun little movie that works well with its brilliant voice cast. Aniston plays an overprotective mother and while her role is slight, she plays it excellently. What works so well here is that we can almost here elements of her character in Friends as she converses with her children.

Well well well I'm mightily impressed Mrs Stephens. Mightily impressed. Easily up there on top as one of the best debuts I've read this year. Easily.

Great characters and plot work. A even balance between omg how cute (<i>that</i> chapter and holy shit how EVIL!

Evil being the overruling theme of this book with a great set of bad guys and an even greater set of good guys - let the Dancer's Light be upon you s'all I'm sayin'

Godblind had it's own flair for the dramatic and the quick switching between points of view gave the book it's own edge.

Can I have book 2 now?

I Love a Book is done well. I love the pictures and it keeps me fantastic. Young Children would love looking at the pictures for hours. It would keep them to turning the page. The story is sweet as well. I believe it rhymes and make it more of a poem for parts of it.

The author does a wonderfully with it. It also might about the author when he was a young boy. You have young children that love books will this book talk about books throughout. It great for readers and parents but also for children that want learn about books a bit as well.

Album Favorite

"I could've picked anything by Roxy but Siren is just incredible; there isn't a bad track on the whole thing. That album was the last before they went lounge. The suits came a bit later. On Siren he was still dressed like an army guy - well, a cub scout without the hat on. I never saw Roxy live until 2001 though - I only ever saw them on the telly. 'Love Is A Drug' and 'Both Ends Burning' are great singles, they had so much oomph. And 'Whirlwind'- what a song - just a hugely consistent record from start to finish. Very well played and very well produced."

Gripping

Oh wow!! What I thought was a slow start sure took me by surprise.......and the surprises kept on coming.

Deadly Target is a deep, intriguing read that immerses you in a well written, in-depth and gripping read (with romance and suspense thrown in to add more juicy layers) You won't want to put it down and I couldn't blame you.
    The cogs started turning early on and had me guessing throughout, I wasn't disappointed! I'm also so glad that we weren't left with a crazy cliffhanger.

I adore Erin and Nathan, they connect and work really well together, well, after a little awkwardness, but that's standard with people.

This was a great movie with humor, fun, and a whole lotta adventure. Some of the songs were really nice, and the characters were portrayed well.
